No Hum Bugs Allowed
So far, I've managed to avoid the holiday Hum Bug. I bought a small tree at Goodwill, placed some other decorations around the apartment, and have used the Advent wreath and devotional book every night since December 1st. As I write this post, Christmas carols are playing on the laptop and the virtual fire is streaming on Netflix.

| my small and humble tree December 2019 |
Am going to put up the decorations this week and so far have been fine. I love you little tree..it looks a lot like mine.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your little tree. Sounds and looks to me like you definitely do not have the hum bugs. I don't put up a big tree anymore and if we stay home for Christmas I will put up the 3ft tree I also bought from Goodwill a few years ago. This year we are gone, but I did put up a few decorations.
ReplyDeleteI love your tree! So pretty and festive and perfect for an apartment. Fletch went out and got our tree yesterday (before the *weather* we are having this week. I need him to bring up the tub of Christmas decorations from the basement so I can get some decorating done! No hum bugs here.
ReplyDeleteI love that virtual fireplace thing. I pull it up on my laptop and go to sleep with it every night.
ReplyDeleteWe don't do a LOT of decorating ....no tree. But, the lights are up outside and my Christmas decorations inside are put around. Our decorations are more of a WINTER celebration ---- lots of snowmen and penguins. No Humbug here.
ReplyDeleteI like to decorate for Christmas but my husband could care less. He sees holidays as "just another day".
ReplyDeleteI think your tree is beautiful and it sounds as though you definitely don't have the humbug spirit.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm missing the kids and our Christmas will be very quiet this year, I'm trying to stay in the spirit of the season by reading Luke every day and trying to remember to focus on Jesus through the season. No humbug for me either.
Blessings,
Betsy
So far I have... though I haven't done much decorating yet. Focus has been work, and getting Sam's quilt done when I'm not working. Maybe by the end of the week, I'll get to dragging the boxes out - I don't have much - a small tree and a few doo dads
ReplyDeleteI am less Humbuggy than I have been in previous years! Our oldest son and DIL are here for a visit and the whole family gathered last night. Wow we are a huge group! It was such fun.
ReplyDeleteI love your tree. It is so sweet and symbolic of the spirit of Christmas. I hope your Christmas Season is as beautiful!
Such a pretty little Christmas corner, we need a few things out, I always feel, just to into the Christmas spirit.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of year. I love the snow, the lights, the music, the anticipation of the children, the feeling of joy, the spirit of Christmas, giving away warm things I make (hats, mittens, slippers)...
ReplyDeleteSo far, so good!
ReplyDeleteYes Nancy. Even with my father's death, I see the creche and I celebrate. My father and mother had great faith. They join the little Savior this Christmas together. I am enjoying carols, and anyone and everyone's decorations.
ReplyDeleteNot too humbuggy yet! Your little tree is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh your tree looks so happy and festive!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the process of putting out the decorations and we are getting a tree tomorrow. But there has already been lots of Christmas music. :-)
I am proud of you and it is encouraging me, too!
ReplyDeleteI am working on driving the bug out of my house!
Thanks!
