Christmas at my house....

Here is our lovely tree....
december07 004

Half of the lights went out on it over this past week so we had to undecorate it, put on new lights and then redecorate.

above my tv in the living room.

The surprised Santa who SEES everything, mostly naughty kids. ;)

december07 002
The fireplace in the family room.

december07 001
The "kid's" tree that was moved upstairs to the family room from the basement for us ALL to enjoy :)

and what I am doing in my 12 days of Christmas....
december07 018
I won these window gels from a Christmas party....and they are kinda neat. So this year I am wishing BIG, or is it BIG wish, or wishing BIGGER? Either way.

Now...as much as I have bashed (in my opinion) the blow up outside things (especially the recent one I saw of Santa riding a Harley, for GODSAKES) our outside decor is not much to write home about. We put the stuff up two weeks ago...
december 07 037
here is the big HUNTER putting up the deer. Only to plug them all in and not have them work. Do you think that said hunter has fixed them...no. Not only that...two of the deer have fallen over and now with all the snow you can't even see them. So Hubby the Hunter says, "well, now there is no point fixing them, you can't see them." So yeah. I may talk a big talk about tackiness, yet my yard is full of Christmas decorations that DON'T WORK and PROBABLY won't work unless I get MY butt out in the snow and FIX them. *venting, see the steam?*

Anyway, this is Christmas in MY house, want to see the Tour of Homes, click here...

    Love the house. Hate when the lights stop working. Love all the garland. Hate when the weather destroys all the work done to decorate the outside. Love the snow!

    Ok, I hate the blow up thingies, too! But I have a few friends that are crazy about them, so I keep my opinions to myself. I do, however, love the light-up deer and trees that are pre-assembled. I am hoping to catch a few after the holidays on sale (I'm too cheap this time of year to spend money on decorations!)

    Love your music and your decor, everything looks very festive around your place! Too bad about the deer, he looks cute but bummer he didn't work! And fell over. Sounds like something that would happen at my house.

    Merry Christmas,
    Melissa
    PS Thanks for coming by my house earlier! I appreciate it!

    I feel your pain with the redecorating of the tree. We had to do that, too.

    I love your surprised Santa.

    Thanks for your visit. Come back anytime!

    You have a beautiful home, very festive. I am cracking up about your deer...poor guys. That would happen at my house too, but I wouldn't be willing to go outside and fix it. Brrrr.

    LOL your husband's attitude with the deer is the same as my husband. We also have the reindeer and the first year they stopped working, one leg fell off, the other toppled over, the other only had lights on his head and my husband just wanted to leave it like that LOL

    Anyway, I loved the tour, thank you for sharing :)

    I love the idea of a kid's tree. It's just their size. The giant Santa on the wall is very nice too. Have a Merry Christmas. Your home is lovely.
