After starting the decorating in the house, rearranging some furniture, and purchasing the sweetest advent bags ever (which will have to be used for next Christmas sadly as they have not arrived as of yet - and this year they will have to settle for the store bought ones) and with the arrival of SNOW over the weekend I think I may have finally found my Christmas spirit!
I have also found Christmas countdown blocks that are so sweet... and many a vinyl wall saying or graphic for Christmas. Makes me wish I had a little more creative juice flowing through my veins, and a whole lot more time to be crafy! My boys don't sleep much during the day so I am lucky to get my cleaning done, nevermind crafting.
Every year I vow only to buy a few new decorations, I would probably buy everything I see if I could but I should be saving my $$ for presents. Online shopping has made my life easier, and perhaps worse at the same time as I don't hesitate quite so much when I place an order online! I had really hoped to have my shopping done by now, but Bruce isn't helping me much this year, he gave me a list and then bought half the stuff on it already... MEN! We decided not to go overboard this year, we want to continue with our traditions but think that the kids don't need hundreds of new toys under the tree... we want them to realize that Christmas is about more than just presents.

(Oh and I really want that to hang somewhere in my house to remind the boys what Christmas is all about- maybe next year!
