Christmas Came and Christmas Went

We (a little by me and a lot by Mom) got the house ready for Christmas but then it all went bye-bye. So sad. Our tree - artificial - but beautiful. Takes forever to put up and decorate - took parts of 3 days this year. But it is so pretty.This is a good example of Santas and Snowmen everywhere. It seemed like things were everywhere yet we still had 3 or 4 boxes of things not put out.My favorite is the mantle with the stockings and the Santa fireplace screen.These blocks are a gift from our Aimee and so pretty but so heavy. I got a workout putting the box they went in up in the rafters.
All the shelves are now bare - so sad.And finally the decorations are all in their places in their 13 or so crates and boxes ready for another run at decorating next year.
