Christmas Decorating



















Hi. Today I will tell you about decorating for Christmas. Christmas is in just 23 days and I can't wait!!


















When I was at Sarah's house my Dad, Ashton, Alex, and Uncle Mario put up the outdoor lights and the Santa train. Later that day mom and I went to a tree farm and cut down a REAL Christmas tree. That evening we all decorated the real tree with all the silly, pop culture, comic book, and kids ornaments. We have set up other things too like the advent calendar house and the days till Christmas Santa.















Today we decorated the artificial tree with old fashioned glass ornaments and ribbon. Friday when Alex got home from the Christmas bizarre he put the presents he got for us under the tree. He got a present for each of us and a family present. Tuesday, Steppenwolf knocked the tree over. Nothing was broken beyond repair, but a couple things broke.
















Yesterday we put the skirt on the tree and set up the train. On the empty part of the train there are two presents. One is mom's and one is Ashton's. Alex says his favorite part of Christmas is putting up the ornaments. Mom's favorite is the excitement. Ashton's is the excitement on Christmas Eve when he is trying to sleep and Christmas Eve dinner. He says it always seems more special than Christmas Day dinner. Ashton also says that Dad's favorite part is going in a dark corner of the house and reading comics while we are having fun on Christmas Day. My favorite part is also the excitement on Christmas Eve night when I'm trying to sleep and watching other people's faces light up when they open a present.





















I love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday. I love the music, smiles, and warmth of Christmas.
