Come the second week of December and my boxes still aren’t unpacked, my self still not settled into the House of Dreams.
Moving while working isn’t easy.
Maybe I’d be tempted to skip Christmas decorating this year. After all, I’ll be going back to Lincoln to celebrate Christmas with my family anyway.
But I couldn’t do that.
Christmas provides the impetus to finish my unpacking, to get the main rooms ready.
Stick a tree in the corner next to the piano.
Lights around the window and a mini-tree on the end table.
Anna winds lights along the staircase.
Christmas balls and lights among my crystal on a bookcase.
An advent wreath on the table.
The House of Dreams is ready for Christmas (except for those empty boxes and miscellany still hanging out in the dining room.)
I finished the last “emptying” of the living room and dining room last night.
Two more rooms moved in–and two ready for Christmas. Yippee!
And now, to show off my Christmas tree and its homemade skirt in a bit more detail…
Please forgive my vanity, but I’m pretty proud of our little (big) House of Dreams.
