Well, I am a lost soul. I have not started the least bit of Christmas decorating. I am just beginning to put my fall decorations away. I am beginning to think all this changing of decor is a bunch of hooie! Now, I know Christmas is different but I am telling you decorating for every little holiday is wearing me out. I have done it for more years than I can count. I keep saying I am cutting back, and I really have considering how much I did when my children were young. But now I think I need to cut back a little more.
It could be I am just overwhelmed with everything. I have all these grandiose intentions and then I look realistically at my plans and I realize, oh no, I have too much on my plate. So having said that, I think I will spend less time decorating and stressing over it all and enjoy the time and season. It is really a wonderful time of the year.
So how about you.....do you go all out with decorating? When do you begin your Christmas decorating?
Usually I decorate, or start anyway, the day after Thanksgiving. But this year that didn't happen. I think I will have a scaled-down holiday in terms of decorating. My apartment just isn't big enough to go all out.

I'm just doing the living area, and letting the other rooms go this year. I have plenty out in these areas, and that's going to be all I do. It's hard work to pack a lot of stuff back up, so let's make it easier on ourselves, I say!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone Karie. I have really cut back and it's still to much.
ReplyDeleteI have not started my shopping yet. My son said no presents mom. But how can I do that, so it will be just little ones.
Have a great weekend and do only what you feel comfortable with.
Hugs,
