I was one of THOSE people this week
You know the ones. People who don’t do a stitch of Christmas shopping until the days of December begin with a ’2′. It was just a horrible combination of time + money availability not lining up until after the 15th of the month. Then because my company is so generous with the holiday time off, [...]
Indoor Christmas Decorations 2011
Tree ornaments finally done! At this point the pre-lit tree is about only half working so I end up having to string about 5 strands manually on the thing. New tree topper as well since last year’s fizzled out. Went with a simple shimmery bow. I love how you can see the outdoor lights from [...]

Has anyone seen my Christmas spirit?
I’ve determined (ok, perhaps my body determined) that I can no longer deny the existence of the cold that has been trying to take hold since last week. I am now officially snuffly & coughy & generally cloudy headed & feeling icky and I will most likely whine about these things for a few days [...]

As always, this was put up in one day. This year my eager helper was Renee [...]
The warmth of lights
I know, I know – it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! But…it’s dark when I get home now. And I am hosting Turkey Day this year and I want the house to look festive and nothing says festive like LIGHTS! Besides, Alex will be gone at Christmas this year so this is the bigger family event [...]
Friday beauty – Merry Christmas!
My favorite view of tree. I love the way the tree lights reflect on the floors & side door, that some of the outside lights are visible through the window to the backyard, and that Chip is resting on one of the kitty mats. Wishing you and your families a peaceful, relaxed Christmas weekend filled [...]
Friday Beauty – ‘Tis the Season
******** FIVE YEARS OF BLOGGING TODAY ********* I really need to figure out the proper setting on my camera so that I can take a decent picture of my own house light display, but in lieu of that – I absolutely have to admit that I ADORE even the tackiest of light displays Beyond the [...]

Still working on the tree ornaments so here’s a short pictorial of the weekend Later gators. Oh, and don’t forget to leave some slow cooker recipes down below!
What do you love about the holidays?
August mom LSM asked this question on her site last week: What is your favorite holiday treat? and If you had to choose only one holiday tradition to observe this year, what would it be? Now, my first thought was that this question was excepting the actual day itself which is, of course, a day [...]
