This year I began searching for Christmas ideas in, oh say, August. I began my search for new Christmas stockings. I scored some awesome stockings from Pottery Barn. I found some super easy decorating ideas on http://pinterest.com and have already put them up. Yesterday we hung lighted garland outside and I got some nice little 4ft. trees at Target for in front of my side lights at the front door.
This coming Saturday, we will be setting up the tree and decorating the rest of the house for this most festive time of the year, and hopefully my Itch will be scratched!
