Holiday Season

I guess i've started a mini tradition in my apartment. Before heading home for Thanksgiving I always decorated for Christmas. It's much easier to enjoy the week with my family and then come back a Christmas wonderland. December is a hard month for me, so I compensate by trying to make it as magical as possible. Decorating is the first step in this master plan. I spent all morning putting up the tree and swapping at all my fall decor for winter ones. I still have a crap-load of cleaning and packing to do, followed by some mindless errands to prepare for my week away but i'm excited to head home tomorrow. I could use the family time as a distraction from the impending pressure of December blues.
