Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

We have several trees up now. Here is the Victorian tree in my bedroom.





I love the ornaments on this tree.





The angel at the top is just perfect for this tree.





This is the tree I have on the server in my dining room.




This next tree was to be my Key West tree, but I did not have enough tropical ornaments. Since I couldn't really justify purchasing a lot of new tropical ornaments, I picked up some inexpensive small ornaments to adorn it until I can get the ones I really want. I think it looks nice next to my china cabinet.





I wish I had the time and energy to get all my holiday decorating done at one time, but since I really have an over-abundance of Christmas decorations, I must do it in stages. Here is a little snowman collection.




And a favorite of Rachel's each year, her Barbie carousel that plays a variety of traditional Christmas carols.






I have one gigundo container left to go through and this is a good one, full of little elves, adorable misteltoes (wait till you see that), angels, and other fun things I've been accumulating for years. I just love Christmas decorations. They are fun to have around me and fun to share with you!!

Tomorrow after work I need to bake and finalize the pictures I will be including in the scrapbook I am working on for my brother. And I have jewelry, jewelry, jewelry to make. So much to do, but I just love this time of year and everything that goes into making it a special time for one and all.

I put my tree up today. It's small so it doesn't take much time to decorate it.

I'm going to Wal-Mart and see about a table top tree.


Ciao

I would love to have a little tree in my bedroom but there simply isn't enough room in there, sweetpea!! BUT I love the ornies on that tree. Of course, Miss Rachel would love the carousel as she is a sweetheart.
Smooches for her please,

Hi Joyce! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments..
yeah, ankles can be a bit of a drag, can't they? Thanks for the advice--I am doing what my PT tells me to do.
Your home is lovely--I especially love the Victorian Tree--my favorite style!
