Twas the 2nd Day of December...And All Through My House

I believe I can safely say, we have almost survived the Christmas Decoration Festival of 2008. I would like to say it was without incident, but I believe you all read the post from yesterday so there is no hiding it. It hasn't been so bad, but it has stretched into two days and even though I would like to declare it completely over, I can't. There are still some odd things hanging out in my kitchen tonight, like a few snowman without a home and an empty cardboard box or two that needs to go the attic. I also need to do something to the mailbox to make it festive and perhaps maybe a few more ornaments for my daughter's playroom tree...maybe.

I would love to say these things will be taken care of tomorrow, but let's be realistic, I am shooting for Friday, the weekend anyway, definitely by the weekend!

There was a bright, although slightly annoying spot to my day. My husband rented a steam cleaner and shampooed our carpets. It was annoying simply for the fact that along with all the Christmas decoration boxes all over the house, the furniture in virtually every room has been moved and sent to corners and the foyer and such.

I don't sing his praises often, although there are plenty of reasons to nor do I mention him here very often, but today I am going to shout from the rooftops how good he has been this week. He finally has some days off work and he has been sprucing up our house and helping to decorate and even entertained the girl for hours on end. This of course, will just make me miss him more when he goes back to work this weekend, but it has been great to have him home and to have his help this week.

AND MY CARPETS LOOK AWESOME! He has put Mr. Stanley Steemer out of business, in my house at least!

I will be participating in Boomama's Christmas Tour this year, so soon and very soon you will get a glimpse of all our hard work these past two days. I love Christmas, even if it is aggravating and exhausting, the finished product is worth it, don't you think?

Living Happily In The Moment!
