and I have to say it was pretty exciting to see them last night.

In recent years, I've really scaled down my decorating, but may reverse that a bit this year. I think we all need some color and joy in our lives.

My younger d-in-law is a Christmas junkie and usually puts up at nine trees in their home plus her Christmas villages, and window and stairs decor. They've relocated to Sweden this year and had to leave much of their trimmings behind, but their decorating is already in progress. If you're in their home, you WILL have Christmas spirit!
