Deck the Halls

I was wondering the other day if it is possible to enjoy Christmas and decorating for Christmas without the cold. When we were in Cambodia for Christmas and it was 95 degrees outside and I felt zero interest in decking the halls. I had packed two tubs of Christmas decorations and brought along small lighted trees, but had no Christmas spirit encouraging me to pull them out and put them up.

This year I am freezing and not loving it, but I feel the Christmas spirit. What do you think? Is it possible to enjoy Christmas and decorating for Christmas without the cold? If so, where? I'd like to live there.

Here are a few of the Christmas decorations in the home we are staying in this year.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la


Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.


See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.


Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.


Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 Just Sheri, decking the halls (in spite of the cold - or maybe because of it)
