Colorado has piles of snow
in the mountains.

But on the high plains,
not so much.

Inside it's looking

| Christmas Tree, 2014 |
This year it's all about silver and green,
Frostie Friends and penguins ~
Yes! I know the Arctic doesn't have penguins,
but they're so darn cute,
I can't resist!
have you gotten your tree up?
Does decorating a tree excite you,
or do you groan at the thought of it?
Do you decorate the same way every year,
or do you like to change it up?
Here's a toe tapping Glee performance
to get you rockin' around your Christmas tree!

If that doesn't do the trick
and you need a lift,
go check out Linda's Peaceful Place,
the heartwarming and uplifting blog
of a Montreal blogging buddy of mine ~
who shared these Christmas Tree lessons.
I'm wishing you Happy Holidays
during this special time of year!
Your tree is lovely, just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra! I do love Christmas trees! Have a great evening!
DeleteWow your tree looks great!!.
ReplyDeleteI haven't put mine up yet .. but will do soon :)
This post has definitely got me in the mood .. yay.. it's Christmas!!
Yay, Dawna! I so love Christmas! Have a great evening!
DeleteI agree that your tree is gorgeous! What a fun post, and I am glad to see you are enjoying Princess Sassy Pants' images as much as I! It is a blizzard here in Montreal today, we are getting a lot of snow and blustery winds. :)
ReplyDeleteOh poor you, Linda! A blizzard!!! I hope that you are safe, dry, and warm! I enjoy all the fun and inspirational quotes that you track down and post! Take care!
DeleteSuch a beautiful tree just right and gorgeous. This year for the first time I did all my decorating before thanksgiving since I was having company and then was going away the first week of December. I was so glad I did as now I am enjoying December instead of do feeling overwhelmed. I just might make it a tradition.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peggy! I think it's great that you got an early start and don't feel overwhelmed. I was slammed in mid-November, but things are better now. I'm definitely starting earlier every year. Now if Terry and I could just shake these pesky colds! Take care!
DeleteI've seen the recent phase of those ornaments. I was seriously thinking about getting this year one where they in the boat, but they were out
ReplyDeleteHi Adam! I hope that you are feeling 100%! I buy my ornaments in July ~ The Frostie Friends always run out. I have almost every ornament in the series. It drives me nuts that I don't have them all, especially the first one. Oh well, I get over it every year. Have a good one!
DeleteGreat tree indeed, like the no snow pic better lol had a crap ton of rain here today, if it was snow it be like 10 ft of it lol
ReplyDeleteHey Pat! I'm glad that you didn't get buried in snow! I know how much you love it!!! We may get a good snowstorm this weekend ~ the Pineapple Express is on its way. Lots of moist tropical air mixed with cold temperatures could set up for a big dump. Have a great day!
DeleteWOW! Nice tree Louise! So warm and inviting. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jim! I love a Christmas tree! I like to put on my Christmas CDs, open a bottle of Evan Williams eggnog, unpack the boxes of decorations, and go down Memory Lane with Terry as we decorate the tree. My dad loved decorating the tree too ~ It was a work of art for him. We got to watch as he created it. But sometimes it was me who went and chopped down the tree and brought it home. Now I'm quite happy to have my artificial tree, especially here in dry Colorado. Have a happy day!
DeleteHappy Holidays to you and Terry !!
ReplyDeleteI see your world has transformed beautifully into a glittery evergreeny world. I'm toe tapping and humming again ~~ how did that happen?
SMILES!!
Ron
Hey Ron! My toes are tapping right now, because I'm listening to the Glee video again and again as I write my replies! I can't imagine a world without music! Smiles right back at you! Take care!
DeleteI'm a little tilted, but I do try to sparkle. No decorating for us this year - we're going away for Christmas. I like your tree, though.
ReplyDeleteLove that first sentence, Barb! LOL We're going up to Breck to be with the family for too few days! I hope that you have a safe and fun holiday trip.
DeleteYour tree is gorgeous! Such a pretty sight. That certainly puts you in the holiday spirit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha! And I am definitely in the holiday spirit! I love this time of year! Have a great day, my friend!
DeleteThe tree is beautiful. What is that long ornament that appears to be glass? My tree is up. I don't groan over decorating it, but if I don't get around to it, then it's not the end of the world. I'm bizzy bizzy bizzy.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thanks, JJ! Bizzy, bizzy says it all! The long glass ornaments are icicles. I have clear glass ones and snowy, glittery plastic ones for my Arctic tree. I don't do a lot of decorating, but I did get a wreath outside and string some lights on it. My neighbors must be shocked ~ LOL! Have a great day, and may the bizzyness slow down a little!
DeleteI thought it might be an icicle. Thanks.
