Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree.

Oh how I love to have a tree in my home.  There is just something about it standing there with all its lights.  I got a new tree this year and it makes me so happy.  It has lights!  I really hate to put the lights on and take them off.  So now I can just enjoy putting the decorations on and I'm loving it.  So here it is...

 I purchased a few new things for the tree this year.  I got the new burlap ribbon with the deer on it.  Also, the red and black check ribbon that I made into bows.  I think they added alot to the look.

Nothing like snuggling up by the fire with the Christmas tree lights on.

  Oh I love this time of year!  I better get a fire built.

My Christmas tree

What a crazy time of year. But, I love it. There seems to be no time but all I want is time to enjoy the season. The tree is up and decorated Yay! I did things a little different this year. I didn't put any ribbon. It was actually an accident I just forgot, but I like it for a change. Here she is...

Off to do more shopping. Almost done. How about you?

Christmas Mantel #1

I am slowly getting Christmas out. The mantel's are always first here at our house.
So here is mantel #1.
Do you Believe? I got this at Tia Pan two years ago. I don't know why but I love it.

Now ask me why my stockings are not hung in the middle of the mantel, go ahead ask me...well, because we use this fireplace alot, and my husband thinks it is a fire hazard. It is a gas fireplace...I don't know, I just do what I am told. He is usually right about these things.

The santa was given to us by some friends and the berries are some I already had. No, nothing new this year.
These three little bears sit on the hearth, had them forever too.
So there she is, mantel #1. I'll be working on mantel #2 today. Can't wait to see everyone's Christmas mantel's.
