Santa popped his head in our van to talk to two very wide eyed boys as we drove through the Huntsville Botanical Gardens Galaxy of Lights. It'll be a good long while before they forget that...
The displays were just beautiful...
And larger than life...
and there's no way I could show it all here!
Then we drove on up the mountain to see the view of Huntsville. We're just enjoying the Season...
The coffee table is warm and festive. Something about Christmas just calls for candles...Lots and lots of candles... I have so many candles lit that Jackson rolled out his old firetruck...just in case.
I was so excited to find these old ice skates at a Thrift shop el-cheapo. The clerk looked at me funny because they're HUGE - a women's size 11. I wear a girl's size 3 1/2. I said oh no, they aren't for me, I want to decorate with them. She said you want to decorate with THESE? 
FaLaLaLaLa.... I'm a deckin' the halls! and the walls, and the trees, and I'll slap a ribbon on pretty much anything that doesn't move or eat me first... 
The big tree is done and I'm moving on to the rest of Operation Decorate For Christmas. Tis the Season to be Jolly...
I got some decorating done at the church, but I wasn't completely convinced that my floral arrangement was "Christmasy" enough. After I finished it, it really looked like a fall bouquet. Once I got it all in place, I asked Dave if it looked too fallish. His answer? "Well...if you want it to look more like Christmas why don't you put some poinsettias in it?" It IS poinsettias!! That's what I get for asking a man for an opinion about flowers...
The boys put up their very own tree in the playroom today, with very little help from Mom. They sure have admired their work...
That was the easy part of my Christmas decorating! I just handed them a pile of ornaments that they could use and turned them loose. If only the rest of the house were that easy...
Melissa is sharing a daily photo for the 25 days of Christmas, so I thought I'd join in and see if I can keep up!
