For some reason the tree ended up becoming a two day event! We put it up Monday night - put on the lights and then finished the rest on Tuesday. But it is finally ready for the holiday season and it is a very lovely tree. I think Jim said it was a Noble Fir - but I could be wrong.
A few of my Christmas decorations that now adorn the fireplace.
Both the Santa and the Angel were made by my friend Maureen and given to me as gifts on different Christmas seasons. I love them both! If it wasn't for Maureen I wouldn't have any Christmas quilty things at all. She has also given me a couple of Christmas placemats and a Christmas table runner.
This was made for me by Jessica when she was about 11. Still very special and I bring it out every year. I probably showed these all last year :))
And of course, Jenny has offered her services to Santa to help with the sled trip on Christmas Eve!!
Although she doesn't look all that enthusiastic does she? I think she kept the antlers on for about 17 seconds!!!
Well - I am off to wrap some gifts. I still haven't received my Secret Santa gift in the mail. I think Canada Post is the slowest in the world -- that is my observation!!
Jenny certainly doesn't look very impressed, poor girl, such humilation....lol...
ReplyDeleteYour home looks very festive - love the hangings on the fireplace. You must have been really good to get Jenny in that 17 seconds! =)
ReplyDelete17 seconds too long, hey Jenny?
ReplyDeleteSimon and Chloe beagles.
Jessica's gift is very very fine.
ReplyDeleteJenny is a wonderful reindeer.
ciao ciao
Lovely tree! It looks a lot like the one's I had as a child. Love the little treasures you have! I've kept all of dd's tree decorating art. I read you about Canada post. I think it has to do with international mail. I still can't believe how long it took for the Halloween candy to reach you! Next time I'll drive to the Lacolle post office and mail it from there! It's only a 10 minute drive! Keep well!
ReplyDeleteThings are looking like Christmas at your place. I love the Santa quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat decorations! Jenny does look very festive. Good thing you have a picture, cause she probably won't let you do it again.
ReplyDeleteSweet Jenny look so patient. Merry Christmas, Pam.
ReplyDeleteI love your tree. We do not have that kind here. And Jenny looks utterly thrilled! LOL
ReplyDelete17 seconds is pretty good! Lovely decorations Pam. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family. Still no news from the mailman here.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Pam! Jenny doesn't appear to be one of Santa's more "eager" reindeer; but she is, indeed, sweet and precious all decked out! Your decorations are the very best kind, hand-made and well-loved. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Christmas tree and love seeing your decorations.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you....Canada post is slooooowwww.
Happy Holidays.
