Decorated for Christmas

Matt has established a new tradition. Whether I like it or now…the tree is going up the day after Thanksgiving.  Now he doesn’t dictate that it has be to decorated. No, he wouldn’t demand that.  But he, on the other hand, will have the tree put together, in place with all 3,000 twinkling lights blazing in the corner of my living room with all the decorations out of the attic and in the floor.  So his job is over and now I can get started.  You know, whenever I feel up to it….

I love having my house decorated but for some reason I just want to put off the whole dragging everything out and making the big mess. Doesn’t sound very much in the Spirit of things, does it?  Once I get started I am okay.  And Matt is such the little elf that he puts on Christmas music, has some cocoa or cider on hand and at some point will have National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation playing (and quoting every other line).  So it is fun and when its all done I am excited. 

So here’s a glimpse into the Baker house this Christmas…
