Christmas in November



You know those crazy people who just have to put their Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving? The ones who go a little hog wild about the season and have super-coordinated decorations everywhere? Well, my name's Ally and I'm a Christmas-aholic.

Since this is my first year on my own in a home I will be in throughout the holiday season (as in not going home for the holidays - they live 15 minutes away), I was a little excited about decorating my place. I have been gathering ornaments and other decorations for a little over a year. I realized about this time last year that I had no ornaments of my own. Deep into my "this is not MY house" phase. I was desperate to have a few things of my own. So I set a theme of mooses and snowmen and set to work finding my own stuff. Well after several orders from Terry's Village, pillaging Michael's and Joann's stores, and the on-going search by my mom, I now have a pretty decent collection of Christmas stuff. And I wanted to put it up!

After a little bit of a tree fiasco, I was ready to create the first Ally's House Christmas. With a little help from Saturday Morning and a cute little elf, its Christmas at my house! But hey at least I didn't go this crazy!

So this sounds great, right? My only concern is that we are still roommate hunting. I hope don't scare off any potential roommies with the early Christmas! We have someone coming to look today, we'll see if she is as understanding!

Merry Christmas Y'All!
