I am a list person! I function on lists and goals. With that being said....Today is December 1st! A great day to set new goals and make new lists. I can't seem to do it in the middle of the month or in the middle of the week UNLESS it is the first of the month. I know, bizarre! I have also been wanting to make new traditions for Tony and I. So with December 1st coming along we decided that we would actually set up for Christmas! Last year we did nothing! Everyone has been putting up light and trees way to early! We decided that we will put everything up November 30th so that on December 1st we could turn all the lights on! Yesterday came and Tony had already started putting up the Christmas lights on the outside and was going to finish them up last night. I get home all excited and in the mood to decorate the house. Well a storm came and he wasn't able to set up the rest of the lights and finds out that he had put half of them up backwards, so he took them down. I am sad about this, but decide to get everything else set up. We pull all of the decorations out and make room for the tree and come to the conclusion that my husband has LOST the tree! Keep in mind that it is not in a box but it is a fully put together six foot tree. He has no idea where it is...so I call my mom and she says that we can use her tree cause she wants to get a real tree. Then she calls me back to inform me that she doesn't know where the tree is....WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND HOW DO THEY LOOSE CHRISTMAS TREES?! I am not going to lie I was pretty sad about this and I tell Tony "We had an out line, you stick to the outline so that things get done, now we don't have a tree or lights on the house!" He of course just laughs. I don't want to buy a tree cause we will be gone in 21 days and just wanted to make due with what we have since we want to get different things when we move into a new house. I turned off the Christmas music and didn't feel very excited any more. We still put out all the other decorations and had a fire going. The end result was good. When I got to work today I decided to clean my office and put Christmas music on and decided that we are just going to get a real tree! You can't have a Christmas party without a Christmas tree!
