Here, the rain is pouring down and it's been dark all day long. <br />Yesterday I set up the Nativity scene, then went on to decorate the mantel and the piano. I figured since I had to take everything off to dust anyway, why not put up the Christmas decor? And so it goes. Today I'm baking. I love Christmas.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-27332021182839069182012-12-01T19:48:06.943-05:002012-12-01T19:48:06.943-05:00I'd say you are doing great!

Doesn't even feel like Christmas - I've been baby-showering all day but I'm going to try to find where I put some of my Christmas decor last year and get that out this afternoon. Your house looks so festive! The lady hosting the baby shower had her house and halls "decked", and it really put me in a holiday mood - it was great!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-75442158625414494152012-12-01T14:11:17.097-05:002012-12-01T14:11:17.097-05:00Do I see snow out your window?

Just took a break to check out a few blogs and peeking at a Hallmark Christmas movie. Might be awhile getting back to decorating! Have a great day!

However, my grandson and his dad want to come for Christmas and I promised my daughter to always make it a wonderful experience for him like it was for her, so after I get things shipped off on Thursday, the decorating and baking will begin...and probably a few all-nighters! I love your simplicity and that fits my taste to a "T".

My youngest (who is just learning his words) kept saying "Wow!" the whole time and wanted to touch the lights. It was fun. We like going for walks in the neighborhood and looking at lights as well. Its nice outdoor family time. <br /> I agree with the above comments that your window display is gorgeous and inviting. I also noticed the first picture did not have snow and the second picture did.... did it only snow on one side of your house? :-) j/k but I am a bit confused since I am a snow "virgin" (hee he) help me understand.<br /><br />meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-71643934378470642882012-12-01T10:14:12.125-05:002012-12-01T10:14:12.125-05:00I don't do much decorating.
