Holiday Cheer!

And I thought *I* was bad for wanting to put O/ours up on the 1st of December! LOL...

LOVE the sound of yours Medusa. I always do a very traditional (i.e., Victorian style) tree with plenty of red, green and gold (only problem being that O/our 6 foot tree takes up most of the living room).

I have to say though that you (the collective you) have the best decorations. I remember visiting some kind of hobby center in California last year and being totally overwhelmed by the choice and the quality (and don't even get me started on the Christmas shops I once visited in Maine). Yep, definitely much better than what's available here in the UK.

*huuuge beaming grin*

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I am so glad to see this thread. *beam*

I think, had I seen dragonfly ornaments, my entire grocery budget would be ALL shot to hell.

I think when Nick and Gryph go out to celebrate Gryph's birthday I shall request being dropped off at Hobby Lobby so that I have time enough to peruse the Christmas aisles.

I think Big Lots might be in my future too,

I think I wait All Year Long for the winter holidays.

I think *squeeeeeeeeeeeee* oh I am so excited!!!! *bounces, beaming*

My Halloween decs were vastly understated this year, one punkin and a wreath with a few autumn leaves on it, three candleholders--one of which I noticed later might very WELL be shaped like a cute lil black cauldron, but has PINE TREES as the cut out for the candle-light to shine through, lol.... anyhow, they stay up until Thanksgiving, maybe longer, because Autumn is my season.

Heck, y'all been color draped? Autumn is my color, too--and Gryph's, which is convenient, because it means my colors are never going to give him a headache.

Our first tree here in Wichita was decorated with paper and I found dragonflies printed on tissue paper; cut them out in heart shapes, glued them to thicker paper, and hung them on the tree. The problem was that it was a live tree and needed a lot of misting to combat the dry air of the apartment, and the decs didn't last past that first season.

Dragonfly is one of my favorites, though, as are humbirds, and I think it would be amazing and wonderful to decorate a tree with them!

So, one of the advantages of being an Autumn is that Christmas plaids, the kind in the deep jewel tones, appeal to me enormously... and since they are plaid, they're unfussy enough to please the Butch. *grins*

*wiggles with sudden happiness* Ohhhhh I am SO going to love decorating this year!!! *beams*

Hopefully reading posts by others may help to bring me holiday cheer. Somehow though, I just don't see it happening. I will, however, leave this thread with an open mind.

If I set my ringtone as a Christmas carol does that make me cheery?
