It's covered in bright red berries, and it should be hanging on our front door by now, but I can't find the box that we packed it in last winter. Have you seen it? Do you know where I should look? I THOUGHT all of our Christmas boxes made it into the same storage closet in the garage, but apparently not. I'm trying to get started on decorations, but I keep thinking about how much I want to put the wreath up, and it's distracting me.
In my search for the aforementioned wreath, I've riffled through our entire garage, our linen closet, both guest rooms, and I *think* the whole basement. All the boxes that looked wreath-sized or bigger, anyway. It didn't occur to me that while conducting my search I would come across anything I wasn't SUPPOSED to find, but I think I did. I found a large box, roughly the size and shape of an item on my Christmas wish list. It was wrapped, so I don't KNOW what it is, but I think I have a pretty good idea.
I won't say what I think it is, nor will I be opening it before Christmas. I like making myself wait for presents - that way things get stretched out as long as possible, because I have all the excitement of waiting for them, and then finally the excitement of unwrapping them and getting to use/wear/appreciate them.
I'm not upset that I found my present (I might've been upset if it had just been lying around unwrapped), but FYI: if it's hidden in our house, I'll probably find it. Unless you hide it in the crawlspace (not a good idea, it's super creepy in there), or...hmm...maybe in the file cabinet. Or the waaay back of Brett's closet where I can't reach, or under all the old discarded packaging waste in our garage.
And now it's time for dinner, so I'm going to go. Mmm...crunch patties...
