My many views of Christmas


Moving before Christmas SUCKS. I don't recommend it. Avoid it at all costs!!! Unless Christmas isn't your thing, then by all means do it!

We tried to make the best of it.

This was our Merry before we moved.
The teen went out back in the "forest" and cut this down. He even made the paper chain and the star on top!

The day before the movers arrived at the new place we got our official tree. Which looked like this after the movers unloaded our stuff!


We got that room unpacked so that we could decorate the tree, which ended up being just a day before Christmas Eve. Just in the Nick of time! Bwahahahaha!

I snapped a photo right after St. Nick made his stop at our house.

Moving right before Christmas may suck sweaty donkey balls, but my hubby is home safe, our family whole again, and after almost 11 years away this Kansas girl is home!!!

All is right in my world.

I hope you and yours are having a wonderful, blessed holiday season! xoxo

Those wrapped boxes look familiar. Are you sure the jolly old elf didn't mistake one of your moving boxes for a gift? Couldn't happen, right? :-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Your boy did a great job with that first tree, and I'm amazed you managed to get the second tree up and the living room unpacked. Wow, I thought I'd had a busy month! I'm glad you're family is finally all together and back in Kansas. That has to be the best holiday gift you could have received.
