I thought by now I’d at least have one tree up – but this weekend was more about sitting by the fire and reading (and doing the afore mentioned candy cane dippage). We did get the decorations down from the attic and put up our outdoor decorations. Mama tree and her baby (ignore the cord attaching the two, baby tree is still very much attached to mama’s apron strings).
I bought those two trees at the grocery store the week after Christmas a couple of years ago. They were blowing out all their Christmas decor so they were a steal. They twinkle very appealingly too – not an off/on sort of twinkling – REAL twinkling.
Next weekend one of the trees will go up in the house and the mantels will be decorated. Thanksgiving came a little earlier this year so it seems like everyone has their decorations all up already. Last night I was asked ‘if it was even worth it to decorate this late in the game." ~ I had to remind them it was ONLY December 3rd.
I was trying to place the outdoor trees so they are visible from the street, as you come down the driveway and from the house. Oh, and there has to be a power source somewhat nearby. Unfortunately the only room you can see them from is our bedroom but it sure is pretty driving up to the house. You can see our neighbor has their lights up already.
So next weekend I’ll have more pictures to post. Until then ~ be glad these people aren’t your neighbors (audio warning – if you are at work…).
