I enjoyed your Christmas decor post.

Sometimes when I don't feel the spirit early, if I make myself do some decorating anyway, seeing it helps the spirit show up. I'm never disappointed that I did it anyway.

I too normally start decorating the day after Thanksgiving. A few years the indoor part has started a little earlier, but not many. If I do it early, It is usually spurred on by something new I bought and this year was one of those years. I've been slowly, randomly dragging things out for the last couple of weeks. Once a couple of things were out, it didn't seem to matter or be important to wait on everything else for a few more days. I guess the inside is about 90% done and I won't do the outside till Friday. (or that is what I think at this moment ha)

Your trees turned out very cute and I like the name of your Christmas music list.

Thanks, I appreciate it. We still have a few small wall hanging type things that we haven't gotten out yet, but the lights are all done and that is what was most important. Everything else is pretty minimal. We used to go out the day after Christmas and shop the decor sales, but we stopped doing that as we just ended up with so much stuff we never used.

I have a lot of stuff, even though nearly every year when I drag out or put everything away, I try to let go of some of it. I've accumulated through the years and others that know how much I've loved it have gifted me precious things, so they have sentimental value as well. It is much harder to reduce when things have some sentimental value.

Yes, I totally agree with that and the sentimental value. My wife is a bit of a minimalist, so we try to limit that sort of stuff in the first place. She gets all kinds of stuff from her students at school and she usually regifts some of it.
