Decorating My Computer Desk for the Holidays…

October 14, 2007

Now that I have my holiday books pretty much in order, I am going to tell you about something I have been doing for the last few years…

Since I have my own computer desk space… which no one else has to share with me… I decorate my computer area for the different holidays. It isn’t anything elaborate like putting up a Christmas tree, coloring Easter eggs, or placing dry ice in a cauldron… It’s something a lot easier than all of that.

Now that both of our children are adults, I don’t get out all of our different holiday decorations anymore. I would, if I thought that they might enjoy them… let alone notice them! Actually, when my daughter is home, she notices (and seems to enjoy) the things I put out around the house. But now that she is at college pretty much all of the time, I decorate a lot less. (As for my son, I don’t think that he notices what or when I put things out around the house!) When they are both home I do actually “holidize” our house, but, the rest of the time, I simply decorate my computer desk and put up a few magnets on the refrigerator. (I have cross stitched many seasonal magnets using Mill Hill beads…)

Anyway… my computer desk has the above-the-desk-top tier of compartmentalized shelves. The shelf areas are where I put my reusable 3-D holiday stickers. They aren’t like the flimsy stickers that are made to go on a piece of paper, they are made out of some type of poster board which is thick and more stable, with some lamination-type of substance and they have small sticky pads on the back. I use several packages of the stickers so that my desk area is truly a holiday area for me…

Right now I have my Jolee’s Boutique Halloween  stickers up. I will leave them up until the first of November… at which time I will put up my Thanksgiving stickers… (not this particular Jolee’s Boutique set, but I couldn’t highlight the sets that I have…) At the beginning of December I get out all of my Christmas stickers, which are from a lot of different sources. I especially like my Holly Wreath, Poinsettias, and Christmas Lights.  

Maybe all of these 3-D stickers on my computer desk are simply a return to the bulletin boards that I used to enjoy putting up when I taught school. (And then as a volunteer in my children’s’ classes.) Or maybe they are just a way to add more clutter to my already cluttered desk! Either way….. I enjoy looking up from my key board and seeing something other than the innumerable reminder lists that I write to myself!
