One year we only decorated using things we made. Of course, we would sing Christmas carols and drink lots of hot chocolate with marshmallows as we decorated. It was a solid month of family time.<br /><br />BTW, I think I see Ben in your picture of the kids singing Christmas carols.

Sorry you do not have your sweet kitty anymore. Our cats like to "help" with the decor too. I'm just hoping they don't climb the tree or we might end up with the tree crashing to the floor.GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-51304171255809709352010-12-03T17:07:40.608-08:002010-12-03T17:07:40.608-08:00Thanks for coming by to lift my spirits

Our AKA DIL made us all wreaths last year since she was so short on money. She put purple picks in our wreath. I like it so much I have kept it up all year. We also have a large Christmas wreath on the fireplace that has been there for a few years (all thru those years), too! I also bought a darly Annabelle Lee Christmas tree elf. The lights on the tree actually light up! Too cute! <br /><br />I loved seeing all your Christmas decorations.

In UK it starts earlier than it used to but it is still early December before the first ones start appearing. Mine will go up somewhere around the 10th I think and I'm among the earlier ones. It's lovely getting everything out and remembering Christmas's from the past though I have nothing from my own childhood unfortunately not even photographs.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-70092600267912859942010-11-28T20:40:57.133-08:002010-11-28T20:40:57.133-08:00Everything must be looking wonderful.
