Christmas Prep

Christmas holiday preparations are in full swing and on track at our house – at least I think so anyway.  The exterior is just about done.  I went outside yesterday afternoon, taking advantage of the last warm sunny day on the horizon, and put a few finishing touchs to the greenery and wreath.  As I dive into the pile of boxes stacked in the garage I may find a few more “finishing touches”, but for now, I’m satisfied.

Inside, it’s still ordinary time.  The holiday baking has commenced along  with its unavoidable Christmas kitchen counter clutter.   This in itself makes the idea of dragging extra stuff into the house seem wrong.

I did pull one item out and decorated Izzie so technically, whichever room she occupies at any given time is decorated.  Since she moves freely inside and out, she never clutters any area for more than a few hours and then, unlike the other clutter, she will move at my say so.  If only the rest could be so easy!  Maybe that’s why “Bewitched” was such a popular program in the ’60s.  The very thought of being able to just wiggle my nose and have the entire house right itself is just amazing – and of course – too good to be true.

Happily, though the inside of our house may be lagging a bit, I can honestly say that my heart is fully decorated and in the spirit of the season.  I am happy where I am and with what I am doing – at least for today! TTFN
