I hate shopping. With a passion. So, a few years ago, I decided Black Friday would be the perfect day to decorate for Christmas. Works perfectly. Charlie is always off from work and can do the heavy lifting. I'm home to supervise. The kids have a great time. Baking cookies is a must. Some years we go to a tree farm, this year we spent the whole day at home.
Charlie and Luke totally outdid themselves on the lights. They had to add lights to the tree since some of the sections did not work. Then they did the kitchen. Above the cabinets. Around the windows. Around the fireplace. Around the door. I told them it looked like enough lights to confuse pilots into thinking our kitchen was a runway. Looks great though!
Next they went upstairs and created a square of lights above the beds in the master bedroom. Kinda reminds me of a canopy of lights. Kinda.
Lily got lights strung around her room as well. Luke still had his lights up in his room from last year. Not redneck at all.
This year we had gingersnap cookies and chocolate chip to keep us going. We ended the day by watching Polar Express. Perfect ending to a great day. The kids were really well behaved and helpful all day. Charlie and I actually enjoyed ourselves doing the decorating. Hope the whole season goes as well as today did!
