brought up another box of ornaments from the basement…

I am sure now that all of the reindeer, and sleighs, have made their way into the den…

today I decided to reorganize the den and put out a few Christmas decorations…

I don’t think we have ever had any decorations there, so it was a clean slate and I had to decide which pieces to use…

I started by moving the couch forward and putting the massage table behind it… this sounds simple, but it involved climbing under counters, unplugging cords and cables, rolling up the rug, moving furniture into the hall and then returning it all…

this has helped keep the cold air from reaching the spot where I sit, lol… and given me a spot to add a tree…

then I brought up some of the trees, sleighs and reindeer… as I find other reindeer I will add a few more into the space…

once I was done (for now) I decided to take a few photos… spent a bit of time finding the Fireplace channel on the tv… I could almost smell the smoke as I listened to the crackling;-)…

certainly missing my decorating buddies…

for the last few years a dear friend has come over to help me with the Christmas decorating…

I’ve always loved Christmas but since the loss of my beloved it has lost a bit of its lustre…

this year I’ve been working away on my own to decorate… I decided to try some different options… took me a few weeks but it is done now…

have put my tree collection in the dining room where my pottery usually lives… and even passed along some pieces, yay for me;-)…

put up a new tree with purple and silver decorations and hung up the glass balls on either side of the picture above the sofa…

put the snow people up the stairs…

got a garland going along the ledge in the dining room… final piece was to put the glittery trees on the fish tank…

still might have my friend come by to check it all out…

then going to go through the rest of the Christmas boxes and maybe pass some decorations along to others…

there are the reindeer, the snowflakes, the nativities, the angels, the santas…

planters…

last night my grandson drove me over to the grocery store where we picked up some planters and baskets filled with Christmas greenery and berries…

hard to tell from the photo I took this morning, but the planters have a wooden reindeer head in them… they are quite cute…

the baskets got plopped into two of the planters in front of the living room window…

may have to go back and pick up another couple of the baskets…

waiting for a fancy swag to arrive to hang on the front door from a fundraiser the oldest grandson is participating in…

outside decorating done;-)… although I do have an expert coming and she may have other ideas, lol…

I am laying in my bed listening to the wind whipping a loose piece of siding against the side of the house… it is very loud and seems to be never ending… wondering if I am going to get any sleep tonight…
