The stockings were hung by the chim....breakfast bar with care.
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

Mamma dressed the table for dinner...a mock setting for four.
She was preparing for a church dinner she was asked to decorate for.

Out by the door, they heard such a knock.
Our Hawaiian Snowman stopped by for the season,
hoping for a cold winter with a white boardwalk.
Aloha!


The kitchen was a mess with cookies and sweets,
But trees glistened bright, as well as heartbeats.





Below you will see,
mommy's decorative tree.


To the left, oh how cute,
family ornaments collected,
We all placed on the tree so fun and respected.



We had such a fun time decorating, especially with Kya. She has not even attempted to touch the tree. We told her "don't touch", so now she walks up to it, looks at it and says, in her very understandable babble, "don't touch" while shaking her finger at it. What an angel, maybe I should put on the top of the tree. We hope you all have as much fun as we do preparing for the season. Remember why we celebrate while you adorn your homes with a beautiful decor of colors and lights. Happy Holidays!

Paula, so cute. I love all of your decor. We are mostly done, but we haven't got our tree yet, so that is soon to come. Seems very festive there, nice job, I wish we could come and see it in person.

So cleverly written! And I love all the decor. My favorite is, "Santa, I can explain!" I have a board that says, "Dear Santa, define good..." Same concept, right? :)

I also especially love the 3 little trees. I've been wanting to get some of those for a couple years now.

I love to decorate for Christmas too! I think I love my tree the best. Well, not just my tree, I love trees in general. I love to turn out all the lights and just have the tree lights on and just sit and enjoy the season! So, I am sending out christmas cards and just wanted your current address. Well, I guess I should ask if you acutally want one!! :) If you do, will you just email me sometime? Thanks! Tif
