It's really that time of year?

It's taken me a bit of time to wrap my mind and heart around Christmas. I'm not sure why but this year I just couldn't get into the spirit. There's no underlining reason, it was just difficult for me. I had a bit of a late start I suppose. We didn't put our big tree up this year as we did last year. I was at my bff's house visiting last week, telling her that I didn't think we would put up a tree this year. When I arrived home that night I found Charlie had put our cute little Charlie Brown Faux Tree up in the Living Room. It was perfect, it made me smile and I cried. We visited my parents this past Sunday in celebration of my sister's Birthday. I was in awe over their beautiful outdoor lights that I couldn't stop taking pictures. This is my favorite. ♥
