Rules Are Made to be Broken

There has always been this “rule” in our house.  It started from the time I was young, living with my parents and now it’s become my rule.  No Christmas before Thanksgiving!  It’s really not that it’s that bad to decorate before Thanksgiving, but I just don’t like when Thanksgiving gets overlooked.  People go straight from Halloween to Christmas.  They forget all about Thanksgiving!

I promise I wont forget Thanksgiving, but for whatever reason this year I couldn’t wait to decorate for Christmas.  Besides, I’m only one week early.

I was very busy today turning our house from fall to Christmas.  The house feels so cozy with Christmas decorations.

My nativity is my favorite part of my Christmas decorations. I really like this nativity. I got all the basic pieces as a Christmas gift years ago, and then I’ve added a few extra pieces through the years.

We are also very excited that Jesse’s parents will get to be with us for Christmas this year. I realized while I was decorating that they come in exactly one month!
