I'm THANKFUL that I can go ahead and decorate for CHRISTMAS in November. This is early for me. I noticed the Christmas decoration were already hung on the street lamps downtown. Took me by surprise. A nice sight to see.
One of our Grands called and asked if we had an extra Christmas tree she could use to decorate her bedroom with.
Yes, we do. Plus ornaments, lights, beads and an angel tree topper. She was so excited, it made my heart sing. Today after we made our grocery stop, we dropped the Christmas items off for her. She'd get the tree decorated before we left town. She sent a picture of it and she really did a nice job decorating this little tree. Look beautiful.
Puts me in the mood to decorate my own HOME. I've never had my tree up so early in the year as I will this year. Pat myself on the back time. It will be wonderful to have decorated early. When I was in the basement yesterday eyeballing what we have in Christmas decor, thoughts began turning. I believe I want to decorate early.
It won't happen this year because the screened in porch is under construction, but next year I hope to set up 8 Christmas trees of various heights in the screened in porch making a Christmas forest of trees. All lit with twinkling lights, fake snow and Christmas music playing. I can see it in my head. I have to be patient and wait another year before having this.
I'll run the vacuum this week-end and dust all the furniture before getting the main Christmas tree out. This is a great time to dust the window blinds as I shuffle the Living room furniture making a place for the tree. The NATIVITY SCENE will be in the Dining room. I think the front door wreaths and a fluffy garland will outline the doors. Garland along the stair rail. Santas or Nutcrackers on the stairs. Christmas Ham and Turkey in the freezer. Christmas Cards and letters.
Christmas Eve is Hubbys' 66th Birthday. German Chocolate Cake a must.
Praise the Lord, CHRISTMAS is the most wonderful time of the year. I am thankful I have had a lifetime of Christmases. Sweet memories. Sweet, sweet memories. Making new memories on the Prairie.

Hi Deanna! I really enjoyed all the lovely pictures you posted. I hope you thoroughly enjoy every minute of the Christmas season this year-I think your idea of decorating early is great for lifting spirits in these uncertain times. Maybe you'll be able to create some of the looks that you shared by using the battery operated tea lights and pillars-it'll be pretty without the fire hazard. You have so many wonderful ideas, and I look forward to seeing pictures of your lovely home when you finish decorating.

Hello Joan. So glad you came by to visit. I need to get more of the battery operated candles. I have some in the entryway and Dining room right now and use them often. They are wonderful.
May you have a blessed day,
