Last Christmas, Philip and I had to unexpectedly move over Christmas break so we weren't able to put up any Christmas decorations. This year was our first Christmas in our very own house, and I could not wait to decorate. We went out the week before Thanksgiving to cut down a live Christmas tree. The experience was less than magical as it was pouring down rain, but we still found the perfect tree. Now that Christmas is over, I am a little reluctant to pack everything up and take the tree out to the curb. I am hanging on for just a little bit longer...
