DAY 2!!! NO rules!

I mentioned that I was going all in on decorating for Christmas yesterday, and my daughter and I did a ton, but there is still a lot to do today........ We have a tree in every room so;-) And we added our kitchen trees to the mix this year! I was lucky to already have a tree that was given to me ages ago, that is super tall and finally has a home amid the high ceilings.....and is PERFECT! I picked up two little trees to go up above in my kitchen.....I spent more than I wanted to, but they are the type of trees I will use year round as decoration....so that felt reasonable:) I freshened up my Christmas stuff this year too, it was time....as I have said I hang onto stuff for a long time....and I love that about me....but sometimes you need some change....and the new space, called for some new vibes.....and so far I am loving it coming together....so today I have a bunch more ahead of me...some cleaning and rearranging furniture....and looking forward to the moment when I can take it all in tonight.....and once upon a time, my tradition was to decorate after Thanksgiving.....that long weekend we get given.....and I felt strongly that we had to wait to eat the turkey.....before the tree:) And maybe I still feel a little like that.....but I also feel like JOY is allowed whenever....being restricted during my kitchen renovation last year to one tree....and my house being in upheaval during the holidays....made it feel like I needed to go all in on decorating and seizing it earlier this year....and it is a lot of work besides......so taking the time to enjoy it, makes it worth it....my daughter and I had fun figuring out the trees above the kitchen....she crawled up there, and organized them and then I held the ladder for her to come down....and we did a lot of scheming and laughing....and she has a great eye and we normally jive so beautifully on the vision, but those trees may only be a weekend treat, turned on.....because going up and down is challenging to unplug them.....will have to come up with a better plan next year....but it works and was fun to try out! I still marvel and revel in my completed kitchen, and that I was somehow able to pull that off....it is a gift never lost on me....so today has me decorating my traditional red and green tree for the kitchen....traditional in every sense, then we have a family tree in the living room, all of our family ornaments.....I finally bought a rainbow tree for my rainbow theme in my workout room, the rainbow after our storm:), and my dining room tree is elegant and earthy....and I have one in my bedroom that matches my bedroom, and my daughter has one in her room! She took mine this year, so I am using a smaller one this year...... But we for sure have our share of trees;-) And as I said before, I am looking forward to doing some entertaining this season....and enjoying it all.....feeding people amid twinkling lights is my favorite! I think I was out cold at 7:45 last night lol, beat from the day....and I am about to get started this morning! JOY is my favorite, and creating Christmas magic, and whenever you feel called to do that, I think is the perfect time:) Happy Sunday! :)
