Yes it has been awhile but I am posting now. It may be awhile again but who knows. I am at our Laughlin house so that I can take part with my sisters in weekend vending at the Mohave Trading Post. That has been fun, and sales are okay. Could they be better? Of course, but I am satisfied with how it is going.
Back to today. This was my first chance to putter in my own new house and get it looking like Christmas. It pleases me to have the tree up, the lights on and the ornaments placed with care. The tree holds a mix of my own handmade, some of Jim's laser cut ornaments, and commercial ones from years ago and our travels.
Since we don't give gifts anymore, I put some stuffed animals and tins under the tree. Those things fill the space very nicely. This is the only thing I have stuffed animals for, never anywhere else at any other time. For under the tree, they please me.
I put out for the first time in many years a large garland that we bought to go on the mantle in our Utah home. I just haven't a good place for it, but I do now. It fits very well across a console table in my dining area of the great room. I think it looks good there along with my favorite lamp and a nativity scene.
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
