Slowly but surely my house is finally starting to look a little more like Christmas is only 20 days away. We got our tree last night. I think this is the first time in years that I haven’t been able to wear a t-shirt or a light sweater to go pick out the tree. The last couple of years, the winters were much milder than this year is turning out to be – or at least December was! We also got new tree lights – the super-cheap lights I bought a few years ago had all managed to untwist, and they were starting to look like a fire hazard. The new ones are rainbow-colored! Seriously, there are 10 different shades of bulbs on the strands. I can’t wait to put them up.
