Since my side of the family didn't grow up celebrating Christmas, it still seems like a novelty to me to have the cheery decorations strewn about the house. For my parents, it's still a relatively new thing to help me decorate the day after Thanksgiving. So, I think it's kind of special. Grin.
I absolutely abhor shopping with herds of people so on Black Friday I happily hide in my house while others wait in the freezing cold. Have at it people! Enjoy those bargains. I'm not really sure how much we are buying for Christmas this year. Last year we kept it really low key as we were in between IVFs 2 and 3. This year will probably be the same with some small things for each of us. Even with baby E, I don't want to clutter the house up with a billion things he won't use. So we'll get a few first Christmas toys and just celebrate being with him.
My ta-tas are now tingling so I'm off to pump...moo. Christmas is coming!

That is a most awesome tree :) Smart of you to stay home on black Friday, I would've probably done the same had we been stateside!
ReplyDeleteThat tree is looking good friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your tree! Christmas is my favorite holiday ( except for the cold weather.)
ReplyDeleteLove the tree!
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty much not giving gifts this year...ZERO money. But the parents are stubborn, and we've asked them to stick to the things we need for Cricket. LOL. They are thrilled to spoil the grandkid to be. Beautiful tree :)
ReplyDeleteThe tree is fantastic!! I am a Christmas nut so I share your excitment. Enjoy your first Christmas with that sweet baby.
ReplyDeleteWe have an account that the AF puts money into each month, and we only use it for Christmas, and when the money's gone, it's gone, and if there is any left, we'll buy something for each other (just a dinner out usual). I love the tree! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeletelove the tree! and i'm with you. skip the madness and enjoy getting my home ready for the holidays!
