Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!

Because we are going to be in California temporarily and space is a rare commodity Chris and I left all of our Christmas decorations in storage in Utah. Every single one.
Chris and I were kind of bummed because the weather feels more like early fall, we didn't have anything around us that made it feel like the holidays and we hadn't been feeling any Christmas vibes. Chris surprised me by stopping at Lowe's and buying the last of the little Christmas trees at the bargain price of $2.00.



I was super excited. We thought it very reminiscent of the tree Charlie Brown has, and probably just about the same size. We didn't have a tree stand so we cut a hole in a postal box and put a bowl with water underneath. We even have a couple of presents under the tree. Now we turn on the lights the first thing in the morning and leave them on all day. We definitely have a better sense of the Christmas spirit.
