i try to wait but it's so hard

I try to wait until after Thanksgiving to put up all my Christmas pretties but it's so hard . . . there are so many beautiful things and this year I couldn't resist when I walked past this wreath at New Seasons. They have great contacts with individual florists and crafty-types and this has to be one of my favorite things purchased from them . . . .
I think it says "festive winter" more than "christmas" so it doesn't seem out of place. I did put the pumpkin in the yard debris so holidays aren't competing on the front porch.
Tall House, Double Cup brought all of my Christmas boxes (and boxes and more boxes) out of storage over two nights and we made a fort in the dining room so right after Thanksgiving I can dig in. But it's hard not lingering in the room to get a peek at my beauties. I was trying to convince myself that I would get a head start on decorating if I put out my seed pod creche last night but sanity ruled and I put the dinner dishes in the dishwasher instead. Not as glamorous but just as vital.
