and that's IT. She used to do a tree, outside lights, a fancy nativity...but the dogs (and now cat) always knocked ornaments off the tree, she doesn't want to hang lights anymore (and doesn't want to pay anyone else to do it, even though you can barely pass a street corner in NE Ohio without seeing a sign advertising a business specializing in putting up the holiday lights) and, well, I don't know why she doesn't bother with the nativity anymore, especially since it's a Fontanini

Today was the first time I started feeling a little pressure to get going on the holiday stuff. Last week, I busied myself with making an advent calendar as a gift for my good church friend (I even folded 16 origami boxes! ) and I think now I have this false sense of "welp, I'm done getting ready for the holidays". I have a rare 3 day weekend this weekend...thinking I might try to get the house decorated Friday so one task can be crossed off the to do list.
