Holiday goings on.....

Well, son and hubby made it home late Friday...should I say early Saturday am. Due to the impending snow storm that some of you experienced this last weekend, hubby thought they should drive straight through, no stopping in PA for the night. 19 hrs from Augusta, ME to Fay., NC...whew...when we were young and no kids it took us longer LOL! Good thing he did, they'd just be getting home today.

So, the college guy is enjoying home cooked food again. When asked what he wanted for dinner, he didn't care, as long as it's not cooked for like hundreds of people he was fine with whatever. Cafeteria food kinda gets to everyone I think :)

So, there has been tree knitting...no I have not been knitting with my tree!!

Yay, on the last one for this year, with chunky yarn...should be done soon.

Family of reindeer

Not sure if I've shown you these before. My FIL made them a few years ago out of scrap wood. I think they need some better bows though...

Love this Santa, a friend got it at a craft fair a long time ago.,,


My newest holiday collection. Added this year was the rat or whatever you call it.

no my mantle is not tilted, apparently I am...

Woot, my first year in a very long while the presents are all wrapped before the 24th.

I happened to mention it to my MIL that I was done...yeah, should have kept my mouth shut, she promptly gave me 5 more to wrap...now I'm really done. This is our last year with our cool tree stand. It's just barely holding the tree up now. Thus the reason for not a lot of ornaments. Which is ok, I've cut back a bit on the decorating now. Sometimes it's nice for a change, plus easier to clean up after.


I love our LED lights. Hubby hates the teeny ones and white ones so we've always had those bigger colored ones. Then someone invented these LED ones, which we love. Saving $$ on electricity and they just look way cool. Apparently Belle thinks the lights on the floor are something to sniff and try to eat...

I'm enjoying time with the family as I have an unexpected week off. Nothing bad, just not on call this year, well until the 26th anyways. Off to knit, bake, and spin too!
