The Outside Lights Are Up

Thanksgiving is over, and now it is time to get ready for Christmas. Larry got all the outside lights up and they look so pretty, especially with the accents of fresh snow.

We love our big tree in the front yard, especially at this time of year.

Our back deck is it up nicely too. I just love this look. It looks so surreal, especially with the snow.

Today’s project is to decorate the inside of the house. Larry brought all the Christmas decorations up from the basement, and we got started, but we both had to take a break. Everything will be done by the end of today though.

Though I much prefer live Christmas trees, we haven’t had a live tree in years. All the inside trees are artificial. Our big main tree is about a 20′ tree. It’s got to be about 20 years old. We inherited it from one of Larry’s brothers about 15 years ago. We got most of it up and “fluffed”, but still have to top it off. But as I said, everything will be done by the end of today. We have no choice. It has to be. Our party is Saturday. Then our whole house will be festive for the season.

We did get our HUGE Costco poinsettias yesterday, and those are already brightening up the house. We got the one extra large poinsettia and four smaller ones, that are still pretty big too.

All the fur babies are very curious about what’s going on, and are doing their best to “help” decorate too.

The outside is done, and the inside is still very much a work in progress at the moment, but I will show you the end results once we are done decorating.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 🙂

Happy Holidays. Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
