Preparing for Christmas

Inasmuch as I would like to blog about TSO, I will save that for another day. I have had this blog in my head for a week now, I just don't take the time anymore to write. For the most part I believe that I am done decorating for Christmas with what little I have anymore.
I always liked a fuller tree, I blame that on my Mother. She worked at Kohls and one year I remember she had a tree that you would find in a Good Housekeeping magazine.

I am not one for colored bulbs, or whatever they are called. Although I do have some, they are unique. One looks like cracked class, one had glitter in it. I try to find things that when the light hits them, they sparkle. Then I have one that look like they could be homemade. I have ribbon around the tree as opposed to garland. I used to do raffia for a more country look, but that got messy, and I could never find any long enough to where it would fall apart every two feet. So this is the final result.

I used to have a village, but I just don't have any place for it. Back when I had a huge tv stand, but now with the flat screen, there is no room. So I am left with one stand of decor. Various snowmen. a nativity scene. Angels.

My decor that was outside eventually gave out. I do not have lights out this year because we didn't get them up before it got cold. I am not even sure if they work.

So I guess I am prepared for Christmas, decor wise. It is 10 days till Christmas and nothing else is done. Got to get a few more items for the kids then we will be done.

Merry Christmas.
