Hello, fellow whos!! I just wanted to inform you that I purchased all of my Christmas decorations yesterday...You should see what's left at Canadian Tire... not even a crumb too small for a mouse! Just kidding! However, I did buy Pop guns! And bicycles! Roller skates! Drums!Checkerboards! Tricycles! Popcorn! And plums!
Ha! Again, kidding, although I could use a plum...not implying anything for those of you willing to take that comment too far. Since our budget is about the same size as above said crumb, that is not the case. I did, however, purchase all my tree trimmings, along with matching wrapping paper, ribbon, lights, stockings, tea towels, and of course, Mrs. Clause's apron. Obviously, with all that Christmas baking I plan on doing, I can't do it in any ordinary apron (beside the 'Mrs' one I got from Katie :D ). Plus, I did all this shopping for under $20! Thank you, wedding gift cards!
Ryan is still trying to make me wait until December 1st before anything goes up, but I think that is absolutely unfair, seeing that we will be traveling to Florida, then returning to FSJ for the latter part of December and beginning third of January. I would only be able to marvel in my Christmas splendor for two weeks! Did you hear me, people! TWO WEEKS. Excluding sleep time, shower time, cooking time, peeing time, and homework, that's like 30 seconds. With an extra two weeks under my belt, I can chalk that up to an entire minute. Need I say more?

I remember my first married Christmas...I didn't want to wait to put stuff up, either. Maybe Ryan would compromise and let you put them up around the 20th of November?
And I'm glad you like the aprons. If my hubby ever cooked at the same time as me, I'd make some for us, too!
I think November 1 is fair game. 2 months is not long to have decorations up!
I'll make sure Ryan sees this :)
i agree....with all the work that goes into decorating!! { ppsssst. i have started to put up the greenery tonight}
I say the sooner the better :) I'm trying to convince everyone that now is an appropriate time to sing Christmas songs...its not working so well...I don't think its fair that I can only sing Christmas songs for one month so I'm singing them in November!
This blog makes me want to listen to "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" - of course it has to be the version with the sound effects :)
Well, good thing that CD wasn't for nothin'!
