The apartment is now decorated for Christmas. Which, to be honest, isn't really that big of a task: a few light strings, a handful of ornaments, a 2' fake tree with its decorations and the hallway/front door stuff.
The best part about this time of year, for me, is the lights. The bright colours are both festive and peaceful.
I listened to two cds whilst putting stuff up in the apartment and even when I came in from putting up some lights on the porch I was in a good mood (although a little chilled). Then I heard them arguing downstairs and my mood got deflated pretty quickly.
I've had tea (a lovely white tea called White Christmas...it's pepperminty with ginger on the edges), and now I just feel sleepy but really relaxed for some reason.
I still haven't finished wrapping the pressies. I'm so close to being done, but if it waits until tomorrow, no big deal.
And I realize that this entry feels disjointed to me. Not in a bad way, but in that sleepy random way.
