It’s the second day of Blogmas and I’m feeling decidedly more festive! Perhaps it’s because I slept a total of 11 hours today (hello six hour nap). In any case, the festivity got real today. I proved my allegiance to the phandom by adhering to the creed: Don’t cry. Craft.
(Please can at least ONE person get my ref?)
Today we put up the Christmas tree – or, rather, what’s left of it. In a house of five children, I don’t think it’s wise to keep a Christmas tree for 6 years. (Note: in South Africa we don’t buy real trees.)It’s looking a little wonk, but we shoved every Christmassy thing we could on there.
In the spirit of Craftsmas, we also made the first ever Christmas banner our house has ever seen! It was quite fun, apart from the paint on the tiles. Not fun.
I’m glad my scrooge-ness is ebbing away. I’m 100% ready for what will probably be the warmest Christmas South Africa has ever seen (I see you, El Niño), or at least that’s what the 23 8tracks Christmas playlists I’ve listened to today are telling me.
Merry December 2nd!
Love and light,
Shalom
Wow we only put our Christmas tree up like a week before Christmas 😞
We usually put ours up around the 5th, but the anti-festivity in me needed to be kicked out. I’d imagine, if we put ours up so late there would be no time to put presents underneath! Super interesting, though.
Ah yeah. My parents put the presents under the tree the night before when we’re in bed 🙂 xx
