Day 11

Merry Christmas from the cutest little elf in the North Pole! Ok, Ok so maybe north Alabama isn't exactly the North Pole, but right now it FEELS like it...
Hope you are all staying warm and enjoying the Season!

Day 10

I'm just lovin these ornaments by Gooseberry Patch. (And it sure doesn't hurt that Cracker Barrell has already marked them 40% off!) The tiny little cookbooks actually have a few recipes in them.

Day 9

Come on in to my cozy little kitchen and have a nice warm cookie...

The gingerbread men have all come out of their stuffy ole storage boxes and made themselves at home on shelves, counters, the kitchen Christmas tree... they've pretty much taken over the entire kitchen. But that's okay, they're quite the jolly crew, and they make the kitchen a happy place.

Day 8

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...

Day 7

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.

Day 6

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?

I guess folks down here don't see too many pairs of skates...

Day 5

One of my favorite ornaments.

(Just one of the finds from the Biltmore Gift Shop)

Day 4

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...
