FINALLY a new post.. Inspired by Tiff!!

K.. this should be one of two birthday posts.. I KNOW! I KNOW!

BUT its not..

I was remembering Tiff's awesome post about her Christmas decor..

Though mine is nothing exciting, I thought I would share..

(Oh, and I seem to be experiencing some kinds of camera difficulties, of course.. So excuse the quality of some of these..)


Main Tree

When I was little, my parents started giving my sister & I ornaments every year..

This (I believe) is my first one..
Dated 1975
1976
(I've always loved this one)

To embarrass myself, and what I loved
Yes.. Its a Smurf ornament
1981
(really.. what rings in the holidays better than a Smurf??)

Yes, its a silver tree..
I realize its a little "Grandma-ish" but I love it..

Also known as our DISNEY tree..
Yep.. ALL Disney ornaments..

This probably wins as the "Weirdest" Disney ornament..
Its the Scar mask from "Lion King"
(bought this in New York last year, after seeing the show)
I have the Simba mask, but Scar really wreaks of holiday spirit, I think..
A really blurry picture of one of the many Mickeys on said tree..
(from World of Disney in NYC)
hard to tell, but this is large, like 8-10 inches across..


^^BEST decoration money every spent..

The girls still play with it..
(I have to arrange it daily..)


I wish I, like Tiff, had a photo of my Christmas cards ready to go.. I REALIZE that its December 23rd.. They're ALMOST done..

Not me. We are doing New Years cards. Love the nativity (hmmm.. I wonder why?) And I love the stockings, again I wonder why? Cute pics. I really should post something. :)

I love my little people nativity, too. and it's so fun, because all the other little people can come visit, too. we've had the seal from the zoo there..... and the bus driver...... the lion occasionally visits...

I have totally lost my baby Jesus in that nativity. We have no idea where it is at.:( Sad I know.!!!!
