christmas decorations

I decorated for Christmas for the first time in this house. It's really fun, especially 'cause we have a mantle over a fireplace! It has five hooks already in there for hanging stockings - so, that means I can add at least three more people to this house, right? ;-)

I also set up our 8 inch tall christmas tree, ha. It has multicolored lights. I hung up our ornaments on the tack board becuase I think just two ornaments would be as big as our tree.

Set up the cheesy 1970s painted plastic nativity scene, with the star trek enterprise (original and new generation), also a few other ships, suspended overhead. They light up. One day somebody is going to walk into our house and yell "abomination!!" Also, my spanish catholic grandmother is turning over in her grave. Most of our friends are nerds as well, and appreciate trekkie things and temporal time travel or whatever.

The best surprise was when I came home to see our house lit up with Christmas lights on the OUTSIDE. Josh knows how I will drive around for hours looking at the pretty lights on other people's houses - so he put up a few strands on the front of our house. It's amazing. I love it. I could probably go without any other gifts this year (ahem, PROBABLY but not recommended), because I get so much enjoyment out of that.

I guess that's all the decorating I did, a few twinkle lights here and there.

Hubby is awesome because he helped me go through all the clothes and whatnots that had accumulated in our bedroom (all mine of course 'cause I'm a mess and don't constantly organize and hang things in the closet with care) - he moved in a dresser for me, and wah-lah, I have a place to put all those scrubs and jeans and whatever. I always forget how many scrubs I have, it's ridiculous, and yet never seems enough, probably because I hate doing laundry just to clean scrubs, but I never can wear scrubs twice cuz god knows what is on those things. I mean, yuck.

Someday I'll be like, staying at home retired, wishing I was wearing scrubs yet again... but I'll have an extra drawer to put in like comfy socks and sweatpants. Isn't that what you wear when you're retired and lounging around all day, sweatpants?
