Typically, our family waits until after Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas decorations. But when King of Christmas reached out to me in June about a potential partnership, I couldn’t resist the chance to showcase their stunning selection of artificial Christmas trees , wreaths, and garlands .  I was excited to get an early start on making our home holiday-ready this year!

A Tag and Are YOU It?

I was tagged nearly a week ago by Sherri Jo @ The Adventures of Kitchen Girl. (Sorry it's taken me so long to do this, girl!)

The golden rules of tagging:
# Link to the person who tagged you
# Post the rules on the blog post
# Write six random things about yourself
# Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
# Let the tagger know when your entry is published

Six random things about me:

1. While I love fresh blueberries, I can't bring myself to eat them warm or after they've been baked into something, like muffins or pies or cobblers.

2. My commute to work (one way) consists of walking 3.5 blocks.

3. I prefer chunky peanut butter and butter on my English muffins. The chunkier the peanut butter, the better.

4. I have a Master's degree in Music History.

5. When I was younger, I begged my parents to let me put "tonsils" on the tree come Christmastime.

6. I'm currently reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin.

Tag! You're It.

Jo - It was fun! Once I finally got around to it! ;-)

As for the "tonsils"... When I was younger, I confused the word "tinsle" with "tonsil." So while it sounded like I was some sick twisted child, I really just wanted to put strands of silver all over the tree.

It would be great to live so close to work.. It takes me just about an hour to get to work. Thanks for the tag!

Kevin - My commute used to involve taking a train from Connecticut to New York, so this is much, much better. :)
