Got this much finished The tree
 

I have been getting the decorating and cleaning done for the hoildays. Whew... I am very tired. But this year I will be ready well before so I am not feeling hurried. LOL!

Here is the tree and family room.. All christmasy.

And the family room.. Haven't learned to place multi pic yet...

The tree is so pretty. And the decorations in the cabinet are exquisite.

I just finished making my Christmas cards (71 of them) and I thought I was doing great!!!! Your decorating is beautiful!!

Thanks so much girls. I should have lit up the entertainment center! Duhhh.

Pretty. Wish I was that energetic.

Wow...too early for me...our tradition is to put up weekend after Thanksgiving. Your tree is very elegant.

What a lovely tree! The teddy bear at the bottom is a cute touch.

I should do the same!!!

Holey Moley! Is it that time of year again? I think I blinked and the year was gone!

Beautifully done. I love Christmas, it is my favorite time of year. I love everything it stands for.

Thank you all so very much. I have both of the holiday dinners to do and will have my sister and her husband as guests that will be staying until they find thier own place. That means I will be packing up the closet in the spare room to give them space. Believe me that is a ton of craft and sewing things! I think I will try and donate some of it to the goodwill. That is good incentive.. huh?

Love the pics, very pretty!

Good for you! I've got good intentions this year; I'll just have a see if I can follow through.

Pretty tree.We'll be at DDs in Fl for Christmas, so no decorating here.I'll just enjoy hers. They go all out with a tree from small to enormous all thru the house.

Your tree is lovely. I will spend the evenings this week giving the house a good cleaning in anticipation of the upcoming holiday activities. We will put our tree up on Thanksgiving evening, or the next day. Actually, I will already have it put up before youngest DD gets home from Purdue late Tues. But the girls will not decorate it till on Thurs eve. or Friday. I am simplifying this year and will not decorate as much as I generally do.

You have gotten me in the mood to decorate. Yours are beautiful.

Lovely! You are so ambitious. It puts me in the mood to do some decorating early. Now.... if I only keep that motivation in mind1
