What this house needs is a fire.

 

Now, my mom would say that commenting on how much junk is in the house but for me its about the feeling of Christmas!

 

Since growing up and becoming more and more interested in decorating for the holidays I've ended up being the ONLY person in the house who's totally pumped to crawl up into the attic to get everything down.  My mom did start to chime in so I'm putting her on clean up duty.  Seriously, it's a mess all this glitter and tinsel.  I don't even know where the tinsel came from, but somehow it's in our house now.

 

Last year I was totally pumped to use ribbon around the tree however this year is totally new because my mom invested in a little blue and silver tree.  I wanted to still have the big tree up but everyone but me said that it wasn't necessary.  Maybe, just maybe on a day when no ones around I'll get it out anyways.  Probably not though- I'm making all of the gifts I'm giving so I need all that potential tree decorating time to be devoted to crafting!

 

In order to up the holiday mood I got up into the 800s on the TV where the music channels are and I found the Holiday station so I've been jamming out to Christmas covers.  All I need is a fire!  The smell of a fireplace and the warmth would really pep up the holiday cheer.  Its like 70 degrees outside and pretty comfortable in the house so it's not really the best weather for an indoor fire...but just maybe there are candles sold somewhere that smell like a fire in the fireplace.  If there aren't I should probably get on it!  Or I could just use sticks instead of incense in an incense burner.

 

And, just so everyone knows... Glitter Ornaments = Glitter Everywhere.
