Hysterical! I love it @Dandi!

Here are a few more photos..The Santa’s toy shop on the sideboard lights up inside but it’s too heavy for me to pick up. Where’s @marcy when I need her! Haha..The little trees also light up..Maybe I can get him to do it before we leave for Pa. I need to get a few more vintage ornaments for the tree on the pie crust table.

@Mamabean your house and decorations look great. Ha Ha to where am I when you need me. Ford sent us a large Otter box cooler that is pretty heavy and it's been setting in our entry way for a few weeks. I decided to haul it out to the garage - no problem at all. Sweet.

The children's tree in Pa is done! Pretty much anything the children made for me when they were little were added to the tree. My son, David, made me a white paper plate angel when he was 2.5 years old. His photo is at the center. He’s 34 now and it’s still added to the tree. My oldest made me a Santa ornament out of a CD....The ornaments are special to me. This tree is down in the rec room..

In Maryland we store the tree in the basement. The rest of the decorations we keep in a huge closet..It’s our second house so no clothes are stored in there...It takes up one wall...In Pa we have a very large storage room...I do have to tackle that space because I’ve accumulated a lot of things from different houses we lived in that didn’t work when we moved to another house. I’m going to start doing that after the new year.

Great idea to put a gate around your tree.

Gosh I just love everyone's Christmas decorations! They are all so different but equally as lovely. I just love this time of year. We finally finished our decorating. I'm exhausted, lol.

Thanks! I like color which is probably why I like colored gemstones so much. My husband grew up in a house that had no other color than beige. He is more into color than I, I think. I can't wait to see your snow people!
