We spent a good part of the weekend putting up Christmas decorations. The boys are away next weekend, Thanksgiving is late, and we had good weather on Saturday to do a few of the outside tasks. On Saturday, we hung stars across the whole front porch. 3 strands with green, red, and blue looks very pretty twinkling out there. Donnie put up new white hooks for me, and hanging the stars went smoothly. Then, the boys and I got out the nutcracker and snowglobe collections. I laid a thin piece of wood on the hearth and then some green fabric and multicolor LED icicle lights as a foundation for the nutcrackers. We used a snowflake tablecloth and some LED snowflakes for the snowglobe base. Today, Donnie put up our new LED multicolor or clear artificial tree. We got a good deal on it from Home Depot and are pleased. I felt very lucky that he set it up and fluffed out all the branches while the boys and I put out my snowman collection. We had Christmas music playing and had a good time putting ornaments on the tree. Donnie and I prefer the multicolor but Joey is liking the transition back and forth between multicolor and white. We put some of our Hallmark ornaments on but not so many that I will be spending hours reboxing. We also put on some glitterly white ornaments and an assortment of red and blue bulbs long with some fun plastic shapes. Watching Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas by treelight as I type this:-)
Next weekend we'll mow the yard and swap Tom the Turkey for the Christmas inflatables.
I also intend to get a family photo in front of the tree for our Christmas card this week.
