Let the seasonal stuff begin!!


  • Snoopy lights and Snoopy decorations up in the bathroom (yes--I have a decorated bathroom. /-: )

  • The very tall Hanukkah bush Christmas tree is standing proudly in the livingroom, lit up like the Los Vegas strip! Wooooohoooo!

  • Garland hung on 2 of the livingroom walls--bows and bells and lights attached. Looks good, dangit!

  • Poster covered with gold gift wrap so it looks like a giant prezzie on the coffee nook wall. *laughing* Looks like some ancient Perkins decoration so I'm good with it.

  • Bitty bulbs in gold and red hanging from the light in the coffee nook--DEFINITELY looks like Perkins material. *snickering*

  • Oh, let's not forget the red table cloth and red/gold place mats atop the table. Eatcher heart out Perkins! Pffffffffttttt! LOLOL

Yeahyeah......now, where was I....



  • Flickery candle lights attached to the street facing windows and......flickering! This would be my attempt to be a minimalist......which, given the above, obviously failed. :-P

  • Sooooo--24 holiday cards now completed! I'll wash the glue off the place mats another time.

  • Pooping penguiny guy proudly sitting on the endtable-- filled with jelly beans. *snickering* I love that little fella!

  • Holiday candles set out and lit. Well......they were lit until I left the livingroom. He-who-is-candlephobic blew 'em out. *rolling eyes*

  • Four boxes of 'stuff' stacked by the wall awaiting further instructions.

Oh, and that's just the inside!


I really was trying for the 'minimal approach'.
I thought I'd convinced he-who-climbs-ladders-to-point-light-bulbs-in-one-direction that 'less' was better given his joints have been bothering him.
And then.......holiday music got put on the CD player......


Sleighbells ring......are ya listenin'
In the lane......snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight....we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland.

Yeahyeah.......I'll hold the ladder. I'm good at that. ;-)

I can just about feel your enjoyment in your words.

Picture this: It's 7.24pm as I write this, the sun is still up and will be for a while yet, the sky is a egg-shell blue with just a few wispy while clouds, no need for flickery lights here. It's quite warm, well hot actually... I WANT A COLD/WHITE CHRISTMAS just like the ones in story books ;-)

Now how about some photos so we can see it for ourselves. Sounds amazing. Diane

Yeah, photos would be good. Gosh, you're early with the decorations. I haven't even acknowledged the time of year yet. I'll go and sort the cupboards.
