A "Heather Day"

I am SO ashamed to admit it but as of Dec 11th, 2009 my house has not been decorated yet for the holidays! Can you believe I had to take a day off of work just to decorate? Once the family left from the Thanksgiving weekend, I was too exhausted to even think about digging out the Xmas stuff. Then I was sick for a week with an ear/sinus infection and didn't feel up to decorating. Next thing I know, it is Dec 11th & I still haven't even hung a stocking. I know - I can hardly believe it myself! Talk about a disappointment! Don't worry friends....this will NEVER happen again!

SO, I ended up taking a "Heather Day" today and loved every minute of it. Spent my morning sleeping in and awoke to a hot cup of coffee made by the hubby. Off to a great start so far...

I spent the rest of the morning on the laptop & caught up on my DVR'd shows from the week! SO nice & relaxing! After an early lunch, Shane left to run errands, I pressed play on the iPod, turned up the volume & the Christmas music quickly got me in the mood to decorate the house.

First things first.....the tree. Shane was so helpful by getting the tree up from the basement so all I needed to do was fluff and decorate. I just LOVE our tree when it is all decorated! SO pretty! After a few hours, the house was beginning to look festive for the holiday season & I was starting to look forward to all that the season has to offer!

Hard to believe I waited to decorate so late in the month of December! I guess I will have to leave the tree up past the New Year holiday to make up for my late start!?! :)

Tis the season.....
