Went a bit on the subtle side this year.  Having a puppy in the house who likes to taste-test everything meant some decorations had to stay in the box this year.

I can relate.  I have two puppies.  We have had many dogs but these two are a true challenge.   Tis The Season

Just put the finishing touches on decorating the house for Christmas.  The tree is up.  Put some wreaths on the windows.  A few lights here and there...

When Ralph was a wee kitten there were no decorations on the bottom of the tree.... last year was the boys first christmas... they were pretty good with the tree... but the presents under the tree, that was a different story..... so there were no presents under the tree and the decoration that is a teddy bear was taken off every time Sarge would find it on the tree and hidden in his not so secret hiding places.

oh... what am I doin' right now.... getting the tissues ready to read that thread.

We have a top-heavy tree this year.  The lights and ornaments are all just above the line where a he can reach anything.

 

Of course, with as fast as he is growing right now, he may be big enough to reach by the time Christmas gets here.

Just watched The Christmas Chronicles, with Kurt Russel, on Netflix.  He made the cutest darn Santa.  I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Laughed, cried and just got into the Christmas mood.

I tried decorating the cat last year and it ended with a fair bit of blood, a lot of swearing and a trip to a+e. To be fair I can't blame the cat, all went well until I tried to sit it atop the tree instead of the fairy.

I make fabric covered balls and put names on them... one year for christmas... years and years ago I made my grandma a ball for every grandkid..... with our names.... and they still come out (get added to every year) and get hung on the tree at whoever is hosting family christmas... the boys are hysterical... the branch at the top of the tree.... closest to the star will end up with about 6 balls on it... as they all want to be top and centre.... so funny that these men in their 30s, 40s and one in his 50s are rushing to the tree not to shake presents but to see where their frickin ball is hangin.... lol.... love it.

When I make this years ones I'll do a pic.... its that time of year..... so my christmas tree is a hodge podge... no colour scheme, no uniformity... just a mix of evrything and anything... I need it to be like this, if I colour co-ordinated it I would end up having a breakdown because then everything would need to be strategically hung and placed and organised.... so my chrissy tree is chaos because chaos works for a mix and match... but not for a colour scheme. ... or I will get a pic from my mum's set.

not a teenager until next month.... but has the attitude down pat.... she is, um, gifted in the front.... so normally I spend $160 and she gets 2 bras..... so we lucked out on a sale... like huge sale... 7 bras (normal price for the lot $480) we payed $140... because we went to the outlet AND they had a sale with all bras $20. so she got a new pair of togs too (togs = bathers/swimmers/cosy) bloody exhausted.... got a take away roast for dinner from the spit shop.

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
