Oh man, I'm in for it with the guy in the red coat! I'm breaking all sorts of rules this year regarding Christmas! Although, wait, maybe a big fat turkey is going to show up at my bedside...not sure which to be more scared of though. The red coat guy I can bribe with milk and cookies, what can I bribe the big fat turkey with??
So what'd I do that was SO bad?? First off we put the Christmas tree up early, and we even turn it on at night! I have started to open the curtains during the day so the neighbors now know we have our tree up, shame on us! But I do not turn the tree lights on with the curtain open, that's too much! I kept our curtains closed until this weekend, too embarrassed for others to know it was up.
I started making Christmas cookies today. I started with chocolate chip and walnut cookies, not really Christmas ones, but it was in the spirit of Christmas cookie making. Oh they are yummy smelling!!! Sugar cookies are next on the list. I'm making the dough tonight or tomorrow and we'll bake them later.
I also am burning Christmas scented candles. Home Sweet Home and Sparkling Cinnamon from Yankee candle. Great scents!
And I bought Christmas wrapping paper the other week. Walgreens had it buy 1 get 2 free, come on, you can't pass that up no matter what time of the year it is! They had a couple cute designs. Not like I need wrapping paper, I have over 30 rolls from years ago when I got it free, but I like new cute ones too. I keep donating the older ones to the school for their stuff.
One final bad thing I did. I have been lusting over the Christmas decorations in the stores when I'm out shopping! When I'm with the kids we ignore the holiday isles, but when I'm by myself I scope them all out!
I do have one thing going for me though, I have yet to turn on Christmas music! But when that turkey is devoured in 2 days, the music is coming on!! Oh and there are no Christmas decorations up, no ornaments either.
So what do you think...coal this year for me?? For some strange reason I think I might still be okay :)
