I've been brainwashed

A couple weeks ago, I was dreading Christmas or anything to do with Christmas. I hate our tree, all the plastic tips had come off so decorating it was as much fun as wrestling a cat.

My wonderful parents took pity on me, I think because they know how much I love Christmas. They bought me a new tree. Pre-lit so I don't have to fight with the damn lights! I am SO SO excited to get this tree. I'm almost giddy about it! I hope it will be in(walmart site to store) next weekend so I can decorate it on black Friday. I'm going to use our extra lights to string up around the arch way. I already have it planned out, put some Christmas carols on the ihome, make some hot chocolate for the kids and I and trim the tree then settle down with some sugar cookies and maybe a Christmas movie.
