Hello December! I’m still confused, where did this year go? It feels like I just took the tree down and now it’s back up again. Huh?
We went to see our friends on Friday which was very nice, George is 4 months old now and too cute, my cheeks hurt from all the laughing and smiling with him and at him:) On Saturday I cleaned our apartment, did loads of laundry and prepped for the winter season. Yesterday I finished cleaning and then put all the Christmas stuff up. Last year I kinda went all-in with all the decorations, maybe because I was pregnant and overly excited about absolutely everything haha. This year I went with a very minimal decoration. The xmas tree got about 1/3 of the ornaments, I put the garland on the stairs but no lights, placed two sets of mini decor Santa families in the main room (because they mean a lot to me and reminds me of my childhood) and then I put Christmas towels in the kitchen, that’s it. I have boxes of stuff that I haven’t touched, I just don’t feel like it this year. I thought last year would be our last cold winter since we were going to have a baby and were looking to move, but now we have yet another year of frozen fingers and too many layers of clothes. So I guess in protest to the cold weather I’m not putting stuff up hahah.
I’m sure I will get more of a Christmas feeling the closer we get to the end of the year, that’s usually how it is. Still not gonna put more stuff up though, my number one sentence these days is “there’s too much clutter here” hahaha, so I keep getting rid of stuff. J kept asking me if I wanted anything during Black Friday, but nope, no more stuff please:)
The living space in this apartment is so weird, It drives me crazy every single day, especially when we have to put the xmas tree up. We tried probably 50 different placements of the couch and the tree yesterday before we decided to do exactly what we did last year, which I didn’t like then, but whatever, it’s only for 4 weeks anyway
Oh ya, I also created some festive candles yesterday. I like some DIY’s every year:)
