I'm such a big fan of the weekends. I love that I get to spend two whoooole days with the husband. From morning to night. Its my absolute favorite. This weekend was a good one. I mean they always are but this one was extra good. Here at the Grange house we are getting a little excited about Christmas. It's probably 65% stuff we talk about.
This weekend we went to Walmart and bought our first Christmas lights for the tree + outside lights for the house. We spent 1 hour in the light section...you betcha I was going crazy after awhile. Finally husband gave me the cart and sent me off. I think I was too distracting. ha ha so I went and bought a christmas book + christmas movies.
I might be going overboard already for christmas but personally I think its okay. Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those people who skip thanksgiving but in my case listening to christmas music and all that jazz helps me get into the thanksgiving/christmas mood. Don't worry we won't be putting up the tree till the day after thanksgiving no later than that. Does anyone have their tree up yet?

Oh no....it's never too early to start Christmas festivities! I've already started preparing some Christmas goodies to give away and playing Christmas music 24/7. Christmas just deserves two months of celebration. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. cute picture!
Seriously I was saying to my husband the other day Christmas should be two months and not one!
DeleteI've been listening to Christmas music for about a week... no shame! ahah.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful picture of you two. So in love! I love this time of year and that is so fun that both you and your husband are getting into the Christmas spirit already. My husband and I will be putting up our tree the day after Thanksgiving as well. It is his family's tradition to cut down a tree and put it up the day after Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteSame same! We usally go to the mountains and cut one down but this year we will just be going to a parking lot that sells trees :)
DeleteI love the weekend.. look forward to it all week.. wish there was more of it.
ReplyDeleteyou better believe my tree is up. I think christmas should be celebrated for more than just one month haha
ReplyDeletewe are way excited about Christmas too! In fact, last year for our "first married Christmas" we had 3 trees..i wish i could say i was kidding lol! It was probably too much!
ReplyDelete...and just this morning husband asked me if i wanted to put up our tree this coming weekend and of course I said yes!
Hahaha that's awesome. We might have 2 one up stairs and one down stairs! But not to sure :)
DeleteI also started preparing for Christmas, almost all gifts are bought :))) I like to do it in advance! Christmas is beautiful celebration, I like it the most!
ReplyDeleteThat's how my sister is! She has all the Christmas shopping done by thanksgiving!
DeleteIt's so easy to get into the spirit of Christmas and start decorating. It can be so fun!
ReplyDeletexo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
I could not agree more about all of this. The weekends, spending the entire 2 days with the husband, the listening to Christmas music to help with the mood of Thanksgiving...etc., etc. It's all wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about Christmas too! We have already started shopping!

I am super excited about Christmas too! It's never to early to get in the spirit (: We are waiting til the day after Thanksgiving to get our tree.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to put up our tree for atleast a week now! My new rule is to wait either the day before Thanksgiving, or til the first snow fall - whichever comes first!
ReplyDeletePutting up our own Christmas decorations together as a couple has been one of my favorite newlywed traditions---it's been so much fun figuring out what "our" traditions and holidays are going to be like as a couple, and we've come up with some pretty fun stuff. Can't wait to see your place all decked out!
