Holidays are Here!

Holiday is in the house! See my first official Christmas decoration ...




Never mind that it is a tissue box. Or that it came from the dollar store. Actually, it combines both Thanksgiving and Christmas - apples with holly leaves and red roses. The basket is Ikea; part of a four piece nesting set. Okay, so it needs a ribbon around the basket ... I'll have to do that when moving from fall to true Christmas.

So, I did it. Officially began the holiday decorations. Get to make the most of Thanksgiving and get a head start on Christmas so the decor for both can be enjoyed as long as possible.


When I am truly ready for all Christmas decor, then I will pull out the fall stuff, re-arrange and voila! 

Like here, my kitchen greenery is currently filled with fresh apples, pears, our tree's leaves, and the neighbor's pinecones:




Need to add twigs with no leaves, pull out the leaves, make applesauce with the apples and add Christmas balls, feathers, ect. Move it from early fall to late fall to Christmas to simple elegant winter ....  since when did seasons get divided into even more sections? But, what fun!
