Sending Holiday Cheer,

My family has already received our Christmas cards so I thought I’d share the picture we included along with it. =)

Here is our card from last year, appropriately titled “Jolly old Saint Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!” Check it out, christmas card 2007

Silver and gold decorations on ev’ry Christmas tree,

….but upon closer inspection, we found it to be a little boring so we threw in some red decorations as well and viola! We bought our tree only a week ago since last year, right after Thanksgiving, we had eagerly set out to get it and by Christmas it was ready for tree heaven. Nice watering job Babes! =/ This year though, I have been very vigilant in it’s care…by being more optimistic, hooray!

Home Holidays & Traditions

A seasonal store that specializes in collectibles, handcrafted one-of-a-kind ornaments, personalized stockings and complimentary personalization of ornaments.

I happened to stop (more like, skidded to a halt) at this store last weekend and couldn’t help oggling the beautiful Christmas displays. Some might say the trees are overdone but I personally would rather have an over-the-top-all-fancy-like tree than a barren one, see for yourself.

Calm down you minimalists, ugly and barren is not to be mistaken for those wanting a nice and simple look: a few strategically placed lights and ornaments is acceptable and therefore can still be considered….not ugly. =D

I love all the different kinds of snowflakes, I’ll have to incorporate them somehow into the tree next year.

I love almost everything in this store. =/

An underwater theme, what an absurdly ingenious spectacle.

Stargazing =d

This Christmas tree looks magnificent reaching the equally attractive colored glass dome ceiling

The Christmas display is simply astounding; you have a small village at the base of the trunk, two Santas rounding out the middle (as they surely are quite round in the middle), a delightful host of Christmas characters set into the main part of the tree, and a lovely snow globe topper.

The charming Christmas figures,

Some more neat-o decorations: the snow flakes projected on the wall is pretty darn cool and so is the lighted skybridge.

” Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.”

I just wanted to share a few Christmas creations I’ve put together, I’ve been trying to channel Martha Stewart although I feel somewhat dirty when I do. =/ Anyhow, I wish I had someone to get excited with over Christmas decorating, my sister use to fill that spot but she’s probably back home creating her own showpiece with her rotating tree…lol, yep, I said rotating; I’ll have to have her send a video clip of it so I can check it out in action…ahaha. So what would my Christmas trimming tip be? Unless you are going for just a simple lighted tree, less is not more…more is better! But of course, make sure everything compliments each other.

I never would have thought it but a black Christmas tree is kind of cool! There are so many options out there now, it’s mind boggling…you can have a tree in your favorite color. lol
