Prompt courtesy of Rojie:
For those who celebrate the holidays, when do you put up your tree or decorations?
I was late this year, decorating and putting up the trees and as a result, I feel rushed and a bit behind.
It doesn’t help that my daughter Bella-Lena and I decided to completely redo the way we decorate and MADE most of the decorations. It involved a lot of glue gunning, stapling and cutting paper. She also made pom pom’s from yarn and a bunch of bows from velvet ribbon.
Super time consuming.
We actually still haven’t finished the tree completely or hung up all the paper snowflakes from the ceiling.
Besides that, I am doing my Christmas baking at the same time. I have about ten or so different desserts/squares/treats that I usually make doubles of, so that there’s enough for us and also to give out to friends, family, teacher etc.
Back to the prompt, I like to wait until at least December 1 to decorate and put up the trees. I can’t get into the festive spirit in November. It just feels wrong for some reason. Then December rolls around, my outlook changes completely, and I’m like, let’s get our Christmas on!
