Setting the Mood

Every year I tell myself I am going to take that next step in Christmas decorating and buy a tree. Lord knows I have all the trimmings for one! I've even found myself wandering around the Christmas tree section at Wal-Mart and Lowe's picking and choosing which tree best suits my needs. Thumper always asks, "Why not just get a fake tree?" But the idea is just so artificial - no pun intended. If you're going to do Christmas, then you might as well go all the way. Besides, I love the smell of evergreen needles in the house. It's the best! Needless to say, I did not get a tree again this year. As much as I love the look and the feel of a tree, my wallet just doesn't agree that I should be paying $30.00 for something that I am going to put out for the trash men to haul away in about 3 weeks. So below are some pictures of what decorating I did do this year, and really what I do every year since I've been on my own. Enjoy!
