Welcome back to the What have you advent calendar.

December 2nd. Number 2, behind the number 2 door.

Today we're going to give our best tips. No we're not we're giving a tip one on it's not our best. This is just nothing compared to the tips that are coming before on decorating all that. We're gonna say one thing. We're saying something guys. We're not

rating it. It could be good. It could be bad. This is a tip that I read years and years ago and I believe

a Susan Branch Christmas cookbook which was that like handwritten

I think I still had that great I think I might have it Christmas it might be Christmas from the heart of the home

something like that.

Chris is.

Anyway, it's a, uh, in that book.

But I remember something that she says in the end that it and I was like,

this is a great theme, is make everything in your home that shines shiny

like dust everything and I mean like this is the Christmas prep that is get the dead bugs out of the lights like

Get the like shine the stuff if it's glass make it sparkle if it's it's looking dreary and I actually think that this is a thing

long out of theory that I want it's like you can see into the soul of a home because I can't tell how do you know when there are not

desponies under a bed but you it feels pressure it actually feels different in the room and I think that when you do this when you go around and

shine up everything that can be shiny and dust everything and make it like I mean like

pictures that are on the wall shine the glass make it

shine. Get the windex out exactly but there's a layer underneath that is that you feel anticipation like it's getting ready for something because

that kind of like that readiness is like we've noticed everything we've spiffed stuff up we're doing the thing is I mean I assume you're

going to be bringing in some sparkly lights somewhere they're going to be on the

Christmas tree or whatever but the lighting when you decorate for Christmas, it is just different

and that's part of the fun of it.
