Christmas is the very favorite time of the year. I love everything about it and love putting out Christmas decorations and having friends and family members over for drinks and snacks. It is a magical time of the year that I love sharing with those I care about. Just because loving the holidays so much I have collected many Christmas decorations through the years.
When we travel, I go to the selection of Christmas decorations in gift and souvenir shops often. Now we have so many ornaments for the tree that we need to have two trees in the house in order to display all the Christmas decorations I have accumulated. This is also fun because we put one tree in the living room in front of the bay window so that you can see it from the outside as well as inside.
The second tree we put it in our bedroom. Love falling asleep with the lights on the tree and the decorations sparkling in the lights. By having two trees, I chose to place the formal ornaments on the living room tree and place the homemade and whimsical ornaments on the upstairs tree. Having two trees is extra work, but it is worth the effort. Have placed another small artificial tree with miniature ornaments in the guest bathroom too.
Ornaments are not the only Christmas decorations I have accumulated. There is a Snowman Village as well as a Winter Scene Village. I often put out the Village Displays the day after Thanksgiving and leave them out until the end of January. Also started to collect hand crafted Old World Santa's.
They are created by a local Artisan using recycled furs and wool fabrics. Each one is a work of art and has its own character. I leave them out for an extended period too. The other part of Christmas to enjoy is baking and candy making. It is the time of year that people do not seem to be concerned about what they eat. It is so much fun to entertain this time of year because the Christmas decoration on cookies and candies add a festive look to the platters.
From the day after Thanksgiving until New Years day, I make sure that I have enough Christmas goodies available to share with anyone that drops by to our Christmas party. Making special snack mixes that are both sweet and salty to take along to other's homes as a Special Gifts or sharing. Never forget to make some special treats to place on co-workers desks as well.
