Rebecca has been really good about posting things for Christmas. I have not been good about that at all. My excuse is that the battery in my camera is dead, and my other camera is m.i.a. And I decorated late. And I am lazy, people. So here is my Christmas decorations post. I would have more pictures, which may or may not be a good thing, but the camera I borrowed from my sister went dead and I can't find the charger. I am so pessimistic today. I really should be in a more joyful mood, considering this is the season for it. Anyway, here is my family room, all decked out for Christmas.

The fireplace, with a paper banner that I made the other night while
Alli and I watched the Fred Astaire movie Daddy Long Legs. |

I decided the fireplace needed a little bit o' color, so I added some fresh greens.
My fireplace mantle is really on the thin side, so I can't add too much stuff to it. |

The whole shebang. There's my man David, dressed and ready for the season.
See the pinwheels on the wall? I made those while we were watching the movie.
I like them, but they kind of remind me of mold spores. Pretty paper pinwheel mold spores. Nothing says "Christmas" like a little paper mold. |

David wishes you a Merry Christmas. |

My pretty little glittery reindeer.
Now he feels more at home, since I added the greenery. |

This is our tree. In case you weren't sure. I need to snap a couple pictures of it at night.
I haven't done that yet. |

Glitter! |

I have a few of these that all have different postcard
pictures in them scattered throughout the tree. |

I love these bulbs. I think they are beautiful. |

Little feathery birdy on the tree.
There are also some birds without feathery tails.
There are also some butterflies.
And some hydrangea, blue clusters and brown clusters.
I would have taken a picture, but that pesky battery died.

So that is my living room, all decked out for Christmas. I usually put up another tree in the formal living room, and a small Jack Skellington/
Nightmare Before Christmas tree in the office/den, but I just didn't have the time or energy this year. I did manage to put up Alli's little tree in her room, though, but only because it is pre-decorated (by my very talented Aunt) and ready to go. Anyway, Happy Holidays!
