'Tis the Season!

With one more day to American Thanksgiving, Christmas is just around the corner!  I am planning on hitting the Black Friday sales to finish my Christmas shopping.  Yes, I am planning on being one of the crazies to line up at BestBuy...

It is time to Deck the Halls, start taping those Christmas shows and trimming the tree!  I am a Christmas keener and have pulled out my tree.  I HATE the way it looks though and am contemplating redoing it.  My tree is a $48 Walmart pre-lit special.  It isn't a bad tree but I have had it for several years and am ready to move to a bigger and better tree.  It seems teeny tiny in my space since the tree is 6.5 feet and my ceilings are 9 feet.

My more pressing Christmas concern at the moment is candles.  I am looking for some amazing Christmas candles, ideally in red that are festive, pretty and interesting to look at and smell of Christmas, ideally cinnamon.  The best ones I have found so far are at Pier 1.
