The good news is, I am probably 70% in the Christmas spirit. That’s BIG for me! <insert all the clap emojis> 

We even put up our tree (more claps).

Remember though, it’s not a traditional tree. Because our Christmas looks different this year. (You can read about that here).

We might add red and white ball ornaments. Other than that, we’re done. I think my favorite part is the tree topper. I like the birthday banner, but it keeps falling and causing me to almost cuss (I wouldn’t actually cuss, right?). It’s developed into more of a burden.

Absolutely NO shopping has taken place, so I’m holding out hope that Santa is actually real. 

While decorating, I couldn’t help but think of how our decorations (or lack thereof) are the perfect depiction of our family these days.

Non-traditional.

Unconventional.

We will never be accused of being ‘normal,’ but it works for us. 

At least for the moment.

And I love this moment.
