You are a Christmas sort of girl! When will you begin decorating?
I admit that I normally don't start the bulk of my Christmas decorating till the day after Thanksgiving. I usually have a long weekend at that time, so more than it being waiting till after Thanksgiving, it just makes sense because I have the extra long weekend.
That doesn't count for anything I buy new. I have so much that I try not to buy, but once in a while I do and it never goes to the Christmas closet, it just stays out till the rest of the horde joins it.
As I laugh a little, below is what I bought today. I had a crown put on a tooth and I behaved really good, so after I treated myself to a good bought supper which I brought home, but before I got home I stopped a Dollar General to see if they had chrome cleaner and of course had to walk down the Christmas decor isle to get there. Most of their stuff is uneventful, but even with that, below is what came out with me too.
A miniature blow mold Gingerbread house that lights up, a miniature Gingerbread nutcracker holding a Gingerbread house and cookie & I think wood plague that stands up by itself of a Gingerbread Man in a cup of Hot Chocolate?
AND..... a very soft Gingerbread Man throw. ha ha..... geezers.... I need more like a hole in my silly head.
I have an entire Dept 56 village of Christmas houses packed away in totes that haven't seen a Christmas in years because I just don't have the space to display them properly in this house. Until I can use the decorations that I have (and love) I feel rather guilty buying anything new! But I do absolutely adore that throw!
Oh wow....I never owned a village, but I have seen some at homes and many in stores through the years. I always thought they were so awesome. I always wondered how long it took folks to set them up. Someone even had theirs under their giant Christmas tree.
The house I am in is smaller than most places I've lived and there is limited space to put things on tables and the such. Of course I have packed up the regular stuff that is on those places normally and let the Christmas stuff take their place. I never mind doing that and putting the other stuff out, but after, I take forever to get it all put away and the "normal" stuff back out, mainly because it's not fun and I don't want to do it. LOL !
I did over a few years, some years back, let some of it go and kept the most special pieces. Even though the above photo isn't testifying to what I am about to say, I try to go for "bigger and showier"..... instead of lots of little things. I don't know, I probably should not have gone in there after dental work, knowing I would justify something as my prize. LOLOLOLOL.....and Christmas stuff wasn't on my mind till I walked in there.
Sheesh....I'm such a child !
