Sunday (12/20/09 Christmas)

I wasn't going to decorate this year. I have had a tremendously rough year and haven't been very much in the mood. But, the spirit of Christmas won me over anyway and I did some very light decorating. You can see my little Christmas tree, bottom center. Haha!! It's a live Norfolk pine. It has lights, balls, and bows even! I usually get a beautiful live wreath but as my sons are no longer in Boy Scouts, I had to come up with one of my own so I threw this one together.

I think this light decoration was left up from last year. Ooops, oh well!

This is my tree of life flower planter by my front door. I change the flowers for all the holidays and seasons.

I have a few other decorations too. Pointsietta and pine garlands and bead chains are hanging over many of my doorways. I have a few Christmas cards on display too. I decided not to bother climbing up into the attic to bring down the many, many boxes of Christmas decorations so it is rather sparsely decorated. I was just too busy the last few weeks and since it's less than 1 week to Christmas now, I figured "why bother?" I do miss my nativities though. I had a glass one and a wooden manger scene with lots of porcelain shepherds, wise men, and angels along with Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. I also have a several musical Santas and angels and a merry go round. I could go on and on with what I don't have decorated this year. Lol. I don't think that is what this post is supposed to be about.

I haven't put up house lights for years. However, the rest of my neighborhood is decorated very nicely with outdoor lights. But, you'll have to take my word for it. I went out tonight and it was too late. The neighbors had already turned off their outdoor light displays, except for these

And here's my little tree from the outside. ;)

I know, I know, terrible night photos. Maybe I'll replace them tomorrow night with some better photos.
