Yes, it’s no wonder people start decorating early for the holidays. How on earth do we find the time to add additional must do’s to an already mega full life? While having guests come for parties, dinners, and visits is a good reason to push ourselves into getting those to-do lists out of the way, do we really help ourselves in the long run? Or, are we happy when it’s all over? I’m sure that is a purely personal question. Here’s another thought, if the bills are paid and money isn’t a problem, imagine how fantastic it would be to decorate and have folks over. If the bills aren’t paid and you need to decide whether to pay the rent or buy a tree (they are almost that expensive any more) it might be a bit more stressful than it is uplifting to decorate for the holidays.
There are many directions to come from when discussing decorating for the holidays….religious, economic, traditional….I have a friend who decorated for Christmas a month ago. She adores doing it and gets a thrill out of decorating with her little girl.
As in all things, we should never feel pressured by family, friends, or religious organizations to do the things that are intended for our most private and intimate affairs. While we all are part of the human race and members of the Cosmic Consciousness, we each have our own essence and must maintain that we are each here for our individual experience.
