OFTEN I THINK THAT I WILL HAVE MY CHRISTMAS CARDS FILLED OUT DURING THE MONTH OF JULY ready for the Holiday and fail to get this done. BUT I do think about having an unhurried HOLIDAY where I relax and enjoy the CHRISTMAS SEASON.
About the only thing I got done toward CHRISTMAS in JULY was to think about it. Ideas tumble around in my head as to what I will do come December.
As HOT as it has been, I haven't started to desire for the temps to cool down with AUTUMN not far behind. As long as our air conditioning is working, I am not wanting to hurry into AUTUMN.
We have about 5 months before CHRISTMAS is celebrated. I have plans of going through my CHRISTMAS DECOR this month and next when we carry it out of the cellar. Right now the decorations are in the cellar of our COTTAGE. They will be going to a storage unit that will be known as OUR ATTIC.
WE are inching our way toward getting better organized. A goal to accomplish and it cannot take 3 years to get there as my heart is pounding to do something else that brings happiness.
We have a huge collection of Christmas decor that I must go through before the end of NOVEMBER so I can decorate this year like a BOSS.
After a few days of resting, we will head out to the unit and begin to straighten out what is in there already. Lots to pitch for sure. We have plans of taking a couple of muscle racks out of the cellar and setting them up in the unit along both sides of the outside walls making room for our faux trees.
As I carry the small boxes out of the cellar, I can take a grand look at what we have and thin out things. I know off the top of my head that I want to keep the Nativity Scenes. I believe I have two full sets still. These I want to keep. They will be grouped altogether in storage easy to get to knowing what I have.
TWO NEW FAUX CHRISTMAS TREES will be neatly stored. A number of ornaments in plastic boxes will be keepers. Twinkle lights as well.
The greenery for inside the house and out on the porch will be a keeper. Christmas wreaths the same. They will be all group together for the first time in a long time. Other HOLIDAY WREATHS will be grouped together as well.
As silly as it may sound, I start getting excited that my decorations will be ORGANIZED! It's been a very long time since I could say that. Drives me bonkers when there's a messy approach to my PRETTIES. I will eventually get to the place where my PRETTIES are in order and I will kackle that I got them.
In my head, I hear the wicked witch of the West saying I'll get you my pretty! I want to get my pretties in order so I can decorate like a PRO. Make it look easy.
It's been a very long time since I got really EXCITED about decorating for the HOLIDAYS. What happened so I have a better attitude? Prayer and one less storage unit hanging over my head. When we moved in 2023, we had filled 3 storage units, the garage, the She Shed, the inside of the COTTAGE. We slowly dug out from under the disaster.
First unit was emptied after a year of being here. It's been a huge morphing thing around here and it ate my lunch. Mental gymnastics has taken place thinking about where things will go. Just a few days ago, we emptied the second unit. PTL.
During the month of August and September, that third unit will morph into our ATTIC full of decorations. The garage will morph into an ART STUDIO. The cellar will house dishes and the glassware overflow. Maybe some small appliances. Somewhere in here the She Shed will become a Victorian Bedroom once again.
I'll get you my pretty. I must have an attitude of having success with this adventure. Gotta have a plan and we do. May it come to pass.
