My mother came over the other day to drop off a few things that I'd left at their home when I was staying with them. She was appalled by my lack of Christmas decorations, and took it upon herself to remedy that. Now it looks as if my apartment has been bathed in the Christmas spirit. Even my neighbors have commented on the lights that are around all of my windows by saying how nice it looks. It does look nice, and well, it did put me more into the Christmas mood.
