It’s time to decorate for the holiday season, BUT there’s one problem. All our Christmas decorations are in North Dakota. So, when I found this at the thrift store I thought it was quite fitting for us this year . . .
No, the picture is not upside down. This is the perfect tree for us this year – an upside down Christmas tree as our holiday will be upside down. We will (we already do) miss Jay and being away from him has been a little harder than I thought it would be.
When Jay came for his pre-holiday visit, he brought us some stockings. I collect stockings. I have no idea how many I have, but I like to decorate all around the house with them. I will miss that this year.
Then the day when we took Jay back to the airport we decided to check out the thrift store. Which I am so glad we did. My in-laws had offered one of their trees and decorations for us to use, but with this holiday just not the same – being in two different states – I wasn’t even sure I wanted to put up a tree. I definitely didn’t want a big one since this Christmas just won’t be the same.
Anyway, I was able to find this gem at the thrift store for only $9.99 – still had tags on it, sold at Wal-Mart for $25.99. Jay is sending us a few of our ornaments to adorn it, so we’ll have a little bit of our own. I also found that adorable – working – Winnie the Pooh at the thrift store for only $4.99. What great finds!!
