I have a green doily under a cream & red doily, then my precious moments angel on top of them---and also my ceramic sleigh with my 1 card in it--does any of my stuff count ??/
it is all I have so far----

Oh yea--I can get to my Christmas doilys--(small doilies that go under my white bathroom items--soap dish, mouthwash, etc.)--the vanity is white as well--so this way all does not blend in--thanks for reminding me--!!!
I have Christmas window clings too!!!

OH, yes--I do. since my oldest was a small child, I have had stockings for the girls--(really rectangular draw-string bags that I made.) The girls stockings came with a tree skirt piece of cloth I bought to make my oldest a tree skirt for her little tree.
The Christmas after my oldest got married, I made 3 more stockings.--One for her DH, MY DH and one for an as yet un-named DH for my youngest-(she did not even have a BF at the time)--I must have been psychic--it went un-unsed only a short time--- :wink:
I think I will always hang & fill the stockings--I am the one who enjoys it---making Christmas for my family is MY Christmas. Even If I give money--I make sure there is 'something' to open. I like seeing the happy look on their faces.

Aww Carol, me too! A few years ago I bought and put names on stocking for EVERYONE in our family, not just the kids...then I went to the dollartree and bought little cheap things to fill them---I know it was cheap stuff, but all the adults were so happy having a stocking to open after the main presents were done....they'd all forgot I did stockings too.
I feel the same way too, Loz. I keep wishing somebody will get the hint & make me a stocking--but oh well--I really get my fun out of watching them--
and you are right--they are all grown kids (DH is the biggest) and the just light up when opening up their stockings---I think they like it best. And who wouldn't?? the bet part of gifts is NOT knowing what is inside & unwrapping them to she what is inside the package
hey--I just found my Ceramic Santa that has a bag fixed up to hold candy canes. I just put it on the mantle---My Living room will look like Chriatmas yet !!!!

and then--we decorated the living room for Christmas !!! I left most of my decortions downstairs but I brought up the small 2 ft tree Rod & I had when we were first married and the 1 small box of rustic decorations the girls bought me the firt year we lived in this house. so now I feel like it is Christmas!!

We finally got our tree on Tuesday and the kids decorated it. I took a couple of pics to share.
This is as much a close up of the tree I could get. A lot of the ornaments were handmade by the kids and their grandma.
This one I tried to make look pretty by getting the fire in the pic also. Looking at it now I guess I should have gotten the duraflame box out of the picture. Oh well.
