I am not into a lot of decorating for holidays in my older age...if I weren't hosting this year's meal I'd probably just have a flower or 2 to brighten up the season...but honestly MY attic is full of accumulated decorations... so I really had to do a little something!! Remember I fell and broke my wrists saving old Christmas decorations! No I didn't get those down...lol they may never see the light of day again...who knows. I had a 7 ft fake tree way too BIG Im learning to scale things down make life simpler for myself. That big tree was donated to Goodwill...I now have this, a found item, it's just the top portion of what was a bigger tree! I usually put it outside but this year it's inside. Perfect size. I dragged out one bag of decorations and it had the miniature balls, a string of lights, the small angel, and Khris Kringle who landed on the table.
Fits very well on top of my record album stand! When my son was a youngster we always went out into the forest and cut a live tree...but TG I don't have to do that now! If I cut any wood these days it's going into the fireplace!
The Christmas Cactus actually is more of a Thanksgiving one it will probably be done by the 25th a few blooms may hang on. I have started another one a branch broke off, so easy to root a new one just stick it in dirt! Maybe next year there will be 2 of them!
And I purchased this poinsettia at my favorite "Dime Store" for $3.99; the grocery store next door to the Dime Store had the same size ones for $16.99, believe it or not! Cost is a big deal to me!
.... hung up the dog's socks hope Santa will bring them something!

I'm trying to keep it really simple so I won't become a Scrooge, BaHumBug... like I have done many times in the past. If it's easy I can do it!! Rain is predicted for us, I had hopes of an outdoor firepit with smores on Christmas Eve but rain would def not mix well with that plan SO I may switch the Christmas Eve plan and just do Christmas dinner then and a light lunch on Christmas day since everyone has to get back early Monday due to work on Tuesday. Not fair that working people are only getting one day off this Year...so we'll see how it goes.
Hope your Holiday is easy!
Hope your Holiday is easy!
PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
