Christmas ornaments...


...are pretty this year. 

That's a christmas fairy my good friend Tricia sent to me this year.  She also sent a big THING of the most awesome homemade fudge ever.   It's simply delicious!

Another Christmas fairy...

She carries a yellow lily and is made of porcelain and paper...a gift to Charlotte from some relative. 

You can see the tree is full of so many things; a hodgepodge of handmade ornaments, gifts, candy, ribbons, streamers, beads...I like an interesting tree.  Another frasier fir this year.  I love them 'cause they smell just wonderful and the needles don't hurt.

We are still full of snow but a short thaw is coming.  No fear of all of it going away though...we have a definite snow surplus this Christmas.

I hope you are all safely wherever you need to be this year, and ready to enjoy the season.  Merry Krippits!

Your ornaments are lovely. We have a lot of handmade ornaments on our tree, many of them made by my mom and my grandmothers, and I love them.

Stay warm and safe this season! I hope that the weather is better than forecasted for here--here we're to get snow, freezing rain, rain, more freezing rain, and then snow showers. We're supposed to be on the road a lot the next few days--I already missed on seeing one out of state friend because of bad roads--so I'm really hoping for better driving conditions!

And if all that rain and ugly weather gets rid of our snow on Christmas eve, I may well cry. After the past week or two, I think we deserve a white Christmas, dang it! We have a lot of snow though.

Hmmm. No fudge here, but DB made homemade applesauce and it's divine.

Thank you...I love our ornaments too. It's a very eclectic christmas tree.

I am getting the exact same weather. It's snowing pretty hard right now but it's already getting warmer & soon that snow will turn to rain, and then we'll have a mess on our hands. Back & forth between freezing rain & snow for the next week. *sigh* I'm pretty sure there will still be snow for Christmas though...there's quite a lot of it.

Please be careful on the roads! Bring a charged cell phone & your AAA card with you at all times.

Eclectic is a good thing.

This cold rain/freezing rain/snow blend is the pits. :(

We have cell phones and AAA card--and hopefully neither will be necessary.
