Decorating for Christmas

Some of you may or may not know this about me, I LOVE decorating for Christmas. It is my favorite thing ever to do. I will make anywhere I am Hallmark- level of decoration. It is crazy. I will go wild. Give me somebody's card and a Hobby Lobby and I'll go crazy.

Our dorm, our very good sized apartment style dorm, is gorgeous right now. We've got a 9 foot tall Christmas tree, so many baby Christmas trees, and all the twinkle lights in the world. It's a beautiful sight. I love it. In fact, it brought me to the brink of tears. I leave our blinds open just to sho-w off our tree. It's so big and extra. I wish you could all see it. I'm in love. Seriously. It is the best dorm Christmas you've ever seen. I wish there was an MTV Dorm show because I'd apply to be on it. It is truly the best thing ever.

Christmas will always be my favorite holiday, everybody is so happy, the weather cools down, amazing movies, and everything is just so much better this time of year. Christmas is the best. It truly makes me so happy. The holiday season in general is the best thing ever to me. Talk about a serotonin boost.

When the lights start popping up on banks the fourth Thursday in November I know it's about to get real. I TRULY DO BELIEVE IN THE GOODNESS OF CHRISTMAS. It's not just Santa or presents, but there's like an invisible sheath of love that lays over the world. At least in my head there is, I'm so crazy about Christmas sometimes I may seem delusional I guess.

One of my favorite parts of the holiday is watching Christmas movies with my mom on Hallmark. I know this year I'll miss most of the countdown to Christmas with her, but we can really make up for it in July!

Me and Stephy will drink hot cocoa and really battle our need to nap while watching Hallmark together. Nine times out of 10 we don't make it through the movie, or my personal favorite, fall asleep right after it starts and wake up right when it ends.

Do you know what I mean? Imagine watching the first five minutes, learning about the two main characters, a big business mogul and a small town inn owner. The businessman comes back to his hometown, a small country bumpkin place, where he lays eyes on his high school nemesis an inn owner with financial issues, and then wake up to the two of them kissing passionately in front of said old inn that was going to be torn down to be turned into a big mall, but was actually remodeled and is flourishing. Isn't that just lovely? I find it highly entertaining. Another favorite is when the actors play lovers in one movie, divorcees in the next, and brother and sister in the third. All under different names of course! I'd really kill to be a Hallmark actor. You don't have to really be that good, but I think I could slice it up, with just my natural charms and such.

I'm going to stop gushing about Christmas now, but first as Clark Griswold once said, “Let's have a good old-fashioned family Christmas!”
