This year we have a newly decorated front room and a kitten cat in the house so my plan is oh wait and see.........
Same ritual here as Diana!
I did it, I got my Christmas tree up - okay it's not really a tree but I decided to go with an environmentally friendly version this year.
I collected the branches from the floor of the woods behind the house and just added some festive trim -

Awesome job Barb... Really nice.
We have never really done the traditional Christmas tree ... I love the Poinsettia its the traditional christmas flower of mexico so we whenever we can we bring live plants or blooms into the house during christmas ... but i have a good standby ... a red silk Poinsettia arrangement .. today i went to to stark Ayres nursery and bougth a white poinsettia arrangement as well plus a beautful angel to watch over us ... she will be incorporated inbetween the eastern figures .. an eclectic kind of mix ...
My tree went up to-day.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

This was last years.................................I had nothing to do with it kiss
Here's my tree ...
christmas tree .. here is a story ... we live in a non secular country ... this is a thread on the dumbing out / scare emails that appear about the insurgence of Islam .. etc etc .. some of it is alarmist some of it downright bordering on hate speech .. I dont take sides although abhor the arrogance sometimes encountered .. Now heres a trye case of the dumbing out .. my friend David is /was good friends with a lady who owns a very succesful coffe shop / deli .. to the point of helping decorating it gratis for her ... He noted with the festive season coing on that she had no inkling of anything relating to Christmas in the shop ... she replied " I wont be putting up decorations so as not to offend my Muslim customers .. Duuh !! ??? his honest retort was , frying bacon and serving ham in your shop is surely more of an insult to them .. quite a true summary ... gist of the story is said person has a very difficult relationship with a very staunch catholic mother ... my thoughtline is she rebelling against the staunch catholic background ,,, instead of dealing with the issue witin her own soul she chooses to make silly choices and go the total oppsosite , not even aware of the fact it is as equally if not more so oppressive ??? currently my mind boggles // If one dares to even wear a crucifix in some of those oil rich countries you are well toast ... uuugh my mind just reeling at the stupidity of people with issues .. the whole damm lot ... beettre me go to bed ..me gobsmacked //
Not a tree but a card
