This week, Chris and I decided to forget that we're far away from our family, friends, and holiday traditions and recreate one tradition in our tropical home: decorating for Christmas the week after Thanksgiving.
So, we decided to hang the Christmas lights that we received last year around a doorway in our house, and adorn it with all the cards we have from last year. Then, we spent an evening making ourselves some Santa hats, and a wreath, complete with berries.
And finally, we donned our hats for the Marsh family holiday card picture taking. It was really exciting, I tell you!
There is something about a string of Christmas lights. When the sun sets and the multi-colored lights bounce off the windows, I can't begin to describe how homey and happy and holiday-magic it makes me feel. There's this warmth that that little string of light spreads.
So, officially welcome, dear holiday season, to Cambodia.
When did you decorate for the holidays?
