Christmas is here again...that was fast!

This has been an unusually busy year for us. It has made the time fly by.  I started decorating a week ago, just about finished.  Had the painter and piano tuner here while all of it was going on.  Let's just say a bomb couldn't have made things looks any worse than they did.  The Christmas Palooza has taken over the house. I love Christmas time.  I love to decorate for the holidays. I don't care how much energy it takes, I hope I never give up doing it.  It makes me sad when I hear, its just going to be us this year...I am not going to decorate now the children have gone...it is too much effort...on and on.  I tried  to rationalize these lame excuses before, but my inner child always wins.  The following pictures are just for my own reference, but I won't care if you want to peek.
