No more "Bah Humbug"~*

Thanksgiving flew by as if it did not even happen – at least that’s how I felt. On that Turkey day, I didn’t even feel like Thanksgiving despite the fact that I stuffed my face with a variety of scrumptious Thanksgiving dishes like there was no tomorrow. So now Christmas is near, I know I have to get myself up to the speed and get in a Christmas mood. My husband knows how lazy and not-so-fun I can be at decorating for holidays.



….Halloween – no decoration….



….Thanksgiving – no decoration…



….Christmas – almost no decoration…



If not because he brought down a tree and those ornaments from an attic and laid them all over the living room, “Bah Humbug” would be written all over my face and body folks!



The very first year I arrived in the US, my excitement went up the roof and shot up to the sky. You know in Thailand, the majority of the population is buddhist so we don’t celebrate Christmas in our household let alone having a Christmas tree in our houses (except at major hot spots or shopping malls around town that decorate for festive vibe). My first Christmas in the US was without our own tree, since we still lived in a teeny tiny apartment we didn’t have an urge to buy one. I went and helped my in-laws decoreated theirs instead. After we moved into a house and had a bigger space a few years later, we finally bought our first tree from Michael’s which we still use today. Somehow my excitement dies down a bit and my laziness has taken over..blah..blah..blah.







This past weekend, I pulled a trigger and got that evil lazy spirit out of me. Believe it or not people?? I decorated!!! My soon-to-be three year old little girl helped decorate our Christmas tree. She did a great job even though she lined up all the ornaments at the very very bottom in a perfect straight line and broke a few already. It is the memory that counts. I even made a video that I know I will cherish for years to come.
