Decorating with our Literature Editor

Olivia-1.jpg

Come the day after Thanksgiving every year, I'm ready to decorate. Reality always seems to get in the way though – little things seem to come up and decorating always gets pushed back until the first week of December. Post-Thanksgiving exhaustion, sick family members, writing deadlines, and late shifts at work. Decorating always goes from a dreamt-up day of cheer to a few hours snatched here and there in the evenings. Thankfully though, the Charlie Brown Christmas album finally played and the tinsel came out this past Sunday and the last of my decorations went up. Here are some of my favorites.
