Okay, we got the freaking Christmas lights up on the house. This naturally required me to exchange the strings bought by Mr. Snaps last month. He's great on amperage but pretty sketchy on color. Whatever. I had to tear apart the old wreath that graced the garage and install all new lights and ornaments - it looks fabulous. We were unable to replace the fake, animated, light-up deer this year due to there not being any locally available that were over 2 feet in height. I have a big yard and those little ones would have looked like electrified dogs.
We did this just in time since it will be below freezing and snowing shortly. It will be like that for more than a week. Yay.
I have not Christmasfied the interior yet. As some of you know, this terrifies me each year. All those objects!
If I had no one to please and no expectations to meet, I would deploy one porcelain and gold leaf Nativity Set across the piano and I would also set up my inherited painted chalkware Nativity set on the bar. This set was added to over decades and now includes a cast of thousands. I don't have a couple of cows - I have herds. I have 3 Baby Jesus mangers, 6 various angels, and enough Wise Men to open a think tank. The EPA has contacted me about my seasonal wetlands provided for the camel herds.
But that's all I would do in terms of interior decor. Not one dish towel, not one Santa object, and no tree at all - or just one of those 2 footer jobs.
How would you decorate the interior of your home for Christmas if you had no expectations to meet and no explaining to do? Go all out or pare back? What would it look like? Why?
