We have a pre-lit tree but I add extra strands of lights to it. That last couple of years I've added a strand of steady on ones and twinkling ones. Well this year, I had two sets of twinkling lights and neither one would work. Then I plugged in the steady burning ones and they wouldn't work either. I did buy another set of steady ones but couldn't find any multi-colored twinkling ones. Jarin stopped by Big L0ts and found a set, so we do have some twinkling ones this year too...Here are a few pictures of the decorations...

Hubby had a good time today. One of their contract companies, chartered a bus and took them to the Carolina Panthers game today. Of course, Hubby was rooting for the Atlant@ Falcons because Julio Jones from Alabama plays for them and they won...Yay Julio! I got to catch up on some things on the DVR while he was gone...yay me...ha.
Thanks for stopping by,

ReplyDeleteYour tree is lovely. Very pretty. The colors just jump out at you. Love those ornaments. And your fireplace and mantel are GORGEOUS. I'm crazy about it. Like all the other decorations and lights too. Don't you feel like Santa is on the way?
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are beautiful! Helen
ReplyDeleteWOW lady, the place looks great!! Y'all are in the Christmas spirit for sure. The Ehite Cheddar stuffed mushrooms sounds great. Of course the steaks also.
ReplyDeleteI think there was one year we really got excited about decorating. We drove around 'looking at lights', and got excited. LOL
I still just love to look in a window and see a lighted tree. THAT reminds me of Christmas as a child.
Great read. I know you guys are excited about your Christmas Pilgrimage, I know mama is looking forward to it. I know you have seen the picture of her and your older bro many times, but we loved it. She still reminds me of a 'mousketeer', she keeps that youthful look.
Be careful on the trip. I am not keeping up with dates, it is probably a week or so off.
Anyway always good to stop by for some Southern Comfort.
Your tree looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll of the decorations are so pretty. Just sparkles everywhere. You have got to stop in and see the entry I posted today.. Snow is melting and none yet that is supposed to come.
ReplyDeleteVery Pretty!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks beautiful at your place! I just love looking at CHristmas lights! We ride around a lot during the CHristmas season just to see the lights!
ReplyDeleteThe tree and Christmas decorations are beautiful WOW. Looks like you guys are really in the Christmas spirit. I have had to decorate so many different places this year so I fill like an ornament. I had very little time to dance but getting some in. It is cold here and we are having rain.
ReplyDeletePopping in to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
