Just after Thanksgiving (as in the very next day) I noticed the neighbors starting to put up their trees and outdoor Christmas lights. I started thinking, hey, those look kinda nice. I kinda wish I had some. Day by day and little by little that 'kinda want' turned into a 'must have'. I made up my mind yesterday and tonight after work I persuaded my boyfriend to stop at Target to look at lights. We were successful in our question and ended up getting net lights. I had no idea they even made these things but my boyfriend found them and they seemed like they'd make outdoor decorating much easier so I was all for it.

I have some bushes in the front I want to throw the lights over. In my head it will take about 5 minutes to complete. It will be easy and the lights will look perfect. Ha, right? I was so excited and so convinced that it was going to take no time at all I wanted to do it tonight as soon as we got back from the store. My boyfriend was having none of it...
erin: Can we put up the lights tonight?
erin's boyfriend: No. We'll do it on Saturday.
erin: But why? It's much warmer tonight than it's supposed to be on the weekend.
erin's boyfriend: It's dark out. We're not putting them up in the dark!
erin: I think it will be fine. There are lights on the outside of the house.
erin's boyfriend: What lights?
erin: The ones over the garage.
erin's boyfriend: Oh, you mean the ones that are nowhere near the bushes?
erin: hrmph.
So yeah, I was very disappointed, but we did not get the lights up tonight. He complains that I don't have enough holiday spirit and now when I want to be all festive and embrace the season he is the one with the bah humbug attitude! :)
What sort of decorating do you do for the holidays?
tiny house = tiny decorations
I saved enough to fit into one hope chest (vs. several boxes in the attic at the old house).
It won't be much, but enough to be in the Christmas Spirit (small tree, lighted garland, illuminated snowman, various knick-knacks, cinnamon spice candles).
Happy Holidays!
You should get him a flashlight for an early Christmas present :-)
I did some Xmas baking. I put some lights up outside but the plug makes sparks every time I plug it in outside so I am not plugging them in. I will get my tree up and decorated later. I don't like having stuff up too early. Christmas is just one day not two months or so. Besides, my birthday is this month and I'm going to deal with that first.
NatureCat: That sounds lovely! If you have a smaller house I don't think you want to overdo the decorations.
Christina: Heh. We already have a flashlight! Perhaps he doesn't know how to use it? Doesn't know where it is in the utility closet? Hehe :) I am actually getting him a small little flashlight that comes with the swiss army knife I bought (which I may actually "borrow" it for running in the dark). No more excuses!
Laura: Hello! Nice to see you again :) I tend to agree that you don't want to put stuff up TOO early (or leave it up too late). I just got the Christmas tree up today with the lights but the decorations have not been added yet. I hope you have a lovely birthday this month!
I plan to be back at some point this week with pictures of my small bits of decor/holiday spirit.
