The Christmas Spirit

I absolutely love the holiday season! I love to decorate my house and Christmas is my second favorite (fall is still first) holiday to decorate for. I of course put my decorations up the day after Thanksgiving. I'm crazy like that! I am so excited because this year was the first year my wonderful husband agreed to put up lights outside for me. He bought a timer for the Christmas tree and the outside lights so I don't have to rememeber to turn the lights on and off...It is fantastic, I recommend it for everyone. I thought I would share decorating, because I am pretty proud of it. I wish everyone a wonderfully blissful holiday season!

The Christmas tree and my make-shift mantle hidden behind it. The "real" house will house will have a fireplace with a mantle. The wooden snowman off to the side Larry made me.....I need to paint him....



I have bought so much garland...so I tried to use as much as possble. My solution was to wrap the window rods, add origami paper stars garland and hang glass ornaments. I thought it turned out really cute...I am pretty proud of myself!




The stained glass stars on the door were purchased at the annual Christmas At Wings Craft Show. I love that craft show, it is a little crowded but so worth it.



Thanks for the lights, you are the best hubby!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
