For married people, Christmas and all its traditions center around smiling children and the joy of having a family.
For single people like myself, it revolves around other mateless friends, a few bottles of wine, chocolate chip cookies, and dirty jokes. We had an inappropriately good time putting up our tree and decorating the apartment tonight as I tortured everyone with classic Christmas songs and indie rock. I hereby declare myself the young and fresh Cuban Martha Stewart.
There'll be a time when these simple days of cheap liquor and a checking account that's usually negative will be missed.
Today I'm thankful for them.
Tomorrow is simply not promised.
Thursday

great decorations.... I'm so jealous! One of these years I will have the $$ to decorate my place.. lol
Love your color scheme! Money was made to be spent! So says this fellow single and broke person! Cheers!!!
Very nice, Gorgeous! Happy holidays!
Well, Cuban Martha, that table looks stunning as does the rest of the place. Love it and so glad that you are thankful for the small things (mainly the amount in our accounts). :)
Your place looks great! My sad single girl lights pale in comparison
A very good job of decorating. You should be proud. Loved the cute dog picture.
Although holidays with a significant other are great, it also means a million and a half different Christmas parties and 300 hrs on the road. Pros and cons. Relish in the simplicity of the single life. =] You rock it well.
Happy Holidays!!
It would be awesome to have a christmas like that every weekend! :D
"a few bottles of wine, chocolate chip cookies, and dirty jokes."
I'm coming to your party. Sounds better that my in-laws house.
Chem: I've been collecting them along the years. Trust me those decorations are expensive and just the table part was over $100! That I bought when I lived at my mom's house for the near future. And now the future is here!
Gia & Odie: Thank you! I really love decorating. It may not seem that way considering my erratic ways but I'm crazy about interior decor. It's the girl in me.
Clare: Thank you ;) Life is all about stages, I think.
Joshua: Come on ovah!
I love your decorations, and your table runner! Nothing quite like decorating with friends/family while listening to Christmas music. That's my favorite part of the holidays!
Bah humbug
it can still be like this after marriage :) and kids? we'll get a sitter to come to your party :)
glad you had fun putting up the tree :)
Live it up while you're still young and hot! Enjoy the holidays!
What fun! I am an unapologetic Holiday junkie. I also just posted illustrations about holidays decorations. :), Susan Cooper
