Prepping to deck
I wasn't motivated or inspired to decorate for Christmas. I slapped a wintery wreath on the door, but didn't even pull out the table top tree until the weekend before. Bah humbug. This year, though, I'm raring to go.
Being out of town during the prime holiday decorating weekend, however, has put me behind. And with Unevent -- my SCA kingdom's officer and order meetings event -- happening on Saturday, I'm going to be rushed to get everything up on Sunday. I'm wavering on even going to Unevent, though, since I am SO DONE with being an officer and am hanging by a thread until my "boss" finds a replacement. (I've been an exchequer [treasurer for non-SCAdians] since 2004 and I am almost completely fried.)
But anyway, just seeing the bannister garland last night perked me up. I need to get wreaths for the windows and door and perhaps a garland to frame the door as well. The width of our faux tree has made me hesitant to pull it out because I don't have a good place for it any more. I've found some narrow trees, though, that could squeeze into our crowded living space... If I get one, I'm not sure how I'll fit it in the Beetle. There's only slightly more cargo capacity in my car than on my bike. ;)
