Christmas at the Home

I decided to hang lights the other day. So, I put on my work clothes, old pants and a tank top. Believe it or not I was burning up trying to get those little lights in the right place. My neighbor suggested I climb on the roof, but I thought a balancing act with the kitchen step stool worked way better.

I love the way the house just glows with Christmas! I would leave lights up all year long...but then I really don't want to be that neighbor.
After all the decorating at the club and the extremely long line at Garden Ridge. I decided my card tree would be all the Christmas tree we would have this year. I was surprised at how I really didn't mind not putting up a tree. Please notice I only have two Christmas cards on my little tree so far...humm. Have you sent out your Christmas cards yet?

My little Santa collection.

I love my sled! Maybe someday it will get recommissioned.

My advent calendar from Julie is one of my favorite Christmas decorations this year. I can't wait to fill it with little goodies and notes someday. I would do it now but Hub really wouldn't be that excited about it.
Not really a Christmas decoration, but also a favorite this season...my chandelier! Okay it is small and not too fancy, but it was the right size and I have been wanting to put a light there for almost three years. We drilled a whole in the top shelf then again in another cabinet so that the cord is complete concealed. I love it!!

Merry Christmas to all!
