Dear Friend:
Welcome
to My Christmas Site .com, your one-stop resource for everything
related to Christmas!
If
you're like most people, you don't have an unlimited amount of
money to spend, thus having to watch your budget when getting
ready for the wonderful Christmas season.
I've
put together this site in order to share with you all the valuable
information I've gathered over many years of celebrating Christmas,
because I want you to have the best Christmas season ever.
Here
are a few tips that'll help you accomplish that!
Christmas Decoration
My Family's
Way...
My
husband hates when I ask him to drag out the Christmas decorations
every year. It continually is a fiasco because we never store
them correctly or in an organized way, and they are never in a
convenient place.
The
Christmas decorations generally end up behind all of the summer
items that were brought into the basement from outside, so I usually
have to set aside an entire day for him to drag everything up
to the main floor.
I
happen to love Christmas decorations, which doesn’t help
the situation. We have boxes and boxes full, and we’ve only
had our own place to decorate for about four years. I really don’t
know where all of our decorations came from but I love all of
them.
I
know we inherited some of my grandmother’s Christmas decorations,
which of course are my most cherished. They may not be the most
beautiful Christmas decorations, but they hold special meaning
and many childhood memories so they are displayed most prominently.
Then
there are the decorations that my mother purchased for us, or
that his mother purchased, or even that friends and extended family
purchased. We have a huge amount of Christmas decorations, but
they are always tastefully displayed.
Now,
my mother in law’s house looks like Santa threw up in it
every time Christmas rolls around. She is a total craft nut, so
she has countless Christmas decorations that are just scattered
everywhere around the house. And I mean everywhere.
I
don’t think there is one inch in that house that is not covered
in red, green or gold during the holiday season. There are knitted
tissue box covers, toilet seat covers, wall hangings, quilts;
you name it and it is there. So many Christmas decorations that
you can’t even distinguish where one ends and where another
begins. But she loves them, so I suppose that's all that matters.
Then
there is my family. Hardly any decorations because they clutter
the house, and they even started using an artificial tree the
past few years. There are a few poinsettias, a few spatterings
of gold bows and green wreaths but nowhere near the explosion
of my mother in laws home.
I
am now seeing that the home my husband and I have created is certainly
a mixture of both of our backgrounds, melding into the perfect
display of Christmas decorations. I don’t think we’d
have it any other way.
Wishing
you a wonderful Christmas season!
