Decorations

So love seeing everyone's pictures of their decorations and those in the stores.  I just love decorations anyway.  One of the best things about Chistmas is all the lovely colors, lights and ornaments.  I would love to buy so many but, of course, that's not practical.  I didn't notice after having all (I thought) I am missing my little snowmen.  Three little guys I used to sit in front of my computer.  I don't remember even seeing the box when getting out all the other decorations.  Now that is going to bother me until the tree is taken down and put away so I can see if they're still there.

I did come across some I never use and one that has never been opened.  Donated them to the Moose for raffles to benefit the kids parties.    We were there when they went and I had to laugh.  One fellow said this was his wife's present for the year.  Now it was cute, but I think he had better rethink that, lol.  Seems like we cut back on decorating every year.  I suppose everyone does sooner or later.  You accumulate so much until it gets to be overwhelming to put it all out.  Like I've said before, Jack even wants to downsize the tree, and a number of friends and relatives have done just that this year.  I suppose I'll give in sooner or later.  Trying for the later, ;-).

Have a good day.
Merry Christmas.

  1. It's an effort for me to decorate this year. So at Christmas when daughter is here, I'm going to tell her to tell me what she wants of decorations - if any. Then I'll box them up and give them to her. We slowly have to downsize here. You are right - we all go thru that soon or later.

  2. HI Love your decorations here! Yes we as a family went from real tree to 6ft then 7 ft with lights and then down to 4ft on a table that came with lights. Two pieces to put together was so much less hassle. Did have a ton of Christmas lights and such to get rid of though..mostly donated them. My little tree has most of what is left of our home tree decorations and that isn't much. Going to post a pic of it soon.. Hope your weekend is a good one!

  4. I gave away a ton of Christmas stuff before I moved. Before Jim got sick he decorated the house inside and out from top to bottom. There was no way I could keep all of that.

  5. I love o see people's decorations too! It's really nice to see even those that are abroad putting things up that are so wonderful. They actually had solar decorations this year...too bad they were so expensive because it would have been nice to put those up and not have to deal with extensions cords etc.
