Why I started early
Have you started your holiday decorating yet? I have! I started earlier than ever this year. I finally had to adjust to the fact our adult kids with kids, our grandkids, have their own plans for the Christmas holidays. (And rightfully so!)
Besides, ever since 2017 when we took our family holiday trip to Cancun,
and I had a chance to experience the warm Caribbean waters in December, I decided I wanted to spend every Christmas in the Caribbean!
So, with the kids and grandkids tied up at Christmas and me continuing the Christmas in the Caribbean tradition, sans kids, we decided to make Thanksgiving our family holiday celebration together. I wanted to have a real holiday feeling by having the decorating finished in time for Thanksgiving. I almost made it too but I didn’t get to the outside.
The Dining Room and Living Room
Here’s the view I posted on my Khadeeja Morse CupofMood Tiktok account.
Special Finds and Treasures
Since we love flea markets, thrift and antique stores, I’m always on the lookout for unique finds for my home. Since I’m pretty handy with a can of spray paint, I don’t mind remaking a diamond in the rough. I have a few very special treasures from the video above. Some came as is, and some needed a little sprucing up.
Our Guardian Angel
One is what I like to call our Guardian Angel. In a future post, I’ll give you the story of how we found her last year. I put Christmas lights inside of her and she is absolutely beautiful when she’s lit up at night.
Meet Fifi!
Another is the only kind of dog, I’ll allow in the house, a fake one! We call her Fifi. I found her last year, too. Stay tuned for the story behind Fifi.
The Makeovers
Stay tuned to see how these vases and stand, originally looked.
