Christmas Decorating

Our Christmas tree

The Manger...if you look real close you can see our cat Criddle in this picture.

Some of my Santas.

Snowmen

Some more of my Santas. The sleigh and the reindeer in this picture my Dad made.


I remember, as a child, my Mom & Dad took every nic-nac down and the entire house turned into this beautiful home-that you could just feel the spirit of Christmas. I always loved it...I would just sit in the living room with the lights out and just enjoy it.

Once I am finished, with my decorating, I enjoy just sitting and enjoying it. I love Christmas music. I like everything to be complete, by the day after Thanksgiving, so I can enjoy every minute of the Christmas season.

I even put small, decorated trees in, in all of our bedrooms. The boys have had trees in their rooms since they were born. We also have a "Sports" tree. I have tried to give the boys a sports related ornament every year since they were born, my parents have given them an ornament every year also, so when they are grown and go off on their own they can take them with them.

I also got my decorations up this past weekend. We started back to work today after a week off. It will be fun to go home today to a festive (and hopefully still clean house) I love your decorations!
