On The Seventh Day Of Christmas

Posted by terrepruitt on December 31, 2024

Here we are, the seventh day of the 12 Days of Christmas. And it is New Year’s Eve. It is going to be 2025 tomorrow. Wow. Here is another picture of our Christmas Tree. The star topper is just plain, but it tends to catch the light and make lovely reflections on the wall. I bought a new one this year (a metal gold star) so this may be the last year for this plastic one. We will see. But this is a delightful shot of it.

Happy New Year!

 

The shadow and the reflection are more visible than the topper itself.

2024 Christmas Cards

Posted by terrepruitt on December 30, 2024

Usually I tape cards up on the walls. But our walls were just painted this year so I didn’t want to chance it with tape, so I used some sparkly string I used to use years ago. I love Christmas cards. Such a festive way to keep in touch.

Do you display your Christmas cards?

Additional Angles Of 2024 Metal Christmas Tree

Posted by terrepruitt on December 28, 2024

You may have seen my Friday Photo post on December 13, 2024 that was titled One Angle Of Metal Christmas Tree. Here are more angles. I really love the metal tree because it allows me to hang heavy ornaments and allows some ornaments to be seen better. I always think it will be fast to put up, but it is not.

It took me a particularly long time to assemble this year as I had thought I had mislabeled the parts, but I had not. Then I didn’t open every box (containing ornaments) that I have and start pulling things out. I was trying to do a few boxes at a time which meant different ornaments were going on the tree. I try to use the heavier ones on the metal tree, but I also like to use ones that look good from the back.

Also, I am not part of the Christmas-Day-is-over-decorations-come-down crowd, I like to at least make it through the 12 days of Christmas and then it depends on the status of the tree (is it super dry?) and when the weekend falls.

Anyway, we enjoy our metal tree. Here are just a few of the MANY pictures I took of it. Thank you for looking!

Merry Christmas!

When do you take your decorations down?

Both my tree skirts, this one and the one around the other Christmas tree, were made by my mother-in-law.  She was an amazing seamstress.

More 2024 Christmas Tree Ornaments

Posted by terrepruitt on December 24, 2024

So, as I said, I am just posting all the pictures I have taken of our Christmas Tree ornaments.  Well, actually not ALL, but most.  The same ornaments from different angles.  Just showing the menagerie we have on our tree.

As you will see in the next post, the Christmas Tree post, there is a large “hole” in the tree.  We use that to hang a lot of ornaments.  We try to fill up the blank section.  This is that section.

The bauble on the left is at least 45 years old.

I think that is the Enterprise.

There is another one of those baubles that are at least 45 years old.  In the lower left.

I believe that blue bulb on the right is a part of that collection of old ornaments.

Another star ship, right next to a tea cup and saucer.

“You’re My Lobster”.

Pink bulb part of the old collection.  Above the Mach 5.  I can also say that those candy canes are at least 20 years old.

The tree is still very green, good tree this year.  A bit narrow and wonky with a huge blank section, but it’s ok.  What is your favorite Christmas Tree ornament to put on your tree?  (Or hang, if you don’t have a tree?)  Do you have a favorite you look forward to every year?

2024 Ornaments, Ornaments, Ornaments

Posted by terrepruitt on December 21, 2024

I always take a million pictures of our ornaments because I love them.  So even though I titled this 2024, you would never know it is from 2024 because the ornaments are the same every year, but I still take hundreds (ok, NOT millions) of pictures!

Slot machine, peacocks, and starfish.

Butterflies and starships.

Angels, hummingbirds, and flowers.

Unicorns and Spiderman!

Angels made of seashells, tea cups ornaments, tea pot ornaments, reindeer, and Christmas trees.

A NEW reindeer – SO SPARKLY!  Don’t tell my hubby, but it was a gift!

Snowflakes and – shhhhhh! Another new ornament (a gold Christmas Tree), but it WAS a gift!

A Winnie the Pooh ornament and another starship.

Tigger and the starship.

Starships, Peloton ball, the new reindeer, another starfish, a star, and a stocking!  Such fun!

What is on your Christmas tree?
