Even though I've gone to see Christmas Lights, performed at concerts, and jammed to Christmas music on 99.9, it's not Christmas time until the house is decorated. :) Now the tree is up and trimmed. I must admit it's a little weird spending Christmas in the house I grew up in. Yes, I always think of Gigi's house as where we celebrate Christmas, but this year we won't have to stop by on Christmas morning. We'll already be here.
Putting up all of Gigi's decorations made me miss ours. There isn't a family of singing snowmen or a fireplace or an advent calendar city. It's my last year at home too. I think Mom and Gigi both know I am little bummed, so they let me pick which decorations are show cased. Some are the ones that have been around since before I was born like the bear bell band and animatronic carolers. Others are ones that have been purchased much more recently like the 36 inch Santa reading to children and Santa's office scene. I love Christmas so much! There is no other time of the year that brings people so close together and brings so much magic. Let the Christmas movies begin! I'm wishing for a few Christmas miracles just like the characters in movies this year.
Oh and story time!
A Walmart employee has never stopped to talk to me. Personally, I think they are the most unhelpful people ever. Saturday night I was participating in a video scavenger hunt and our group decided many of the tasks could be completed at Walmart. After finding a celebrity look alike and marching in unison, we decided to choreograph a twenty second dance number with the bikes at Walmart. I'm not sure what was different about this trip to Walmart with my energetic friends, but the manager came to talk to us. He informed us video taping was not allowed in the store and then insisted we put back all the merchandise. I felt really bad. We weren't being that crazy though. The rest of our scavenger hunt took place in the parking lot and I almost fell out of a cart. Got to love creativity.
