advent {day 2}
::
Today is decorating day. Boxes will be opened, old friends
greeted with smiles, new scents will fill the air.
Christmas carols will echo through the rooms,
or favorite old movies will keep me company as I work.
My husband thinks I’m crazy to go to all this trouble.
And I will make a big mess.
But it’s all worth it.
The month of December will look more sparkly
and magical than any other month of the year.
At night, after everyone has gone to bed, I will sit on the couch
in front of the fire with fairy lights for company.
It will be all I need.

The lights are my favorite part of christmas. I spend hours in the quiet just looking at them.

Now this is how I see December too. I decorate a little later than you, though. But I love this!
