Today, in the 95 degree, no air conditioning yet heat, I have got Christmas on my brain. It all started with the instant realization that the purple, silver and white theme I have had going on my Christmas tree would not really go well with my "Cut Ruby" red living room and I found myself a little bit crestfallen. (I know, grand scheme of things, it is pretty low on the totem pole.) Partially because I love so many of those ornaments, but also because I was looking forward to Christmas again. So, what do I do? I head over to my new found addiction - Pinterest.
I resisted for much longer than many of my friends, but I did indeed get sucked into it. And I have actually used quite a few of the pins that I have pinned. It has not been a total day draining experience for me, I have shown some restraint. But, today, it was definitely a morale booster. It started out with me simply looking for easy DIY ornaments so I could incorporate some more red into my tree (which does indeed lend itself to the fire tree my husband has been coveting for a bit) and morphed into planning Christmas presents. I have even started to plan the girls' present from Santa, that I am going to make. It is rather exciting.
So maybe, just maybe, Christmas really is back. Maybe that love and peace and happiness I had 10 years ago, has found its way back.
Now, I am off in search of a cheap 9 cube shelf . Enjoy your day, stay cool. Throw some love and Popsicles at your kids and kiss your firefighters.
