Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown

Recently I’ve been having fun browsing blogs of perfect strangers and looking at all their Christmas Decorating ideas and what not. {I started out looking for ideas for our new house. Maybe I’ll post about that later.} A bunch of them are having little “tours of homes” today where people can post pictures of their decorations {blogs really are the epitome of narcissism}. So, in the spirit of the season, I thought I would post some of mine for your enjoyment and inspiration… Just keeping it real, people.

First, don't you love what I've done with our Christmas Garland? This is the second time I have tried to put it up. . .

Here are some lights I bought this weekend. They were 75% off. Still in the bag.

Here are some ornaments the kids got at Primary. On top of the TV, since there is no room in this inn for a tree.

OK, lest you think I am wallowing in self-pity or seeking sympathy, I will mention that we have had some Christmas Cheer around here. The kids had fun at the big faculty & staff family party in the WILK. And we had a fun time the other night at The Professor’s department Christmas Party. {Not to mention some delicious salmon!}

But I can’t help but feel like this year our Christmas is just a little bit Charlie Brown. “Isn’t there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about?!?!”
