My Christmas Decor

Yeah! I actually have Christmas Decor!!!! Can you tell how happy I am? Apartment living doesn't really lend to very fun Christmas decor so we never bought a tree 1. because we didn't have anywhere to put it 2. we didn't have anywhere to store it and 3. because we always went out of town for 2 weeks for the holidays. Now we're in a house and live around family so we plenty of room to have a little Christmas in our home. So this is what it looks like. My parents bought us our artificial Christmas tree as our big gift this year. I am so excited about it. Ry and I decorated it with all our little childhood ornaments along with some red, gold, and silver ball ornaments. I think it turned out pretty good. I also found some cute berry picks on sale at Michael's on "Black Friday" so I picked up a bunch of those. I found a lot of good deals while I was out on "Black Friday." My stockings and tree skirt all match and they were all an extra 25% off at Garden Ridge (great place for Christmas stuff). I picked up a couple garlands and my ball ornaments and called it good. Not too much. I figured I'll just add a little bit every year. Oh, and I also filled my hurricane vase with some really cute red and green ornaments. So this is the finished product.

Oh, and I have to tell you about the free CD that I got in the mail, I mentioned it a few posts earlier. I got the Michael W. Smith CD in the mail and I listened to it while I put up my Christmas decor and also on my way down to watch the Mavs game on Monday. This CD was great! I especially love the orchestral parts. This CD is more of a worship type Christmas CD than the "Pop" type Christmas stuff that you hear on the radio all the time these days. I like that it's more Christ centered. Believe it or not, he's actually going to be doing a performance in Dallas tomorrow, Dec 4 and Wednesday Dec 5 so if you're in the area grab some tickets! You won't be disappointed!
