This year while David and I were decorating for Christmas and listening to all my favorite Christmas songs, it made me a little sad. I mean I love my husband more then anything and I loved that he helped me decorate, but I did miss my decorating days with my palace mates.
For those who don’t know, my palace mates are the people I lived with in college. We rented a house and we called it the palace. It had 6 bedrooms (which were all huge, except Brittany’s, haha), 1 office, 1 den, 4 full bathrooms, and one kitchen. It was the perfect college house and we loved it. Anyways, decorating for Christmas was an all night event at the palace. We would crank up the Christmas music, run around the house decorating and singing at the top of our lungs and then when Brit wasn’t looking we would grab some tinsel off the tree, since you couldn’t see anything but the tinsel. And when we got finished we usually finished it with a little good ole’ karaoke singing.
It was my most favorite time in the palace. Even though we didn’t have the best decorations AT ALL because we were poor college students, it was still was the best looking decorations, at least at a college house.
So Brit, Lauren and Cait I would have given anything to go back to the palace this year and decorated the house together one more time.

Aww, I just saw this. It made my heart melt. I always loved decorating too...even though it would be like mid Oct. when we would do it...b/c we wanted to fully enjoy it since we got out so early for Christmas Break. Ahhh, the good ole days...and Laura, I know what you mean a/b getting a little sad...I do the same thing and no one really understands why...I love and miss my Palace Mates...well, the cool ones at least. :)
