Having a bit of a difficult time getting in the Christmas Spirit. Missing Mom so much. Have not gotten one thing out to decorate the house. Don't know how to decorate this year. Every year Mom planned it all out and I did all the work. Right now all I have is a vase of Christmas Greens and a huge red poinsettia like the ones in the photo. I'll figure it out, but for now, I miss Mom's plan.
Decided what to bake and what to bring for dinner on Christmas Eve. Shopping is done. Last of the cards and packages to mail will be done today.
No photography has been done is such a long time. Next weekend it is going to be a girl's get together at the Rockefeller Greenhouse and Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Both places have their Christmas shows, so I plan to blow off the dust off the cameras and myself. I'll post photos here.
Anyway, time to start. Errands to do, post office, butcher, Christmas Tree lots, maybe some evergreen roping for the picture window, JoAnn Fabrics and of course the grocery store.
Have a great day;
Joanne
EDIT: After going to 4 tree lots, I cannot drop $40.00 on a 5 foot tree, so I am going to use the 4 foot multi colored lights fake tree and use the fragrance, Thymes Fraser Fir Reed Diffuser Refill. I am amazed at how much this smells like the tree. I bought mine at the Orvis store. Looks like one can also buy it thru Amazon.The evergreen roping was all dried looking, also not worth the money.
EDIT AGAIN:
Went to my local LOWES and got a real Fraser Fir Tree (5ft for$29.00), a 24" Fraser Fir Wreath with Pine Cones and a 36" evergreen mantle piece. Also got a trunk load of free branches of Fraser Fir and Scotch Pine. I use them to cover my lavender bushes and to make some covering around the bird feeders. I may use the mantle piece on the cocktail table and put my little village around it.
Stay tuned, pictures to follow!
