Although my mother would kill me knowing that I was thinking of Christmas before Thanksgiving has passed, I've been excited enough to throw caution to the wind! It's the first year I plan on getting a tree on my own. Even though I am probably going to spend too much money on decorations and everything, I am looking forward to it all. To attempt to defray some of the costs I am making a few of my own using glass ornaments and recycled paper, which I am also enjoying doing.
