@AM...@Sadie<br />I love having my Mon's things out.<br /><br />@AM<br />I have other things she'd painted that are out all the time. They are some of my favorite things!<br /><br />@uptonking<br />I like it, too; it's easy to put up and easy to take down. And looks purty for six weeks or so.<br /><br />@Boots<br />I really scaled back on the ornament on the tree and around the house this year!<br /><br />@Frank<br />Putting it up gets me in the spirit. Your cookies sound perfect.<br /><br />@VRC<br />Consuelo cannot leave a rug alone and so I just said let it be! And our house is painted a bright shade of yellow green, with the front porch painted red, and in the back, the sunroom is also red. You can see it better here:<br />https://ishouldbelaughing.blogspot.com/2015/04/look-what-happens-when-you-slap-some.html<br /><br />@Debra<br />Thanks. It's got far less ornaments than in years past, but has many more interesting and personal one!<br /><br />@Dave<br />Thanks.

I'd give you a tour of mine, but I only did the patio, front door and decided not to decorate inside this year (too much work), except for bringing in two little Santa chairs and a cowboy stocking.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-24895975162076615792020-12-02T15:10:01.882-05:002020-12-02T15:10:01.882-05:00Oh... people such as yourself, who live with such ...Oh... people such as yourself, who live with such loveliness on a daily basis.

I ...Oh. My. Gawwwdddd.<br />I absolutely LIVE! for this.<br />I love everything. Every. Single. Thing. You already know that I am not xmas-y but I love it when people do it. I think the tole paintings are fantastic (and so sweet to have something your mom painted!). I love the garlands. I may give in and get a natural one and hang it somewhere (I don't have a mantelpiece). I think I 'll like the idea of having something green when everything gets white and cold outside.<br />I'm also living for that xmas tree and the table arrangement. I love sparkly shit.
