Sunday was probably one of my favorite days. Jon and I slept in, woke up and went out to breakfast, picked out a real tree, and brought it home. I don't have any memories of having a real tree, so the whole experience was so exciting. I LOVE how real trees look. So beautiful. :) We spent the day decorating for Christmas, hanging up lights outside and putting our stockings on the fireplace. Of course we watched our favorite Christmas movie, Scrooged, and later listened to Christmas music. I love my little family. I'm so excited about Christmas this year. :)

3 Things About Yours Truly:
* I DO NOT like Black Friday shopping. You probably won't find me standing in line anywhere at 3:00 in the morning. Nope. I prefer to leisurely surf the web and shop online. :)
* Besides Scrooged, my favorite Christmas movies are Home Alone, Jingle All the Way, and The Santa Clause.
* This year we have 5 stockings. One for Jon, one for me, one for our roommate Glenn, and one for each of our kitties. ;)

Ah, the bridge in Mt. Pleasant! That's my running spot :)
ReplyDeleteI can't handle sales either! The crowds make me claustrophobic and I somehow always end up spending too much anyway. x
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteAnd having a real tree is always a MUST for me. They just smell and look so much better, huh ;)
You are so sweet to write about me! I wish I were going to be in Atlanta over the holidays and we could get together! Don't forget to plan your beach trip...
