By now I had hoped to be ready for Christmas. I should know better :) Unlike Kim, I knew I only had one weekend left. Oh, well, I am sure we will both be ready (or somewhat ready) when the day arrives.
I still have a few Christmas letters to write, a bit of shopping and wrapping, two more boxes to ship, but the big tree is finally done! The same tree that crashed to the floor last year and destroyed so many memories. DSO modified the stand so I'm holding my breath. This was taken without a flash so it is bit blurry.
Salt glazed Santas in the wall box I bought last month.
I need to go un-decorate part of a mid-size tree. Half the lights went out. UGH. That's one of my evening tasks.
This was the view I had when I went to get Ellie up this morning. She makes me laugh. On Christmas Day it will be two years that she came to live with me. Time sure does fly.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Your tree looks great. Hope it stays upright this year. And I hope we both pull off this holiday. The other day I bought gift bags and then I remembered I have nothing to put in them. Lol. Happy Anniversary to Ellie. Cute butt. Lol
ReplyDeleteYour tree and santas are wonderful. It is nice to have things done and be able to relax and enjoy the holidays.

How pretty your decorations are, especially the santa's. What a whirlwind the holidays are with all the prep, but so beautiful. As I get older, I reminisce more. I see Ellie is working hard too! Happy Holidays to all

Morning Lauren, your tree is beautiful and I love those salt glazed Santa's, perfect spot for them. Sweet Ellie is funny, cute little behind.Christmas Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteLove those new salt glazed Santas! I'll bet your SO did a perfect job of making a sturdy tree base. Ellie's picture was a hoot. Saundra
ReplyDeleteLOL half my lights went out too!
ReplyDeleteEllies view is a hoot.
LOL!!! Oh Miss Ellie! Looks like a great wagon by your tree. I never knew there was a tool that determines which bulb is out and saves the string. It's a beautiful tree.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anybody is ready for Christmas this year, lol except Ellie. She hasn't got a care in the world.
ReplyDeleteI love your Salt Santas and that little wall box is a perfect place for them.
I think we should start a new tradition of getting Christmas gifts after Christmas when we have more time.
Hugs,

I think Ellie has the right idea, just staying under the covers. She is a sweetie. I love those salt glazed Santa's I think it looks so pretty and so nice.
