Ready For Christmas

We did it! We got the house all decorated for Christmas. The house is as done as it is going to get. All the “kids” helped too. Now we are ready for the season’s festivities. Let the celebrating begin. 🙂

I love Santa Claus and I collect Santas. I have for many years. I think I love the magic, fun and frivolity he brings to the season. As we were unpacking our Santas, Juneau decided she needed to see what was going on too.

Otis was watching from under the tree.

Nicky was supervising as we were decorating.

We worked hard for most of the day, but we got everything decorated and festive. All the lights are up, the trees are decorated, and Santas are everywhere.

Our tree in the living room.

The small tree in the art niche above the stairs.

And our big, main tree in the family room.

Even the banisters are lit up.

While decorating, Larry even found time to smoke some more meat. When it came time to putting it all away, Dorrie was more than ready to help Daddy, hoping he would drop it for her. She was pouting earlier, while we were setting up, because we were not giving all the attention to her. But when it came time for the meat, she was all in.

We’re all ready. Let the celebrating begin. Let’s ring in the season. 🙂

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone. ‘Til next time.
