Out of the boxes come colorful stockings, beautiful (and some cheesy) ornaments, holiday scented candles, snowmen mugs, and more.
And then the nutcracker came out. I don't love nutcrackers. I never enjoyed the ballet/movie. I don't know, I think Macaulay Culkin kind of freaked me out...and it was really boring. Anyway, a blue nutcracker was taken out of a bin. I mentioned to Megan and Melissa that I don't love them, but we can totally put it out because it's Megan's, and throughout the evening we had picked up the "there's nothing horrible about Christmas decorations" mantra (which I don't think any of us really believe, by the way).
The nutcracker was placed on a bookshelf. Ornaments continued to find their perfect places on the tree. And then it happened. He fell off the shelf. Now he is decapitated. I wasn't too sad. Nutcrackers are as close to horrible Christmas decorations as possible. But if he reappears with super-glue, it will be okay.
P.S. I didn't do it.
Haha! That's so sad! I have mine sitting on the table. Did you see it last week? Did it creep you out?
