…and this is how it happened.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with part of our family last weekend. On the way home on Sunday the kids asked if we could put up our Christmas tree. Being the brilliant mom I am I said, “I have to clean the house before we can start to put up decorations. As soon as that’s done, we’ll put up the tree.”
They helped clean for about an hour and then this happened when I wasn’t looking:
The kids had energy and excitement to do the tree that night – so we got ‘er done.
That night reminded me that sometimes it’s just best to join in the passion-flow of those around me than to stick to my own agenda.
And that is why our Christmas Tree is up before Thanksgiving.
That is great!!! 🙂 I guess it doesn’t quite feel like Christmas to me yet but Samuel is loving seeing lights up around town!!
