No, there's no snow in Charlotte, not even close. But I got a wild hair and pulled out all the Christmas stuff this morning. Neither of the boys have school on Mondays so we're all still home in our PJ's. They've done pretty well, letting me work on it all, and have even helped some. This year I decided to make life a lot easier. Rather than rearrange the furtniture to make room for our usual big tree, I just bought a 4' tree and set it right on top of the table that already sits in front of our front picture window!! I got a pretty red tablecloth for the table, makes sort of an "ensemble" there, and man was it ever easier! So the inside is toned DOWN from usual, but the outside has been hiked up a notch - I put strings of white lights in all our bushes, can't wait to see how it looks tonight. So, while I haven't had much "Christmas spirit" yet this year, it's starting to creep up on me after all! ;.)
As for the shopping, that is DONE - can you say "gift certificate"??? I have seriously relieved myself of some stress this year and it feels GREAT!
