Christmas- Post 1

I am going to try what might be crazy, but to write a post often during the month of December until Christmas. ( I know that there are a lot of you bloggers out there to whom this would be no feat, for me on the other hand this could be a challenging goal.)
Well for the my first post of Christmas, I can say that my decorations are up including our gorgeous fake tree:) I still have to vacuum up the mess it has caused. I absoulutely love putting up the Christmas decorations. For some odd reason it just helps get the Christmas season underway for me. I think I have always been this way.
I remember the Christmas I spent in Peru; my missionary companion and I didn't have any Christmas decor so we went to a little mercado and bought big sheets of construction paper and made a Christmas Tree on our bedroom wall. I have to admit it was quite the site:) We even ended up taking pictures sitting next to it that we sent to our families.
Another time when I was a freshman in college, my roomamtes and I wanted to make our little apartment more festive, so we went to the dollar store and bought some cheap (but cute, of course) wrapping paper. We then covered one of the living room walls with wrapping paper. Then because that was obviously not complete:) we went on campus to the media center and bought huge pieces of construction paper and created a fireplace with a (paper) fire in it on top of our lovely wrapping paper wall.
Oh the thing we do to add to the Christmas Season!!!:)
