You didn’t believe me when I told you I would be pulling out a smidgen of my Christmas decor did you? We’ll I’m doing it. I get my stuff out early for a few reasons, 1. it’s too much work to wait till after Thanksgiving and then put it away four weeks later 2. our family LOVES Christmas decorations 3. if I do a little bit at a time when I feel like it then it never feels like work.

I don’t put up the tree or hang stockings, I wait a little while for that but, I do start getting out some greenery, snowflake stuff, red berries, white lights and I keep some of my fall stuff out too because I feel like that season goes too fast and you know, Thanksgiving can be fally.

Why can’t each season’s holiday be at the END of the season?

Also, to celebrate the end of our longest running series ever, the 31 Days, we’ve got a giveaway. And for those of you asking, yes, the 31 Days to a Better Dressed Nest will be available in ebook form in the future. The future where I get stuff done right away.

Oh yeah, a giveaway…
