I have to admit that usually I'm a bit of a bah humbug when it comes to Christmas.I never get a tree and I don't decorate. The holidays are hard when you are single. Everywhere you go there are couples. All of your married friends are trying to navigate the two families etc etc. Being single usually doesn't bother me all that much - I find it terribly hard and depressing during the holidays.
For some reason unbeknownst to me I woke up this morning with Christmas spirit. I wonder if I was visited by three ghosts last night and either missed it or don't remember.
Anyway, I was at Target at 8am and $135 later I'm ready to decorate for Christmas. I'm not sure what to attribute this change to. Maybe it's turning 40? Maybe it's because I can seriously rationalize being single this season because of working full time and going to school full time? Who knows - it just feels different. Let's see if it sticks around for New Years Eve.My condo is small so in order to get a tree I have to get something that'll fit.I ended up getting this:
Yes I know the picture is blurry but I wanted to take a picture with the lights on, and they change quickly so we're stuck with blurry.I also bought myself a cute stocking and stocking hanging thingy - along with some other decorations. When I went into my storage unit to get my tree decorations I also found this:
I totally forgot I had this from last year - someone at work got it for me. So now I have two stockings and more places for Santa to leave me stuff. Hey Santa if you are listening it'd be great if you could actually leave Junior on the Jr stocking. Thanks....
