Actually, my idea of the perfect way to spend a pre-Christmas day is shopping, lunch and an afternoon movie. And I decorate a lot but mostly inside. Right now I'm covered in glitter from the garlands I hung in the hallway. :)Victoria Alexanderhttp://www.victoriaalexander.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-60167531302117385652012-11-27T14:51:43.160-05:002012-11-27T14:51:43.160-05:00PJ, thanks for the post!

I'm really looking forward to joining you this Friday. :)<br /><br />As for your holiday question: I am definitely not a shopper, unless you count visiting a chocolate shop or bookstore.

Everything else, I try to buy online to avoid the crowds.Theresa Romainhttp://theresaromain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-34529208517035570222012-11-25T06:18:43.318-05:002012-11-25T06:18:43.318-05:00I'm not a shopper.

We used to put up outside lights. Now we live in a condo so we don't decorate outside. I can only stand a few weeks of Christmas music. I play my favorites when I feel like it.
