So since my dad and husband were off at the driving range, we decided to make rounds shopping for deals. Of course, everyone has their Christmas stuff out already and I couldn't help but pick up a couple of bargains at 40% off.
So first up is a little tree:
And then I found these fabulous, sparkly deer. How cute are they?
I am going to have a turquoise and silver sparkly house come December. The only down-side is timing. So if I start the beginning of November and leave it up until February-ish, that's okay, right? It's really a shame to do all that pretty decorating for only a month. Besides, the cats love hiding under the tree.
What about you? Do you do a big decorating push for Christmas? Been out to some early sales, yet?

I use the same stuff year in and year out. A few years back I did a major purge, so now I only have the really nice things. I'm not big into decorating and it ALWAYS comes down New Year's Day. But, I have to say, the turquoise/silver theme looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I did the very same thing. We are handing down our traditional decorations to my daughter. In memory of my mother, I put up a white 6 foot tree with silver and royal blue decorations.
ReplyDeletekris - I love the turquoise and silver. Maybe you should consider a revamp - go purple and pink or something really bright and fun. :)
ReplyDeleteSavannah - ooooohhh, I love the silver and royal blue too! And it looks absolutely awesome with the white tree. Good call!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe usually pick up one new ornament a year. I prefer sparse decorations, but still have kids who would rather the Christmas tree looks like it'll fall under the weight up the ornaments. *g* (Well, my teen Daughter is more like me. My nine year old Son would rather cover every branch. *g*)
ReplyDeleteBrandy - well, that's simple, you get two trees. One for each child. :)
