It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

The weather outside is frightful! It's in the upper 60s and will be going into the 70s for the next few days. This is NOT holiday weather.

Regardless, the holiday decorating has commenced! Last weekend, one tree was put up and decorated along with some garland and the stockings. This weekend, the second tree was put up and a good bit of the 'other' decorating was completed-you know, putting out all the Christmas related music boxes, snow globes, figurines, etc.

Thankfully, decorating the house for the holidays is not at all like work because the lovelies were here to help. Well, last weekend 3 of them were here and this weekend 2. But no worries. We saved all of Deanie's Christmas ornaments and other paraphernalia for her to put out when she arrives for Christmas later this month.

It's gotten to the point that I will-even if only for a brief moment- consider not going all out with the decorating. But it does pass and it's not even really a true, real consideration. I'm too much a creature of habit. And tradition.

Plus, we can't have all those people over here for a Christmas oyster roast without putting up the decorations now can we?!

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to deal with my pictures on this temporary computer. But here are a few from the first round of decorating--somehow Breezy didn't make it into these pix and DoodleBug had to leave to babysit for her coach's kids...HEY! The husband didn't make in the pix either. Geez, where was my head?

Here's BestSonInLawEVER helping out---

Birdie and BestSonInLawEVER digging in the ornament boxes.

Evwardo was helping too! That's him in his Clemson shirt---the Clemson/Carolina game was on. Sorry Clemson.

Of course there was more watching of the football game than decorating. But that's ok with me!

Breezy came up with the idea that we would decorate glass ornaments for the new baby for his first Christmas. She wrote bible verses on them and we all decorated at least one for him. 

It was so much fun doing this---even though we all kept getting glitter ALL OVER THE PLACE and that includes forgetting that there was wet glitter on the ornaments and picking them up.

I didn't even attempt to edit the pix this time because it's annoying on this computer. As soon as I figure out this temporary piece of technology, I'll get more pictures posted. This thing is driving me NUTS but I am trying to just be grateful that I have something to use at this point.

So, the question today is: How's the decorating going at your house?
