Dressed in Holiday Style

We got all the lights up and most of Christmas decorations out sometime the last week of November. Dana, as always, worked so hard to accomplish all the lights before Thanksgiving break was over. We had quite a time getting the lights up on the highest peak....(please note, I say "we" loosely....and too often, I might add. I watched in fear and trembling while HE put up the lights). And no matter how much he stretched himself and the ladder, it still would not reach that peak. My brilliant husband figured out a way to "prop" the lights so that it appeared they were attached to the roof line.

You can't really see that bamboo stick, can you? :o)

Especially at night::

I worked on things inside, which took me much longer.

I wish I could throw it all out there at a faster (and less grumpy) rate.

And,

then....

I attempted pictures. My camera took very, very blurry ones, but I think it adds to the dreaminess and magical part of the memories of Christmas, don't you? At least, that is what I am telling myself so I won't kick myself for not taking better photos.

Or for forgetting to take some with the stockings hung (kick, kick, kick)
