Ready to Entertain

Last weekend we went to Pier 1 to try to find a few small tchotchke-like objects with which to decorate our house for Christmas. Last year I was working 6 days a week, we had just moved, Brian had broken his wrist and suffered from mono, and so we let our first Christmas together kind of slide by. We made up for it by buying each other lavish gifts.

This year I am bound and determined to decorate and to entertain. I have begun "Project Forced Merriment," in which I am aggressively cheerful and jolly, and I force others to follow suit, like it or not.

On our trip we found a dining room table we loved, that was marked down, and, thanks to the gift card my sister gave us LAST Christmas, that we could afford. And so, we bought it. The nice boy at the store ordered it for us, and we picked it up tonight. I bought some tchotchke-like objects to place on it, and now we are SO ready for guests for the holidays. I also picked up a copy of Amy Sedaris’ I Like You to give me some entertaining ideas:
