Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Just thought I would share the construction of our Christmas tree this year. We've been having a pretty rough time getting into the holiday spirit around the house. We've all been pretty sick and it is hard to feel cheery. However, we set out to decorate and this is what happened!

Putting up the garland

Up with the garland and a few gold ornaments

some more ornaments, blue, red, green, and some old childhood ones

the finished product! Tree topper and skirt and all. 

I included a video with a closer look at the tree and some of the ornaments :) How has your holiday preparations going?

Thanksgiving Eve

So a friend of mine reminded me that Thanksgiving Eve is the biggest bar night of the year. Did you participate?

I did! In fact I just got home, but I had an amazing time. I am actually smiling right now because I had such a good time.

Don't you just love those kinds of nights?

My best friend and I went to a local bar and we had the best time, it's times like these that I'm so lucky to still have her in my life after 10 years or so.

So what are your Thanksgiving plans?

I'm going to my Aunt's house and as classic Italians do...dinner is at 3 :)

I hope you have an amazing holiday!
