What is the perfect Christmas? Clearly, it's different for everyone. I like the decorations up early (right after Thanksgiving) so that I can enjoy them for the longest possible time. I like spending time trying to figure out the right gifts. I like it when work is light during December so that I can think about the holidays and enjoy them when I'm at home. Nothing spoils the perfect Christmas like a big work deadline on Dec. 31! (Been there; done that) In recent years we've gone light on the decorations mostly due to the time constraints associated with the Nutcracker performances. This year we don't have that; we'll see if I can get more stuff out this time. I like to put the big tree in the living room and decorate it in blue and green. The family room will have decorations too. We've done the mantle already; we needed that for our Xmas card photo (see previous post).
The perfect Christmas would have all the goodies I love; without weight gain. So, I guess a perfect Christmas is out of the question. It's already had peppermint bark - yum. Perfect christmas does not require a traditional dinner; which is not to say that we don't have traditions. More on that in another post.
My perfect Christmas is not overtly religious. I'm focused more on generic peace and goodwill. Some don't like that - but then they're entitled to their own view of the perfect Christmas!
By the way, here's a pic of last year's tree.
