Decking The Halls

I enjoy having time off at Christmas. Not only can I relax from school, but I am able to get the house ready for Christmas time. While I miss my other family this time of year, we all got to spend time together at Thanksgiving. My sister Lara will be coming for the holidays, so we will be enjoying Nome sweet Nome.

Our tree this year came from Bob Smith's Tree Farm in Anchorage. He drives up the trees from Minnesota. This is the third year we have gotten a tree from there. I guess it is becoming our own tradition.
Since we have the wood stove this year, I was able to put things in different places. Our extra table was perfect for the nativity and small tree.
It is so nice to have the wood stove. It really makes for a warm feeling around the holidays. Even though there is no mantle, we were still able to hang our stockings around the fireplace. I am working on finishing all my holiday baking and hope to have a photo to post later of the goodies.

Happy Holidays!

I want to deck some halls...I saw a bunny mask in our bazar yesterday. That is sort of Christmas-y, right?

Nice job and great pictures. I love your trees. Didn't see Zeb's sheep head. Hope he's wearing a santa hat, or is he resting in the shed?

Happy New Year.
