The 2nd Pain of Christmas

If you know me, then you know I LOVE Christmas!!!  I love decorating the house.  The first night we have our tree up and the living room decorated, we have a little camp out.

However, my husband isn't as into the season as I.  He does accept all my ridiculousness without hesitation or argument, but there are times he can be a little bah-hum-bug, Grinch like. BUT I think this year his heart may have gown a size or two, maybe even three.

Our last 4 Christmases in our home have been great...on the inside, but outside....our decor was a little lack luster.  Compliments of the DeVincent Grinch.  We would put lights up, but only on our bushes.  We did use inflatable decor as well, but nothing near comparison to what inside our home had to offer.

This year is a whole other story.....we bought a bunch of lights and hung a lit up wreath, we even bought a new inflatable Rudolph!  Not only that but Jay did it all with a smile and a Christmas spirit in his heart.  OK maybe it was not Christmas spirit.  MAYBE it was a little bit of competition, now that we have neighbors across the street that set up beautiful light decor on their house.  I would like to believe that it is because we have kids and the spirit of the season has finally bit his ass!


The pictures don't give it enough justice.  It is beautiful!  I LOVE it! Though I think it originally may have been motivated and come about with a little friendly competition, in the end I think the Spirit and Excitement of Christmas is coming alive in Jasons heart.  He even came in and watched a Christmas movie, per HIS request!!!

This may be the best holiday season yet!
