Neva Lamb’s Weblog

So I am sitting at work on my “break” writing this blog the day before Thanksgiving. I can hardly sit here I am so excited!! Tomorrow is the beginning of 29 days of pure joy! I love everything about Christmas, the lights, the trees, the smell of cookies baking in the oven, the warmth and joy that comes. Most of all I love Jesus! It blows me away every time I think about Him sending His son to earth as a baby for me, for us, for salvation and eternity with God in heaven. I can’t until our Christmas Eve service. I get to help lead worship and I love it, love it, love it! I cannot think of a better place to be on the eve of Christ’s birth than worshipping with fellow believers and glorifying Him. Sweet!

OK, on to the schedule of decorating my house for Christmas.

Thanksgiving Day: Now, tomorrow I will wake up and try to play it cool like I am really not overly excited to decorate for Christmas. It will take every ounce within me not to ask my husband to take out the Christmas tree. I will have to be distracted the entire day. That is like 18 hours, wow, I better rent some movies.

Day after Thanksgiving: OK, this is the official decorating day. I will wake up early because I will not be able to sleep because of my excitement to decorate. I will no doubt go into our storage closet and begin to take out boxes of decoration. I will take out the boxes wrong and make a huge mess. No worries, my husband will clean it up because he won’t be able to stand it. By the time he wakes up at 9:00am, I will have my Christmas village all set up and ready to decorate more! By the end of the this day, the entire house will be twinkling with Christmas garland, lights, and more!

The day after, after, Thanksgiving: This is the big day, some would call it the big dance. This is the day we decorate the Christmas Tree! Now, yesterday I decorated the entire house and went to bed exhausted. This morning I will wake up, vacuum, dust, and begin to prepare for the tree!! I will have ginger bread and sugar cookies to bake with my son. I will let him decorate them however he wants. Later that afternoon we will have Christmas music playing, cookies on a plate, and eggnog in Christmas mugs. We will then begin the decorating of the Christmas tree. This process is very detailed so I will not bore you. Just know that the tree looks awesome!

The day after, after, after Thanksgiving: This is a recoup day. The family and I will be exhausted from all of the decorating commotion. My husband and I will hopefully be on speaking terms since the past 2 days I told him how and where to put every decoration. We will sit back and enjoy our newly decorated home!
