A little more on Day Six

Consider enlisting family members to help with the decorating process. A word to the wise – only have them help you with what you really want them to do – and don’t change what they do! When I know exactly what I want, I just do it myself. I remember one year when I was a teen, my mom was working more hours that she usually did. She told me I could decorate our home for Christmas. My dad and I went up in the attic to get all the decorations, and decorate I did! The absolute best part of this arrangement was my mom did not change one single thing! I think I grew a few inches taller that Christmas – her confidence in my ability and appreciation for my help instilled a wonderful confidence in me, and I still enjoy decorating!
