Decorating for Christmas is something I’ve been looking forward to for a couple months already – since one of my favorite local shops did their big Christmas opening in October! I finally got “a round tuit” today. 
This is just the beginning, of course, because I don’t get more than 3 interrupted minutes to do anything – my very enthusiastic helpers, however, do make sure the proper excitement and joy are present as I answer (and ask) many questions about Christmas.
I’m pretty excited as this is our first full-size Christmas tree, purchased on clearance last January. And I searched for hours online (after finding nothing locally) for the perfect star for the top. I think I did. 
Ha, we had a star almost identical to this that we purchased after YEARS of not having one. Everyone was very excited. We had it on our tree for one Christmas. The next year? It was lost. How does one lose a Christmas Star? Sad.
Happy decorating!
