A haypenny will do

Christmas is coming!!!! One of my fave Christmas songs EVAH. The Muppets version, of course. And with only 3 days left I wasn't gonna do any pics of my chrissymas decorations this year but Landee is bossy and sends me all sortsa threatening texts and stuff. So, hang on, here we go:

::huge sigh:: Warm and cozy living room. We got a new tree this year. Partly cuz of our huger ceilings and mostly because of our Charlie Brown tree from previous years. I'd tell you it was fake but you gize already know that! You can't find that kind of symmetry in nature.

Stuff.

Mud bench. (I'm currently obsessed with scarves, in case you couldn't tell)

Nothing proves your decorative skillz like pine cones in a bowl.

Self portrait!!!

This is our "Kindness Chain". We started it 3 years ago and add to it every year. I highly recommend it. ::cut to Char saying all sassy-like "kindness chain ayert mom"::
It is actually really long but you can't tell since it's all twistied around the "mawble cawlum".

Look how much self esteem I have!!

My own little advent calendar. Not as cute as Krissy's but still....my kids lurve it.

On of the company's Shed does work with sent us this FER REALZ wreath. Can't you just smell it through the computer screen?

Stockings hung with care.

I'll have you know that Aunt Visor hand stitched every single stocking in the whole AV family. As each one married in or was borned, she did this. Adorabibble.

Thingy above big window thingy decoration thingy.

My new addition and soon to be fave: This recordable book. I got this idear from a commercial and it is the BEEEST. I had my mom and dad record the story so the kids can always and forever have their gramma and papa read them a story out loud at night.

An old favorite: Cracker collected these...er...nuts one Thanksgiving up at Bass Lake and I made them into a wreath.

Bedazzled it too.

This I like to call my "Landee" corner of the kitchen. She make me this cutemous countdown as well as my SF7 ornament displayed in the background.

In all truth you gize I don't have that much decoration happening around here. Turns out when your small house is filled with Christmas deco, your big house doesn't quite look the same. Plus, I didn't have a "spot" for some of my things in this house so they aren't featured. And we didn't even do (sshhh, outside lights) this year. ::gasp!::

So to make up for my lack of spirit I would like to now post my own

Grown Up Christmas List:

1. I would like you to please make the laundry do itself
2. Give my children a "mute" button (I promise to use it only when necessary)
3. I wanna be a member of the Fresh Beat Band and specialize in the running man
4. Please let grocery stores deliver, free of charge (AND I can use my coupons)
5. I would like Cinna to be real and my BFF
6. Please give the universe a "no weight gain allowed" button for the holidays
7. That diet soda would give my body the same benefits as water
8. That someone would invent a diet coke IV drip.
9. That skinny jeans would go away
10. That the crows feet and brow creases are only a figment of my imagination

I really don't think it's too much to ask. A very reasonable list in my opinion. Now you gize have an AWES Christmas and I'll be thinking of you when I open my mute button on Christmas day!!!!
