Christmas is coming!

We decorated the tree on Saturday (this is the earliest we've put it up - I hope it lasts!!!)...Here is the decorating play by play:

...600 white twinkle lights  (I would like one more stand of 200 please!)

...moss green, see-through green, and clear globes (I bought more glass orbs this year from the Bay...they were already 30pct off...if they go cheaper I am going to pounce!)

 ...all the fun colorful ornaments 

...bling! (icicles and snowflakes, mostly homemade bead ornaments + some crystal, some plastic!)

..and this year I decided to try bows (instead of homemade gingerbread men)!  I put them on last...

I don't have a star for the top, or a wrap for the bottom (no rush...)...and I still have to dress the mantle

 ...the tree doesn't have a theme...or a style...I don't actually know how to give it a theme, or style, or decorator's touch...I'm like a kid who has to load it up with everything I got!


It definitely feels like Christmas time around here now!!!
