I can’t believe that it’s December already. Not only is Christmas almost here, but that means I’ve been graduated for half of a year, married for half of a year and have worked in Admissions for half of a year. How crazy is that?! On Monday night Jared went to Prof. Cole’s house to watch Tron. I, however, stayed home and decided to start putting up the Christmas decorations. It was really weird to not be in Emden putting up the decorations with my mom. To make myself feel better, I watched our tape of Christmas cartoons from the 80’s. (Mom and I would always watch them when we decorated.) So fear not, Charlie Brown’s Christmas and Garfield’s Christmas got me through it! We don’t have nearly as many decorations as our parents do…but I still think our apartment is looking rather festive. I was so excited to put up our very own Nativity Scene. Last night we put up our Chrismas tree. We decided to get a fake one…only because we’ll be gone off and on through the season…and we didn’t want to worry about watering a tree. The tree actually looks really good…as far as fake trees go. It’s very full and pretty tall. It looks so pretty with all of our ornaments hanging on it. My sister-in-law had made us several ornaments out of our dried wedding flowers…they look really great and make the tree that much more special. So needless to say, the Smith household is officially ready for the Christmas season. :-)
