This time she hooked me up with some much needed Christmas cheer for the sofa.
Ruffles, rouching, fun pattern combinations--does it get any cheerier?
She also sent a Christmas tree skirt. Awesome, right?
I love this detail. We're big fans of the letter H in this family (including extended family).
And, oh yes, Greg and I are coming up on a decade of marriage!
Here is my favorite part. What's on the bottom? Surprise!
More Christmas cheer! Isn't that merry material?
But this Christmas tree skirt presents me with a problem.
We were in desperate need of a new tree skirt. The first time in our married life that we ever put up a full-sized official all out Christmas tree was in Turkey. As a result, quite a few of our Christmas tree basics came from the BX. The BX at Incirlik is a special place. Basically, it's a hodge-podge of leftover whatever that the big BXs in Europe don't want. So you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit.
And we got this tacky, cheap-o but trying to pass as fancy, Christmas tree skirt. And we didn't throw a fit. Though touching it every year (it's made out of the same stuff cheap mattress pads are) made me cringe a little.
But the solution was easy. As soon as we set up our tree, I start wrapping presents like a crazy lady and putting them out. I gotta get that tacky skirt covered up asap!
But now I don't want to cover up the skirt. Seeing it makes me so happy.
I may never be able to put gifts under the tree again.....
What a dilemma.
I know, I have a rough life, don't I?
