Let's Show Some of Our Christmas Decorations

[AngieDoogles]

The first pic is our Christmas tree. This is the first year we've had a full-size tree and we love it! We still use our smaller tree for family ornaments.

The second pics are my sister's Christmas photos that went on Mom's cards. I messed up the lighting on the first one, but I still think the pose is cute so I kept it.

I'm so sorry about your maltese, but I'm glad you got to spend 16 years with him. Chipper belongs to my mom, Forgivenmom5. She is Maltchimom on Maltesetalk if you are a member there.

I really loved seeing everyones decorations. Tomorrow I'm planning on putting mine away. I was going to do that the other day and time has a way of just slipping away. Tomorrow for sure.....I think! LOL

My tree is going to stay up for awhile. I just don't feel like taking it down yet. Besides, I'm going to start babysitting Karlie starting tomorrow and I'm not sure what kind of help I'd have with a 2 1/2 yr. old!!!! I'm looking forward to having her!!

Our tree is still up and probably won't come down until New Year's day or maybe even next weekend. We're still recovering from all the business (that's busyness) of the holidays. There was a lot of intense wrapping, bowmaking, cooking, baking, dishwashing, and spending time with family. We've been to three movie in the past 5 days. Not to mention the usual laundry and such. I go back to work this morning and have 1/2 day off on Wednesday, all day Thursday and back to work on Friday, so somewhere in there we have to find time to take the tree and decorations down and do a good cleaning. We're going to a church New Year's Eve party which should be fun.

Hubby has been working off and on here at home during the festivities drawing house and cabinet plans for the projects he's getting ready to start. He signed two contracts last week and hopefully another this week. We were so worried, but all is working out and his business if picking up finally.

What movies did you see Marilyn? I think Ricky and I are gong to go see Marley and Me. I read the book and the reviews say it's very good.

We're getting ready to leave for our second movie in two days. We're taking my brother Randy to see Despereaux. He LOVES going to the theater so we bought him gift certificates for Christmas. I also got my hubby some gift certificates as well and we saw Valkyrie. What have you seen so far? We still have enough left for one more movie. Any suggestions?

Okay, I got a picture of our tree this year with my new camera and our Christmas card holder

[Janet]

OOOHHHH your tree is really pretty pope, I love the tree skirt too. I've never seen a card holder like that....I want one now...lol.

[DianaB]

Your tree is very beautiful, Pope!!! And I love the card holder too. I need to find something like that to display my cards too. We get so many photo cards anymore that it would be nice to display them.

We took our tree down yesterday because we're having company over tonight for New Year's Eve and there will be small children. We figured that it would help the night to go better with it down and the ornaments put away.

[AngieDoogles]

Becky, your tree is beautiful! We are taking ours down today. This year was definitely one of my favorite Christmases. It will be sad to take down the last of the decorations.

[Marilyn]

I think ours will be coming down this afternoon, too. All in all, this was one of the best Christmases too, and it is hard to say goodbye.

[AngieDoogles]

At least we have a new year of holidays to look forward to. Maybe this year will be even better!
