Decorating TDL part 3

it's been a while since i've done this so here i go brings a big huge nativity scene & puts it on TDL's floor with a beautiful red cloth, then brings in a fresh pine Christmas tree and puts it into a Christmas tree stand and waters it, then brings in a big box of Christmas decorations and decorates the whole tree with all kinds of orataments, angels, nativity scenes, snowmen, Santa, candy canes, decorates the rest of the tree with sparkleing lights that twinkle and blink on & off, then gets a big LED angel & puts it on the top of the tree the kind that changes colors

Man, shortangel, sure appreciate the decor, but isn't it a bit premature? It's still Advent, in fact, the First Week! What you want is a nice Advent wreath, with one candle burning!

To kick us off here is a tree from one of my friends (the doggerel is my own):

O Christmas tomes, O Christmas tomes,
Your leaves are e'er insightful!
O Christmas tomes, O Christmas tomes,
Your leaves are e'er insightful!

You turn my darkest hour to dawn;
You grant me power to carry on.
O Christmas tomes, O Christmas tomes,
For you I'm ever thankful!

That Christmas book-tree is so cool!

I'm afraid we don't put too many decorations up here... certainly won't be decorated for another week or so!

Biola Online Advent Calendar

Here is a link to an online Advent Calendar that links to a work of art, a scripture, a song and a reflection for each day from December 1-24 this year.

I love that Christmas book tree! And I loved your poem, Linda. Nice! I havent put up our decorations and lights yet, but I will post some photos when I do. I love Christmas decorating.

That tree is just too cool i love it so much!!

I'm finding pinterest a bit too addictive this Christmas...
I found out the delights of ombre pine cones!! had great fun painting them

 

[inkspot]

Those pine cones are cool!

OK, here are some of my Christmas ornaments. We put the tree up last night. Some other decorations we had up the night before ... I will post some photos of those later ... My husband and I are both scuba diving instructors, so we have a lot of underwater ornaments ...

Wow, i've never seen aquatic ornaments before. They're really cool! I think it's nice to have something on your tree that reflects you or what you enjoy doing

 

[inkspot]

Thank you! I also have a carousel seahorse, but I don't have a photo of it on this computer ... let me see what else I have ... a manatee, a cowgirl mermaid, and my ice faerie. She is beautiful, holding a snowflake that you set against a light, and it shines, very pretty. My mum gave it to me, long time ago.

Lovely, Inky!
