{It's Begining to Look a lot like Christmas]

It's really no surprise that I absolutely love Christmas decorations. It's my second favorite holiday, right behind 4th of July, but the only holiday I truly get excited about decorating for. Every year, I put out all the storage bins of tinsel, lights and ornaments the day after Thanksgiving. The colder outside the better. And, just to add to the festivities, I always simmer cinnamon and orange peel on the stove ... ahh, it's heaven!

Every year, the day after Christmas, I go to our local Target, Kohls, etc, and I get decorations at half off or more. Before I have time to even enjoy them, I place them back in the bins for next year. It's a little surprise for next Christmas!

That being said, I decorate all of the house on Friday and I leave Saturday open for tree shopping. Then Sunday, I usually decorate the tree. This past Sunday I had to decorate REALLY late at night, because two little boys would not let me during the day!

Here is a little sneak peak of our house ...
