I Need A Little Merry In My Life

We are not "Respecting the Turkey" this year. 

Nope.

If it were up to me, I'd put up my Christmas decorations November 1. 

Yes, let's get Halloween out of the way.

I love Fall, so I put up my Fall decorations in August (albeit the end of it).

So I do get a solid 2 months of Fall decorations.

We are normally the family that puts up Christmas decorations on December 1. 

That's because I live with Scrooge. 

Ok, so he's not really Scrooge and he really does love Christmas.

He just wants to love it in December and BONUS if it's snowing. 

If it's not? He would like to not think of Christmas.

He says I'll "wear it out" and it'll get old.

That's a big NOPE from me.

I am finally at the stage in my life that I feel like I have a good amount of decorations. Nothing insane. 

But a good, reasonable, respectable amount. 

First tree is up. It's my little 4ft tree in the dining room.

I moved my Christmas village to the dining room this year because we renovated our living room and the credenza they used to be on is no longer. We have a much smaller floating shelf now. I thought they'd look good here and they do! 

She's wearing Christmas jammies too! So cute. 

Our living room floating shelf - much smaller than before and I've kept it super simple. 

New pillow (and covers) and throw blankets! 

I have a few more pieces before I'd say it's completely done. But it feels good to have all my stuff up and the snow is falling today 😊
