So yesterday afternoon my sister and my nephew Nolen came over and helped me to Christmas-ify my house. Okay, Nolen mostly played with Pixel and asked a lot of questions but Sabrina was a big help.
So my tree is up, and a few christmas decorations are making an appearance. I'm hoping that it will help to get me out of this funk.
I used to LOVE Christmas- my favorite time of year. Now as an adult not so much. I think it's because when I was little the whole season was warm and wonderful. The feel of the season was easy to grasp. As a kid you see what is in front of you- not the behind the scenes. For the past few years I've felt ripped off- not gift wise. (in fact I am not a big gift person, though I do like to shop for others!!!) But rather a strange empty feeling. It's hard to explain...
As Nolen gets older I am noticing that Christmas is certainly more fun- he is definitely the highlight! So here, to pass on some good holiday cheer- a cute kid, a dog with antlers and a purdy little tree...
and my new most favorite tree decoration. Boone. Handpainted and everything. I love it.

Cute, cute, cute! So glad you did this for yourself...and the Boonie ornament is adorable! You need one of each pup!
I totally get it, this year because mom is coming it has helped with my Christmas spirit!
Make sure to put up the new ornament ;)
The Boonie ornament is wonderful! The happy child and dog wearing antlers too.
Understand about holiday funk. I'll be a better person on January 2!
Christmas crafts day will help!!! I often feel the same way, but now that we are home from our trip, I'm surprisingly excited about Christmas (probably because we don't have any big plans!). So perhaps the key is to go on holiday in early December, lol!
