But this year...I have not wanted to decorate. GASP! I know. It's terrible. I want my house to look pretty. I LOVE the way it looked last Christmas. (If you didn't see it, you can see it here.) But every time I decide to climb up in the attic to pull the decorations down, my next thought is, "Eh..." How terrible is that? My children keep asking when we are getting a tree. But I have no desire. I don't want to spend several days putting it all up. And I SURE don't want to spend several days taking it all down. We will be gone out of town twice between now and Christmas. So we wouldn't even get to fully enjoy it. Am I the worst mom ever if I don't decorate? Can we just buy a tree and put it up undecorated? I need some serious motivation here!
I am also stalled out on my Christmas cards. I bought the supplies. We had the picture taken. I even made the list. But that's where I stopped. I have a serious case of the lazies this year!
On the other hand....I am still rocking out the Elf on the Shelf! Here are our last two nights....

I had to MAKE myself put up our tree this year but I can tell you it really put me in the spirit once all was said and done! Maybe if you MAKE yourself do it, it will help :)
I struggled with this same issue last year. I had even less motivation because it is just me- no pressure from kiddos. So I didn't put up a tree and I was okay with it. As much as I love the holidays I think that there is so much pressure associated with them. So, take your time and do what is best for you and your family.
