Have you seen the meme that explains “Christmas decor isn’t meant to be sleek and minimalist, it is supposed to look like joy threw up in your house”? I achieved that this year!
For the first time in well over a decade, we were all together for the holiday. The “westerners” flew in from Colorado and Nevada, and even Indonesia! I gleefully admit to going overboard with the decorating.
I decided upon a cabin theme – you know, lots of black and red buffalo check, lots of natural elements, greenery everywhere. I couldn’t find 12-foot-long buffalo check drapes for the windows, so I set about making the drapes myself. (That’s a story all of its own for another day.)
The crowning moment came when our son walked into the house and exclaimed, “Geeeezus, Mom! It looks like an LL Bean Christmas catalogue in here!” Nothing more needed to be said or done.
