Tis the season - Falalalala - Ho Ho Ho - Jingle!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

oh, let the madness begin...

No fear - We had our recorded Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to get us through the decorating!

When you don't have a mantle, bars work nicely for hanging stockings...

Yay for my center piece! I need some candles for the wine glasses but not too shabby as of yet!
The little bench is an ornament from Bret that he got me after we got engaged.
He proposed to me on a park bench. :)

My Spode dishes! A fantastic Christmas gift from last year!
Minus all the wine, beer, chips and books that are in the picture.
Getting ready for a Christmas party coming up this weekend...

Who doesn't need a little bit of Christmas in the bedroom?!
Santa sleeps on the right
;)

Our newest tradition!
Say hello to little Stan Lee Piper Mathis.
I named him Piper but call him Stan Lee, Bret named him Stan Lee but calls him Piper..
Every morning we are on Elf watch to see where he sits next after returning from the North Pole to let Santa know if we were bad or good for the day.
This morning I found Stan Lee on our entertainment center! I suppose he wants to watch some T.V. today!

Our 2009 Christmas Tree

Yay for Christmas and all that jazz!

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
