Christmas!

I spent most of last weekend decorating for Christmas with my boyfriend. It was super-exciting and no one killed anyone, even after stops at Target, Michael's, and the liquor store with the crazy rush of holiday shoppers. I posted some pics below of what we did.


The tree - I can't take any credit for this, as the Blexican put up all the ornaments. It's beautiful and every night I come home and sit in front of it and dream about Christmas.

Okay, boyfriend thought this thing was weird and gave me *major* side-eye when I picked it up, but it might be my favorite Christmas decoration. It's a cute little snowman and with the lights off, all lit up, it looks adorbz.

A black angel because I'm black and tend to buy black things. I don't know why, but the Michael's in Daly City was FULL of black Santas and angels. I didn't think there was a large number of black people out there. My mom says, and I quote "that shit is probably left over from last year and it didn't sell." Hahaha. No clue why it was there, but I enjoyed the selection.

I did a bunch more decorating, but figured I'd just show a few pics. I am absolutely obsessed with the Christmas season and I'm excited I get to go home every night to a decorated living room. It makes SF feel more like home.

I haven't been blogging properly recently over work, so I've been doing the majority of it through my phone.

I came online tonight, and saw your pictures, no wait, your first blog pictures!

Your decorations are so cute! Hopefully we'll see more pictures soon (and my comments will shorten also!)
