Some people might think we are nuts to have our tree up a full month before Christmas, but I couldn't wait! Every year it seems to get earlier and earlier. This is my all time favorite holiday and anything I can do to extend the life of it is ok by me!
I happen to know quite a few people that had their trees up and decorated long before I did. Many use the local Santa Claus parade as the marker for when they decorate for the season. I just pick a date that the family is all together with nothing to do but be together and decorate the house and put the tree up.
As soon as we open the boxes of treasures the house starts to feel different. It's like a festive peace falls on the house and everyone just is much happier and calmer (ok it doesn't last long, but still).
The excitement surround the tree decorating grows as we uncovering the special ornaments from years past, and following tradition I give my kids their new ornaments for this year. They all pick a special place on the tree for their ornaments to go and watching their little faces light up as the tree transforms bring me such joy.
So now I feel like the festive season has officially begun!
Coming up over the next few weeks momstown has a load of great events to celebrate the season! The Annual Cookie Exchange, tons of holiday crafts, or Annual Christmas Party and trip to the Santa Express, and so much more!
Happy Holidays!!!!
