I suppose the upside to this is that I have been attempting to satiate the desire by figuring out where I will put everything once it is sane to do so. This will save me a lot of planning time and maximize the time I get to enjoy the decorations before it is no longer sane to have them up :P Anyhoo, speaking of decorations, my mom brought this little beauty over last week and I was SO excited!
Although I do have to admit that after hearing that Cindy and Allison were both making their husband's stockings, I felt like maybe I should have made this myself. Then I got over it because my mom does a fantastic job and if it were up to me this year, then he wouldn't have one finished in time. Thanks Mom, I am so happy with how it turned out!
So anyway, to all you people out there who are fighting back the urge to decorate and are wondering if you are crazy... yes, you are. But hey, you aren't alone :)

Haha! Your post made me laugh. I miss you Abby!
You could start a new tradition. Chris and I decided that since we are gone for a week at Thanksgiving and basically 2 weeks at Christmas, we are starting a new tradition. So on November 1st we put up the tree. It has been so fun to come home to every day! That's all we are putting out for now, but it is so fun. I even indudgled in Christmas candles. Call me crazy, I don't care. :)
I've been 'working' on Rett's stocking for a year. HAHA. The first year we were married I decorated for Christmas the first week of November when he was at the deer lease.
It's BEAUTIFUL. Don't worry- I only have the SON of Cason embroidered and that's IT. I have a long way to go...
First, I have to tell you that I drove into my neighborhood yesterday to discover that someone already has their Christmas lights up and had them turned on! I love Christmas lights, but I still thought they were a little crazy!
Second, I love that stocking! It is absolutely adorable and I have been looking for stockings that we could have as a family that would be something we would cherish over the years. My family had some that a lady made for us and we still use them at my parents' house every year. Maybe your mom would be willing to tell me where to find such adorable stocking patterns?
Carissa, check it out :)
