Christmas Spirit

I wasn't in the Christmas spirit at all.

Probably because everyone goes crazy before Halloween

and that makes it stressful.

But I put my Christmas decor up the weekend before Thanksgiving.

I knew I wouldn't have time after that...

I won't do it alone again. Not a tree anyway.

I would bet it stays up forever because I dread taking it down.

But isn't it pretty??

I was lucky enough to find HOOT OWL wrapping paper!

Don't mind my wrapping job. I suck at it.

Or don't have the patience for it... whatever.

I'm so glad I have a mantle for my Nutcracker collection.

Of course I had to fill my apothecary jars w/Christmas candies.
