It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!



I love this time of year- right after Thanksgiving and then the few days before Christmas are my favorite! I got up yesterday at 4am to do some Black Friday shopping and I got some GREAT deals! But more than that I love decorating- below, my blog-worthy favorite Christmas decoration of all! I was so glad to see it this morning, it's been a whole year! If you know me, then you know I love Winnie the Pooh Christmas decor- (what my ENTIRE tree is filled with) this little thing plays "Carol of the Bells" when you turn the dial- I just love it! My super-simple centerpiece! I thought of this about a month ago because I had been looking for a versatile piece for my diningroom table- I didn't have any luck finding anything I liked. So, I randomly found this hurricane/vase at Target and thought that I'd just fill it with faux leaves and gourds for the fall/Thanksgiving season! (I'm so genius) then this morning I emptied it and filled it with ribbon and extra ornaments I had! Talk about versatile.
we re-arranged the room this year for the tree- I like it. I'm not done decorating, after I blog I'm going to get more ribbon and lights for the mantle, but you get the idea! (You can't tell in the picture, but on the ends of the mantle are the 100 Acre Woods!)



My Hallmark Pooh tree!(You can't really tell here either, the lighting was bad.)

I like all your decorations. You really do have a lot of neat things. I like your table piece too. I bet the boys are getting all excited about Christmas! Do they help with all your decorating?

they helped with the tree, last year after Christmas I bought new "shatter proof" ornaments and it's a good thing too- the first one I handed to Maddox he dropped! :)
