I love Christmas

I seriously love Christmas, it is by far my most favorite time of the year. I'm not overly domestic when it comes to cooking, decorating , hosting etc but once Christmas gets close that all just goes out the window.

This was supposed to be mine and Irelands big decorating weekend. We were going to put up the lights, wreath, window decals, and all the other jazz but unfortunately I have a huge exam this coming Tuesday that I really have to focus the majority of my attention on so it's going to have to wait until next weekend. I was pretty disturbed about it, Ireland didn't really seem to care lol. If we could put up the christmas tree then I would be up for that as well but since Greg and I take Ireland to cut down a tree that parts going to have to wait until a couple weeks before x mas as opposed to next weekend.

I'm pretty much done my Chritmas shopping and have almost all of our holiday plans organized since last year was completely hectic with us not knowing half of what we were going to do until the day before. I'm hoping to alleviate some stress by working with my family, Gregs family, friends etc in organizing a better plan in regards to visits , dinners etc.

Although Greg, Ireland and I are by no means a traditional family in almost any sense, we're really traditional with Christmas and other holidays and making sure that we're all together and that we do a combination of all the things that are important to Greg at christmas combined with all the things that are important to me at Christmas. It USUALY works out great for all of us and I'm hopnig that this Christmas is by far the best yet!

I put up my tree this weekend. But I chinzed out on the decorating as Im not sure how my dog Milo will do with the decorations. So I just went to walmart and bought cheap balls and ribbon.

I like that you and greg go cut down a tree every year. Ireland must love that too. I hope we get together before Christmas. Its been too long.

Also I hope you can figure out Christmas. Chris and I have that problem too. We still havent figured it all out. oh well.
