Brett comes to me the other day and says out of the blue "lets start decorating for Christmas". I thought he was being cruel at first trying to get my hopes up and then say "haha just kidding". But no, he was totally serious. This is a HUGE deal since last year he threw a fit about me decorating the day after Thanksgiving because it was still November. It is November 5th and we are half way done decorating for Christmas. I know-- shame on us and Poor Thanksgiving but hey, we aren't going to be around much for Christmas here in IA so we want to enjoy it for a while in our new place, so no haters please. Our tree isn't up yet though so at least its not that bad right?? Although I am sure that will happen next weekend. I wish I was better at decorating and or had money to go all out with it, but alas I am not so my house is what I like to call good try festive. It is fun and puts us in the holiday mood that's all that matters eh? Brett even bought us candy cane lights for our porch way and our first Christmas village piece. We've decided it to be a new tradition to add one each year. We are however arguing about the lights on the roof. We have quite the steep rooftop and Brett wants to climb up on the roof to put up the lights of which I of course will not let him do. It's not that I do not want lights up all over the roof, I just do not want him ON TOP of the roof and told him he needs a ladder....like the one that leans against the house. Seems a little safer to me. Plus, we have bad experiences in the Jenkins family of men falling off roofs. So along with car trouble, I am sure I brought that curse into our marriage and will have no part of Brett being on roofs. I had to hide the roof clamps from him to make sure he didn't do it.
And they will remain hidden until I see that he has a ladder.
