It has been so much fun putting together our house and doing all of our new Christmas celebrations together as a newlywed couple. As it is our first Christmas, I've been trying to make it extra special. I bought a fake tree at Target the day after Thanksgiving and we decorated it that Saturday. Some may think it's sad that we'll never have a real tree, but I feel good knowing we'll never contribute to cutting down trees for Christmas.
I also made sure to send out our first Christmas cards. This picture isn't the one we ended up using for the cards, but it was one of my favorites. Also, last night we just celebrated Christmas with my extended family and gave everyone wedding pictures. This was a big deal as people have been asking about them for months and we've been putting it off, knowing we wanted to give them away for Christmas presents. It was wonderful to see how happy everyone was with their pictures. I also made sure to send in the mail all the other Christmas pictures for relative who live far away.
Anthony keeps reminding me every day that their are __ more days 'til Christmas and we're both so excited to celebrate our first Christmas together.
