Well, it snowed this weekend, and sleeted and freezing rained and rained, but it snowed this weekend, so outdoors is looking like Christmas.
Greg gave in to Julia's begging yesterday and brought up our two artificial Christmas trees from the basement. (Don't get me started on artificial trees--yes, they were easy and they look OK, but it's so not like it should be.) We put them up yesterday. Today, the girls went through every box of ornaments and decorated for an hour or so, so that looks like Christmas. We have one tree in the dining room window on the front of the house and one tree in the corner of the living room.
Allie and Julia sat down this evening after their bath and started their Christmas lists for Santa, so that's sounding like Christmas. We'll probably take them to see our favorite Santa at the mall one night this week or next, so that seems like Christmas.
So I guess we're getting ready. We just have to make Christmas cookies, consider actually doing a Christmas card (we'd like to do a photo card of the girls and I know, that's really easy to do but we never seem to do it), buy all of the gifts, wrap all of the gifts, mail some of the gifts, plan our holiday schedule, make holiday food, and do our holiday travel, and Christmas will be all set. I'm tired already.
