Ode to the Christmas Tree




Well, since I am taking my tree down tomorrow, I thought I would finally post some photos of it. The top two are details of the pheasants that I designed my tree around, and then the bottom one is a full view. From Christmas morning. So, if you look closely you can see some gifts I got! I love the feathers, and I wish I had more. Oh well. Farewell, Christmas. We'll see you again next year!

A Christmas Frenzy!

The last few days have been a frenzy of Christmas activity around here. Saturday, we had to go buy a tree, as I got rid of our old one when we moved. So, Sunday we put it up. It was a pre-lit tree, and I don't think we will do that again. Seriously. It was way too difficult. But, we did get it up, and decorated. This year, the theme is pheasants. All the ornaments are gold, brown, copper, and green, and I have feather picks. Also, I have three pheasants, so there you go. I will take pictures of it to post when Jason gets home on Thursday. I am not sure how much Jason loves my crazy Christmas tree ideas. But, he doesn't complain, and I really think they are quite gorgeous.
Today I have been wrapping the gifts I have already bought. I don't think there is anything quite as fun as wrapping a gift that you know someone is going to love. Expecially when you curl ribbon, and make every one gorgeous. I am sure that won't last too long for me, but I do enjoy it.
Later today, I am off to do some Christmas shopping. I have no idea what to get Jason for a big present. I do have some ideas for smaller ones, though. So, maybe I will start there and see what happens. And I still have some friend gifts to buy. All in all, I am starting to feel pressed for time as Christmas is a mere 9 days away. Yikes!
