Deck the halls!!


This is our tree's shadow.

This is our tree.

I suppose in our case it would be decking the hall. Brian and I have moved into our new apartment! And I've been feeling like Martha Stewart lately decorating in the most economic fashion possible (ie: bucket of rocks instead of a tree stand, red thrift store towel instead of tree skirt and popsicle stick ornaments). I've decided that decking the halls is well worth it. Life afterall is made up of all of these little things that we make the most out of. I found a bundle of bright bulbs for one dollar at the thrift store for outside our window and yesterday and Brian and I were hanging them, a woman called out, "Merry Christmas!" We also spent about an hour dressing our new tree in Jewish Star's of David. It looks fitting and afterall, Jesus was a Jew even if they don't celebrate Christmas.

What a pretty tree - and I love the popcicle stick stars. We should do that. Our tree is very bare with all the ornaments at the top to keep them from Allyson.
