Christmas Countdown, Its ON!

Yikes, why is it Christmas sneaks up on us every year. A week ago, My house wasn't decorated, Only a handful of Christmas cards came, and the thought of putting up a tree and decorating exhausted me. Tonight I sit in a home fully decorated, gifts bought and wrapped, holiday goodies made. Many cards came this week, 95% are picture cards, which are my favorite, I keep them every year to compare the new ones to the past.  Kids grow up too fast :(.    I am officially ready for Christmas to come.  Of course ALL my shopping is not done, but its a short work week so what is left doesn't stress me.  As much as I love living decorations, im starting to give way to an artificial tree.  Did I really just say that?  These are some of my favorites around the house.

Yes, my bathroom has a tree


My Son gave me this years ago

My twister quilt I didnt get quilted before
 Christmas, next year I guess.

I Love little stockings


Simple pinwheels made out of fabric
decorate my tree

Of Course I have an angel bear on the top of
my tree

These are also old friends

How cute is this?

My Manger is Simple..

I've had this painted wooden egg for years,

Bears and Stocking These are a few of my
favorite things


One of the my must do's this holiday season is going to see the new chipmunk movie CHIP WRECKED.  Who doesnt LOVE the chipmunks?  Im looking forward to it, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!
