I was in the Christmas spirit and began decorating right after my birthday. We didn't have much, but I made do with what we had and what I could afford. The only thing Christmasy about our place was one corner of the kitchen counter. The kids will be a little pleased with the dollar store junkfood...it's all for them. That cookie jar is actually rather expensive, though, and really needed a cleaning, as it was dusty.
My kid's father, Mike, got off the living room floor among all his music equipment that I was trying to clean (it was cluttering the living room). Everything is dusted, rearranged and less cluttered. Thankfully! While patiently waiting for him to move, I hung up a Christmas curtain in the kitchen.
