I've Got Spirit. Yes, I Do! I've Got Spirit...

How 'bout you? (I just couldn't help myself. It's the cheerleader in me.)

I finally seemed to get a little Christmas spirit in me. I don't know why I've had such a hard time this year. I thought I'd share with you a bit of the decor I finally got around to putting up.

First, I'll show you our tree... our 13 foot tree. That's right. J cut it down up on Gore Pass last Monday. The tree was a beetle-kill tree that had just started to die, so we saved it from burning the forest down in the future. We didn't put it in the stand until Tuesday. J started putting lights on it on Wednesday, and then I finally got around to decorating it on Saturday.

Outside our townhouse:
From our kitchen: *Yes, that's J laying on the floor.

A little perspective as to how freakin' tall this tree is:
J wearing sweats (eek!) and putting lights on the tree: *this has never happened before
Decorated in all neutrals this year & J putting the topper on:
My 12 Days of Christmas plates above the cabinets: *the Ball jars are always up there

Is anyone else having a hard time getting motivated this holiday? I feel like I'm struggling big time.

I have yet to put up a single decoration! So you're far more motivated that I have been!

The fact that we moved last weekend has affected my holiday spirit. We did put the tree up on Monday, but that's as far as I've gotten.

I love how you incorporated your 12 Days of Christmas plates!

Whoa, that is some tree!

I don't know if it's motivation, but I really think December snuck up on me this year. I haven't made any cookies or watched White Christmas or mulled cider - so of course now I'm stressed about fitting all the fun things in before the 25th. Ha.
