The Start of the Christmas Season…
Posted By AmyD. on November 28, 2006
Lights in the front yard… let’s not talk about the section that burned out at the corner of the house that will be replaced TODAY. (insert me seething here) Or the fact that we only have lights across the gables on the first story because if anyone walks on the roof it will void the new roof warranty. (insert copious amounts of cursing here) – and, finally, nevermind the fact that I still have two orders that should have been delivered A WEEK ago to complete my front yard theme.
Instead, this is what I’ve got SO FAR…
The tree is another story. I only had to go to ONE lot this year… ONE!!! There have been years when that number was closer to 5 (or 6) because there are just too many crappy trees out there. But, not this year… this year, it was ONE lot and the PERFECT tree. The obvious downside is that many of the ornaments are breakable and thus had to be put higher up on the tree because of the resident toddler. This means that I have a tree that is slightly less evenly covered than I prefer. (insert minor amounts of seething and cursing here)
All in all… the first Christmas in this house is off to a wonderful start!!!!

You have MORE outdoor decorations coming? Holy shit woman!
I thought of you this morning. Santa Baby was on the radio and Emma was giggling and clapping and shaking her head – she was so excited. You would have been pleased.
Love it! Very pretty!
aww, it looks like a winter wonderland!
Miss Britt Yes, MORE!!! And, I am SO freaking excited!!!!
Heck yes, I’m pleased!!!! Now, if only I had gotten a picture of it as well.
Kentucky Girl Thank you!!! Although, our tree decorated isn’t nearly as pretty as your TREES! (catch that faint note of jealousy?)
Dawn Thank you!!!! That’s the look I was going for… although, living in the armpit of California where it only snows once every twenty or so years – that’s as good as it is going to get, I’m afraid. LOL
It’s all so pretty!
Wow, I am so beyond impressed – and you’re not even done? Me, I dragged my fake tree up from the basement this morning, threw some crap on it and now I’m golden. Only disappointed because I couldn’t find any pine scented candles to make me feel like my tree is less fake.
LOVE the blog theme!
Lovely house! We put our lights up the week before Thanksgiving – only because the next 3 weekends are all booked. lol
Damn fine job darlin’! Love the light up presents
