Good afternoon! :-)



Just put up some outdoor lights. I had been putting them on a yew hedge near our front door, but Mr. thinks they might detract from the Christmas tree visible through the front window. We have a cedar that's maybe 8 or 9 feet tall at the opposite corner of the house, so I put some C7 lights on that for the first time. Don't know how well I did---we'll have to wait for dark to see how they look. In front of the hedge I put a string of five pathway Santas. Each is lit from inside with white LEDs, and each holds a little lantern with a flickering yellow LED inside. It operates on batteries. Don't know how that will look until dark either! I'm a complete novice at outdoor deco. My attempts usually look pretty lame. No relation to the Griswolds at all.



Indoors I put up Santa's Quartet (Mr. Christmas) for the first time in several years. I decided I just had to find a spot for it and get it up and running again. Santa and three bears sing barbershop harmony when you switch it on. There are 15 different songs. I also have a Mr. Christmas music box with different song discs that I haven't set up in years, but I just don't have anyplace for it. Unless … hm … under the tree … ?


I bet it looks great! Hope you're having a Christmassy weekend!

We just braved the mall! Loved the hustle and bustle. The problem is I am done shopping and just saw Woody and Buzz from Toy Story at the Disney store for $15 a piece!! Can't beat it. Might send the hubby there on his way home from work one day! My children's Christmas grows larger each day lol!

Now I am making some cookie dough and freezing it. Yum!

Good afternoon,



A quick half day of work, just watching NFL Redzone hoping my Bengals can get the win. Not looking to promising at the moment.



Will be just relaxing the rest of the day, maybe finish up one of three trees. cheesy


Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday, buddy!
Have fun decorating your trees!

I am, thanks! Watched a Christmas movie while crocheting a tabletop tree. I'll watch or listen to some more festive stuff this evening. I started listening to episodes of The Cinnamon Bear around Thanksgiving, but haven't finished yet. Must find out how it ends before Christmas!
 
Xmas: just realized that the Bengals played the Steelers today. Glad Steelers won - no offense! When this time of the year rolls around, I usually don't watch too much football, so I didn't even realize who they were playing today.

Well the colts pulled out an ugly win over the Browns. They really need to step it up if they want to go past the first round of the playoffs.
