Well off you go. You'll forgive me if I leave Christmas to Christmas, that is, December 25th of the year of your choice. 23rd the decorations go up, January 2nd, they come down and are returned to the attic where they are lived until Christmas comes around once more.Yeah, about to put up my Christmas tree. I'll get a head start!
I went nuts at the thrift stores last year. PAWS was putting out 'new' stuff daily. I went 3 days a week. Not that I bought a ton but it was fun digging through the loose ornament boxes. I don't do a tree. I hang them on the wall.I stopped decorating the Christmas after my mom passed except for a wreath out front. Who's gonna see it? A wreath is a lot easier to take own than a lot of finicky decorations. I've tried for 15 years to see all the Christmas items I inherited. Apparently people will go to WalMart and shell out for over-priced junk from China rather than investing in vintage decorations.
