When Jay and I moved into our house in NC in 2005, it was just after Christmas, so we were sort of in a holiday limbo that year. We're sort of in the same boat this year on the tail end of leaving our house. We have all of this stuff that was measured for the house that is too big for this apartment - and it's all crammed into boxes in the storage closet off the patio.
We're very excited to be seeing some family this week, and I had every intention of "decking our halls," but with work being uber crazy, it just hasn't happened. There's a wreath on our door and I'm gonna hang up some lights out on the balcony, but that's pretty much it.
I figure we'll be out and about at places with plenty of holiday cheer - and hopefully next year we'll be in a place with a little more space and feel a little more settled - and they I'll know just where to hang the garland and just where to trim the tree.
While his family is here, we're also planning to take them to see some of the hundreds of decorated trees down at Disney, and to the Candlelight Processional at Epcot and to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, so I think that'll be plenty festive!
Our Christmas spirit will come from within - and the post-holiday stress of taking down the decorations is gone! What a gift!
