We started decorating the Sunday after Thanksgiving. What we didn’t realize is that we had gotten rid of some of the things we still thought we had (strings of Christmas lights) and some of the things we did have didn’t work in the new house (stocking clips, copper-colored decor, etc.).
Some items we have been able to replace quickly at local stores, but others we have had to order online. A few of those such as the mantle garland/stocking hangers just arrived. It is kind of annoying that we will only be able to enjoy them for two or three weeks at this point. I have been threatening to leave everything up until March 1 in order to justify the time and effort.
We’ll see if I give in before that point.
