50 days until the big day and may I be one of the first to wish you a Merry Christmas. This season will have a bit of a dual countdown, because on December 19/20 (depending on your theater) Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker comes out. I’m extremely excited for both.
This year, The Stewart’s welcomed a new baby boy into our lives. He was born 2 months early on May 24th (see the 24??? It was meant to be), and he was only 3 pounds 10 ounces. Now Christian is over 14 pounds and is doing extremely well. His sister Mary loves him with all her heart. I love these two more than words can say and I’m passing down my love for Christmas, Sports and Star Wars to them both. I bring this up because, 2 kids make things harder to do. Decorating the house use to take 1 day. Today is the 5th and we are still not finished. Today, I will put up the garland on the railings and then spend 3 hours vacuuming the needles, sparkles and glitter. The only downside of Christmas is the needles. So many needles and we don’t have real trees.
So, with that all out of the way, I’ll post picture this evening of the house.
I know for some this may be too early and it may also be a little painful because of someone you love passing on. If it’s too early, we will be here when you’re ready. If it’s the latter, I’m so sorry for your lose and any pain this thread caused. I truly am.
So, have you started watching the Hallmark channel? Up here it’s call the W network. Leave it to a women’s network to do Christmas right! New cheesy Christmas movies and old classics. I love them because they are cheesy and that it gives me and my wife something Christmas-y to watch together. The movies all have a guy in plaid who lives out in the country and the lady of interest comes from the city and needs a break from the hustle of city life. A tried and true format if you ask me.
I look forward to starting this thread every year and I love that we get all the old regulars back and some new ones as well. It’s great for getting ideas for gifts for decorating, stories from your past related to Christmas and to share horrible/funny/embarrassing stories of family gathers during the holidays.
Please share photos of your Christmas celebrations and your decorations. When we all share, it makes this thread a lot of fun. I’ve taken many ideas from the OS members with regards to decorations and gift ideas.
Well everyone, Merry Christmas and let the fun begin.
