I'll give you fair warning that usually Christmas is not my favorite holiday. I've been told that I have certain tendencies reminiscent of you know who:
However, this year I'm kind of excited to decorate the house and start the Christmas countdown. I'm not sure what brought about this change. Maybe it's because my kids are old enough to really know what's going on at Christmas time and get frantically excited. Maybe I have a little more energy this year because I'm not pregnant, or nursing, or pregnant and nursing as I have been for the last several years.
As evidence of my Christmas-y spirit I give you this tree!
This Christmas tree is at the end of my counter top in the kitchen. I made the yo-yo garland over my Thanksgiving break using tiny pieces of Parisville fabric that I had in my stash (plus a solid in pink) and one of those Clover yo-yo maker thingies.
In addition to the yo-yo garland I tied some of the branches here and there with little strips of fabric. The ornaments are all Wizard of Oz characters that I've had for years. I'd say roughly 50% of my Christmas tree ornaments are Wizard of Oz themed. I love the Wizard of Oz. Alot.
I'm really just down to scraps of the Parisville line at this point. I'm consoling myself by stocking up on some Prince Charming while I wait for Tula's new line due in April 2012: Nightshade!!! Exactly what the doctor ordered for this Halloween-lover stuck in Christmasville.
