How funny...my coffee cup is about a million times the size of this little shrimpy cup. ;)
As I sit here drinking my daily cup of coffee, I can't help but think of how Christmas Eve is just four short days away. I feel like Christmas starts on December 1st. I'm kind of sad that the season is already almost over. This is my first Christmas with my husband...and I've had a ball making it special and capturing every moment in a picture or in our Christmas journal. I am super excited about the gifts I'm giving him, and I can't wait to see his face when he opens them! But still....I'm not quite ready for it all to be over.
I feel like I didn't really get to decorate the way I wanted to... and that makes me sad. I did decorate...but you see, this is the thing. The house we are currently living in is ginormous. It's really huge...it's the house I grew up in. I figured my parents would be giving me a lot of the decorations they won't have room for in their smaller home (they down-sized after their two kids moved out). But by the time they got around to it, I did not feel like putting up a bunch of decorations just to take them down in a week and a half. But we did decorate some..and you can see tons of pictures here.
Hmm...I am so sorry that this post kind of sounds a little sad. That was not my intentions! I am loving Christmas! I just don't want it to be over because I've been having FUN, but at the same time...I don't feel like I did it as big as I could have. Either way, Christmas is not about decorations or pictures. It's about God's love in our hearts and showing that love to other people. :)

I feel the same way...I love the anticipation building up to Christmas, so the closer it gets it seems kind of sad because soon it will be gone:( This is me and my hubby's first Christmas as well and we exchanged gifts last night because we are going to be visiting my family for Christmas. It was a lot of fun:) I hope you guys have a great first Christmas together!
It's our first Christmas as a married couple too! I love everything about Christmas, but feel SO sad when it ends...and I totally understand not wanting to put up all those decorations now!
