This was our first Christmas on our new property, Livin’ The 10, and there were some changes in store for us this year. First, our house is 1,000 sqft less than where we were last Christmas. Plus, our entryway isn’t a sprawling gallery with 20′ ceilings and a balcony overlooking the 10′ Christmas tree.
But nobody missed any of it. In fact, as nice as our old house was, we’re so much more content out here. More importantly, we’ve relaxed…and we enjoy the simple things in life again.
This was the first year that the kids did the decorating for Christmas. In addition to having all sorts of fun, we (the adults) didn’t have to do any (well, didn’t have to do much) work! I think I feel a family tradition coming on….
They had loads of fun stringing lights on the front porch, tossing garland here and there, and hanging ornaments in all sorts of interesting places. They’ve done a great job of turning the front yard into a South Texas Christmas Wonderland.
