Decorating

We were late getting our Christmas decorations up.  We meant to get the decorations out after Thanksgiving.  But there was shopping and I was tired.

This week I meant to get the decorations out.  But I didn’t.

I knew I really needed to go thru the decorations thoughtfully and get rid of some that we no longer use.  That was a little bit cutting down on the decorating anticipation.  We had inherited decorations that I’d just been adding to our collection.  And they’ve sat in boxes for a couple years now.

We started decorating today!  I have quite a few boxes still to go.  So far though, I’ve whittled our collection down considerably!  Yay!

Tonight I am thankful for decorating for Christmas!  And I am thankful for doing it intentionally so the clutter of the decoration boxes will no longer be a source of hesitation in years to come!
