It's beginning to look a "bit" like Christmas

Category: Holidays | Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 1:36 pm

Since we will be with our family in New Jersey for Christmas, I was just going to put up our tree and decorate the mantle to have a little Christmas spirt.
However...Yesterday I went to a Christmas luncheon and was inspired by my friends decorations or maybe it was the Jack Daniels lemonade. So when I came home I dragged out some more boxes to make things a little more festive. This is my friends dining table.

She belongs to the "Red Hat" group and had a luncheon for them the day before so she decorated in their purple and red colors.
Back to my house. I am attaching some photos of my decorations.

I still have a few more boxes of snowmen to put out but it's still 12 days before we drive to NJ so I will get to enjoy some holiday spirit in TN.

OO lovely!!! I like you mantle best of all with its candles and background scene. You've made your home look really beautiful for Christmas.

So the JD lemonade got you in the spirit!! Funny! Gail your decorations are beautiful. And I see you collect snowmen as well. I tried to thin my collection out by giving my daughter some. But I still have way too many. But they are all soooo cute!! Merry Christmas!
