O' Christmas Tree

Its up! Its finally up and it actually has decorations on it! 

I haven't had much free time lately, so we went with all store bought ornaments and a few of our keepsake ornaments. I WILL try out some Pinterest decor next year for sure! 

This is the only picture I've taken so far of our tree. I'm going to try to whip out the big camera this weekend and get a few shots. Although its just a phone photo, I'd like to point out that there is are not many things more sweet than watching your puppy sleep beside a light Christmas tree while listening to Christmas music. 

This is the VERY best photo I could snap of Bronx in his Christmas hat.
Sadly, most of the other tries look like this....

The OTHER Christmas List

I love this time of year. I love seeing the lights, hearing people greet each other and wish one another a happy holiday. I love all the baking and wrapping. Its just a great time of year! It makes me smile. It warms my heart.

But enough of the mushy stuff. Cause there is another side to this time of year....The Christmas To Do List.

Yep. The other kind of Christmas List. Not the good kind - ya know, the one you get to write down all the things you've been wanting. 

Do you have one? Is yours taking up like 3 friggin' sheets of paper?
No? Consider yourself lucky! 

This time of year my TO DO list is never ending.Seriously, I love shopping and all the events and gatherings going on each year for Christmas, but to get to that point of enjoying those things...you have to tackle the To Do list.

I feel as if I mark one item off and then add five more!

So cheers to you if you're ahead of your game and have been able to strike all the items off of your list, cause this chick is not (ahead of the game or anything else for that matter).

Hell, if we're being honest - my tree has been up for a week and it has one bow and a strand of lights on it. And the only actual complete decor?


Yep, I suck.
And if I'm being really honest - all I did was hung the garland. It was still pretty much fixed from last year. Ha!

But, even if I have to drink 32 ounces of coffee every hour, for the next 20 days... that damn tree will be decorated and all the items crossed off my list by Christmas Eve!
