Mike asked me to watch It’s
A Wonderful Life with him as does every year during Christmas time. I think that by now he knows my answer but
just wants to joke around with me. I saw that movie a lot when we were kids and
it isn’t one that I feel nostalgic about any more like he does. Mom has that
film’s 50th anniversary ornament and also a Raisinetes tin.
I was thinking
about how I used to love decorating for this holiday. We have so many
decorations but I only put up a small amount of them. We don’t really have the
space for much more. I could put up some of the wall ones but the fun tack
messes up the walls and the back of the decorations. I am not that crazy about
the tape option either. What else could I even use?
I liked making my
own decorations and drawings when I was a kid. I feel stupid for screwing up
the spelling on a couple of them. I put Santa Clause on one and Sielent Night
on another. We had to make an Advent calendar for an eight grade art project. I
got an A on this. We made garland out of popcorn and cranberries in the late
70s too. That might have been a Girl Scout thing.
I sort of wish that
I had the motivation to put up the tree. We have a smaller one that goes on the
end table. Just imagining doing so is overwhelming though. We could decorate
several trees with all the ornaments that we have. I would do one with all of
the handmade ones.
I should tell Mike
that he could try selling my Scooby, Muppets, and some Disney ornaments on eBay.
I just wouldn’t be able to handle doing so myself. I wish that I had been
collecting the Rudolph ones all along. I
looked them up online but forget how far back they go. I have from
2013-present, I think.
