Favorite Christmas Decoration

We don't have many Christmas decorations at my house. We put up a tree and a few candy canes outside, but that's all. Granted, my favorite decoration is not at my house. This magnificent decoration is at my grandma's house and is lovingly referred to as the upside down tree.

This tree is literally upside, hence the name. I've always been a fanatic about different/ weird things and since I was little, this tree has always caught my eye. I love it. It's very simple; it's simplicity is what makes it my favorite. It always hangs right above my grandmother's chair and is up all year round, except it's bagged and unlit. It's only around three feet tall, there are no ornaments on it, just colored lights.

I've never known why exactly I do like this tree, it's just that every time I think about my grandparent's house, it's what I think about - the first thing my brain imagines. This fall, me and some of my grandparents went to the Christmas store in Santa Claus, Indiana and there was a HUGE upside down tree. It had ornaments and was probably professionally decorated, but it came no where near the beauty of my grandma's upside down tree.

This picture is of an upside down tree, made on paint by me because I could not find one when I searched Google that would do my grandma's tree justice. (:

Presents That I Want

A few years ago, I really wanted the first season of the Golden Girls. The next year, I got the second season, and so on and so forth. Right now I have every season of the Golden Girls except for ONE. One lousy season and my whole collection is ruined. It breaks my heart. So, for this year, I really hope that my mom is able to find my missing season, I do believe it is the sixth, but I'm not a hundred percent sure. We have looked everywhere and are unable to find it. So that is my Christmas wish. I hope it comes true.

Books A Million Adventure that Led Us to "Patty's Bar" AKA Kelsey's House

Last night, me, Stacie, Alyssa, and Emily all went to Books A Million. After dress rehearsal for the play, I went to pick up Stacie while Emily went to get Alyssa. We all met up at BAM and loitered for a while and then found the games there. That was pretty interesting but we found Apples to Apples and started talking about how cool it would be to go back to someone's house and play a game. So Alyssa said that her step-mom had the game. So she called the called her and her step-mom, wonderful woman that she is, allowed us to borrow the game. So I had to take Alyssa to get the game and Emily and Stacie had to go to Target because Emily had to pick up some socks.

So we leave. The store that is. Because the car wouldn't start. So that was pretty amazing. So I call my mom, and she's like, "Keep trying." And I'm like, "Well, I am." Really, I'm sitting here with Alyssa and the car won't start, you don't think I'm trying? Then, I decide to call my papaw, the mechanic. He says he will be there in a bit. So while I'm still trying to start the car, I tell Alyssa to call Emily to tell her that we will be fairly late. Emily, GENIUS that she is, told me to turn the wheel and try it. Lo and behold, IT WORKED! I could hear the "Hallelujah" chorus in the background.

Finally, we got to my house and started to play Apples to Apples. Alyssa and Stacie decided to call their grandparents/ parents (respectively). When Alyssa tells her grandpa where she is, her grandpa can't understand, "Kelsey's house" and thought she was saying, "Patty's Bar". So now my house is Patty's bar. But last night was loads of fun and I hope all of us get to do it again soon.
