December 1.

With the exception of setting up the Christmas tree in its stand, I've been holding off from decorating until December. 

The dining room is a little bit decorated too.

And the best part of Christmas is the Christmas Maya. 

 Tomorrow, I'm going to the farmers market and the Christkindlmarkt to buy an evergreen wreath for the front door, and cute stockings for the fireplace, and probably some more ornaments, because the tree is looking a bit sparse compared to the ornament-packed trees I'm used to, and whatever else strikes me.

I love Christmas.
