Who is excited for Christmas? I’m hardly containing myself over here and my Christmas tree has been up since October 28th. Judge me. I love to make the Christmas season last as long as possible. I did read an article about how people who put up their Christmas tree early are actually happier people. I keep telling myself it’s a GOOD thing to decorate early to make myself feel better and less crazy.
