Merry Eve of Christmas Eve!

Though I suppose by the time I finish this post it will be Merry Christmas Eve.

Oh well.

It’s been another crazy day, but darn it, I got my nails painted red for the holidays AND I found an awesome gift for one of my little cousins.

Ta-da!

Red, blue and white for the holidays!

 

At least a year ago I went to a mustache party where the host handed out fuzzy mustache stickers to all of the guests. I wore mine as long as I could take it (it got itchy!) and when I got home promptly stuck it to my bedroom door, where it stayed.

When my little cousin was here for a sleepover she asked me about the mustache and if it was a sticker. The whole next day she asked at every store we went to if they sold mustache stickers. None of the places we went had them.

Then today I found a pack of 7 mustache stickers for $6.50! One for every day of the week! She is going to be so excited.

This is one of those things where her parents will be very confused, but I’m about to make a little girl happy!

Now it’s time for me to get some sleep before a long Christmas Eve!

My house smells like a fir tree.

The evergreens have arrived! Our halls are decked (literally! I covered the bannister in green garland), the tree is decorated and the carols are being sung.

We picked up our Christmas tree at a little farmer’s market my roommate found. The people there were really nice, and they gave us tangerines and candy canes! The tangerines were delicious. A definite perk of buying your tree at a market!

Yum. Tangerines!

And our tree was perfect. Bushy and full and healthy and it smells great, for a dead tree 😉

The guys at the farmers market put a stand on the tree for us, at the tree lot, so we didn’t have to do it when we got home. And they put cardboard down so it didn’t scratch the car on the way home. See? Super nice.

Evergreens, fir trees.

Then we went home and decorated! With the seasonal music channel on OnDemand and some holiday cheer, we chose our colors this year: Red and green.

We started to decorate, but didn’t have enough lights to go around, so the best part had to wait…

Are you all decorating trees this year? Do you opt for fake or real trees?

What’s your color scheme?

Ciao!
