The end of November isn't too early to put up a Christmas tree, right?! Well, I didn't think so. Especially since Matt and I have an upcoming trip out of the country, and I wanted to return home to some Christmas Spirit.
And since we had just celebrated our holiday Christmas potluck last night with friends (with the holidays coming up and travel plans booked, this was the only time we could do it!), it felt only appropriate to put up the tree in our condo today. We did so to the tunes of a Beach Boy's Christmas with scenes of the Toronto Santa Claus Parade in the background (recorded weeks ago for just this occasion).
I was a little concerned that we might not have the space to put the tree, but with a little rearranging of our 'dining room', it fit in just perfectly in a corner by the kitchen. We still need a tree topper, and perhaps some tinsel, but other than that, it just needs presents underneath. The shopping is already underway, so it won't be long before the wrapped gifts arrive...
Our holiday Christmas ornament this year for Matt and I were candy-filled metallic spheres from Shopper's Drugmart, quite a steal for only $1.99 each. And the perfect addition to our first Christmas tree - some sparkle and some sweets (although I hope the Runts and the Nerds are not a reflection of us!).
those stockings are so cute!
