A DEBBIE-DABBLE CHRISTMAS: December 2018

Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

Today, I will be taking you on a Tour of our townhouse decorated for Christmas, room by room and I will be revealing how many decorated Trees I have for this holiday Season!!!!

I read a post the other day where the author complained that it took her 4 days to decorate!!!!

I laughed!!!

HYSTERICALLY!!!!!

People often ask me how long it takes for me to decorate my entire house.....

Now I have to say that I not only pack up all my normal everyday things but I also clean them so that I will not have to do it when I unpack them to put them back out.

I also give each room a good cleaning so that all I do is dust with Swifter dusters for the rest of the Holiday Season.....

Well, here is the breakdown:

Upstairs Hallway: 1 day
Upstairs Bathroom: 1 day
Master Bedroom: 1-2 days
Sitting Room: 2-3 days
Craft Room: 2 -3 days
Front of the House: 2-3 days
Living Room: 4 days
Dining Room: 2-3 days
Kitchen: 2 days
Powder Room: 1-2 days
Den: 2-3 days
Doll House: 1 day

So it takes me roughly 25 days!!!!!

I start the upstairs in September right after I finish decorating the downstairs for Fall and Halloween and I am finished with the upstairs by the end of October.....

I start taking down Fall and Halloween on November 1st and start decorating for Christmas as soon as Fall and Halloween are all packed up!!

Keep in mind that I still work........3 days one week and 4 days the other week.......7 days in a 2 week pay period!!!!

We will start the Tour outside of our townhouse........

This is the view from our 2 parking spaces in front of our house.....

You have to walk up 13 steps to get to the sidewalk that runs in front of our row of 10 townhouses.....

When you get to the top of the steps, this is what you see.......

Our front porch......

I am pretty much going to let the pictures do the talking in this post except for counting the decorated Christmas Trees........
