Christmas

I'm finally posting pics of my Christmas decor. Better late than never right? I'm warning you now, my photography skills leave a lot to be desired. This is my big tree in the living room.

There's no ribbon or mesh & that's because I completely forgot until I was midway through decorating it. I still like it. Here it is at night.

I know I'm partial but I really love my tree! Especially, at night all lit up. This is the 8th Christmas for this tree. It's 9 ft. & prelit. I know a lot of people complain about problems with their prelit. I LOVE mine. If a light goes out, they don't all go out & you just pop in a replacement. I did something this year that I never do.

I'm not using all of the same paper. I had several different rolls of paper & none were enough to do everything so I decided to suck it up & use all of it & then next year I can go back to matching. I've used up almost all of what I had. I've banned myself from buying any Christmas decor this year. At least before Christmas. I've succeeded for the most part. Here are two exceptions.

I LOVE big ornaments! I got the snowflake & the ornament below at Royal Standard.

Next up is the tree in my breakfast area. This tree is decorated with ornaments that we buy on vacation & I fill in with red, green & silver.

It's hard to get a good pic because it's in the corner. I put the nativity scene on the server in the breakfast area.

I think I'm going to put it on my mantle next year. I'd planned to do that this year & didn't remember until after I'd finished the mantle. I think I need to make notes when I think about this stuff! Part 2 coming up tomorrow.

Toodles!
