Our former daughter-in-law decorates like a camera crew is coming from HGTV. I'm never comfortable there. Our tree has ornaments that have sentimental value and none of them match. My knickknack shelves are way too crowded with the addition of a Santa collection, Angels and Snowmen. The outside is lop-sided and mis-matched. We love it anyway. No worries and no stress. None of those things matter anyway....it's those who gather around the tree and around your table and in front of the fireplaces that matter. Love is all there is.Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-20249059141278807912017-11-28T18:51:46.481-05:002017-11-28T18:51:46.481-05:00I'm not dealing either.

I convinced Adam and Gabby not to put a TV above their mantle, mantles need to be decorated! My sister likes her cards to arrived the day after Thanksgiving. All I can say for myself is the cards will arrive before Christmas. It is a process and I too thought that it's not even December yet!! Best of luck getting everything done.

As it is, I know that we will take it one step at a time, enjoy all the family and happenings in the month, and that when January 7 rolls around, we will miss all the people and activity of December. Your tree looks lovely. :-) And yes, it's all about Christ, our Lord!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-43133704890702873442017-11-28T12:38:32.362-05:002017-11-28T12:38:32.362-05:00I like "easing" and your description is ...I like "easing" and your description is perfect. We spend our pre-Christmas time anticipating parties with Sunday School friends, participating in outstanding musical performances, thinking of something personal to write to each of our kids, and the whole planning and packing and driving to Northern Indiana while hoping for a white Christmas. Yes, I like "easing" too.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-19120307590355025502017-11-28T09:20:02.819-05:002017-11-28T09:20:02.819-05:00I’m almost finished but I have scaled wayyyyy back...I’m almost finished but I have scaled wayyyyy back.
