I was feeling excited today about the Holidays. We'll have a new baby in the house, family and friends sharing in our excitement, and I won't have below zero temperatures to contend with.
I decided to put up the Holiday garland and put festive lights out on our back fence. It was somewhat of a challenge considering how roly poly I am - working the drill (and actually figuring out how to put the teenie weenie drill bit in it) so I could put the garland hooks on the wall, rummaging out the Holiday decorations, trying to safely climb the ladder - all the while keeping my toddler from attacking the drill, eating the fake berries from the garland, running off with the decorative pine cones, and stealing the green and red placemats I put on the dining room table.
Now that it's done, I feel relaxed. I don't have to worry about the house lacking holiday cheer when visitors come by to see the new addition to our family. I know I won't be in any sort of mood to do it after I deliver, so now it's just one more thing that's all taken care of.
Oh yeah, and I put the little Santa Claus pillows on the couch, hung three stockings, and put out the gold and red berry with snow and glitter painted pine cones in our crystal vase for the dining room table.
Now just to figure out where my Holiday CDs are...but I promise not to play them until the first of December.

lol, you sure ARE festive!
I'm trying to decide if I should put any decorations up this year...
M~
Awe! I'm so jealous! My husband and I are building a house right now so we are stuck in an apartment. Our house should be ready right around mid-December which means not enough time to pull EVERYTHING out for two weeks! Enjoy your decorations! They might be a pain but they are oh so pretty and festive!
(Yes, everything is a-okay with my current pregnancy. You assumed correctly.)
Very pretty! I bought lights today to do the outside before it gets even colder. :)
