He sees you when you’re sleeping,

He knows when you’re awake,

He knows if you’ve been bad or good,

So be good for goodness sake!

I am inspired.  I LOVE this time of year.  I love it even more now that I have my own children who find it all so magical.

I want to decorate, bake, shop, craft, entertain, wrap, listen, see, do…

I pulled out my Santa collection before Thanksgiving to get a start on the decor.  We visited Santa, and cut our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.  On Saturday I put the lights on the tree, and the little guy and I hung up the ornaments.

I also put almost all of the Santa’s back into the attic storage.

I am on the search for simplicity and Santa was getting in the way.

I am still inspired.  I still LOVE this time of year.  I’m just going to enjoy it even more without all those Santa’s watching my every move.

home is…the search for simplicity.
