christmas time

  breaking out all of the christmas decorations is one of the best things about christmas.  all the red and green.  the garland, the tree, and wreath.  all the lights,  it's just magical.  sitting in the dark with all the lights on is the best feeling.  and it will all be complete when we go get are tree this saturday.  filling it with all of our sentimental ornaments.  finishing it off with a homemade star.  seeing the faces of my little siblings when it's complete.  it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

unwinding all the lights is a tedious and time consuming process.  and painful when a broken bulb shocks you.  seriously,  it scared me to death.  but all of it feels so warm and happy.  everywhere is decorated and flows with the christmas spirit.  whether it be the mall with christmas music playing in the background, or the grocery store with its christmas trees and wreaths for sale.  it's a break from the normal schedule of everyday life.  filled with family, music, food, and giving.

lately it's been filled with a train set B and C got two christmas' ago.  it's also been filled with dancing to christmas music and cleaning up the house.  i may have a tenancy to clean my already clean room.  vacuum my already vacuumed floor.  and make my already made bed.  guess i'm o.c.d

speaking of cleaning, i rearranged my room.  i'm pretty pleased with the outcome.  i move my little makeshift dresser so you could see it when you walk into the room.  that way you can see my christmas tree.  that's when i sat down and saw my feather earrings.  i loved the angle so much i took a picture of it!  oh,  and notice the bokeh?  i'm working on that.  it's hard to do with a kit lense.

but not impossible.  i ♥ this picture.  i'm not sure why though.  hmmmm...

happy thanksgiving!
