I’m Getting Into The Spirit of It All!

If you’ve read my first entry (or second? I can’t recall), you will know that I actually set out to improve the status of my life by taking it by the balls. The balls!

So, in the spirit of things, I decided I would take on the daunting task of finding a way to spruce up the condo in time for Christmas, even if I will be home for the holidays and nobody comes in here. The sprinkling of joy will add a sparkle to my life that makes me greet the day with cheer. Holiday cheer!

So, I started decorating. I’m only using some magic tape and construction paper. But I think I’ve done a good job, even if it is coming out a little clipart-y and looks like it should belong in a kindergarten classroom.

THE POINT IS, the decorations make me feel good and so I do.

Here are pictures. I’m not yet done, I am NOWHERE near done but I think what I’ve accomplished so far has vastly improved my Christmas spirit. No grinches or scrooges allowed, please. Humbug is so not what I aim for. Here is a slideshow to make you believe me:

Picture 1: My BIG-ASS MIRROR has been converted from boring mirror to a SNOWY PICTURE WINDOW from the outside looking in. Clever, huh? Let me just mention that (1) I’ve never seen snow, and (2) I’m proud of this, the most.

Picture 2: My WREATH! Can you believe? I wanted to just buy one, originally. But why buy something nobody will see when you can make one and be happy! Yes, those candy canes are made by yours truly… NOT YET DONE, MORE TO COME!

Picture 3: PART of my Christmas tree. Isn’t the angel-topper just adorable?!

I wasn’t expecting any of the decorations to come out as adorable as they did. This makes me want to make more. What sucks is that I’m never here on the weekends and the weekdays are slowly being sucked into an endless cycle of waking up, going to school, studying, going to bed.

I WILL TRANSCEND ABOVE THE STRESS. I promise.

Get into the spirit of it all!
