What snow looks like

This photo came up on my Facebook newsfeed courtesy of Pleated-Jeans and I had to share. It's so true! To me, snow is a huge hassle. To my Southern friends, it's magical.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's officially OK to decorate our homes for Christmas. This is the first Christmas that Handsome and I are sharing a home and I was so excited to decorate. My roommate the past three Christmases is a holiday decorating maven so I've been leaving it up to her, but this year it was up to me.

My hometown is Christmas City USA so I am in love with all things Christmas. I'm not going to lie and say I love those hideous blow-up or light-up lawn ornaments-- or really any lawn ornaments-- but in general I love all (tasteful) Christmas decorations. And you have to admire the spunk of the people whose lawns are littered with light-up baby Jesuses next to Santa and his sleigh-- they are willing to throw their dignity and electricity bill out the window for the Christmas spirit. So to sum up, I think you should decorate how you choose.
