This was from December 3rd. I think it took me at least three more days to finish decorating the Christmas tree. There are just so many Christmas ornaments and not many places to put them. We have been enjoying it.
This is a process picture of the Christmas tree decorating for today’s Friday Photo.

2023 Christmas Tree. I think when we brought it in the house the nail in the tree may have loosened a little because it is crooked, but either I am used to it now or it has straightened out since I took this photo (12.11.23). The star is totally crooked, but my husband wanted to leave it. Here is the full Christmas Tree. Oh, you can see the little lighted trees in the yard through the sliding glass door.

I received a gift of roses yesterday. There was so many I opted to put them in two vases. I love flowers and so I was very happy. It was an unexpected “Just because” from my hubby. Such a great addition to our Christmas decorations. So here ya go for today’s Friday Photo.
Do you add flowers or plants to your Christmas decor?

Yes, I AM obsessed with my Christmas tree and my decorations that is why I am posting pictures all month. I love the lights and the sparkle, plus in all fairness, it is for such a short time. Today I was just sitting looking at my ornament tree. Such a random assortment of sparkle. Love it. So, here is another shot.

So, you may have seen my post where I mentioned decorating the ornament tree was not as easy as I had thought when I got it last year. And this is one reason why. First of all the nativity ornament is HUGE so I couldn’t hang a long ornament next to it because it got in the way. Then I had the idea to hang an angel by it (above it) because I thought that was artsy and smart (an angel over the nativity scene), but they (my angels) are all too big and bang against the bulb. I tried a few different things and realized that it was just going to be one of those things that happened. The angel was and is going to hit the nativity ornament. I believe the angel and the nativity bulb are the only ones that hit . . . at least they are the only ones that make a nerve wracking (are they going to break? The sound itself is actually pleasant) noise. But they only snack each other when we are leaning over to plug and/or unplug the tree. Anyway . . . this is an example of why it takes so long . . . because I think I am being brilliant when I decorate. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Anyone else place their ornaments strategically?

Here is our ornament tree. I thought having a metal tree to hang things on would make it simple, but it is a challenge to hang the ornaments. I mean, for me, I don’t want all balls or round ornaments. I don’t want it to end up being all snowflakes or hearts. I don’t want a clump of one color. And some ornaments are big and don’t allow other ornaments to hang next to them. It is not as easy I thought, but I do like it.

I cannot believe I missed a Friday Photo! There are only five Fridays in the month and I missed one. So I decided that I am just going to share a bunch of photos this month. I love lights and Christmas decorations and I spend a lot of time putting stuff up that no one really sees. I am fortunate that I am still Zooming my classes from home so my students see my tree, but if you have been around here for previous Christmases you know I love my ornaments and decorations, so I am just going to post when I want. It is my blog and I wonder why I still try to follow a posting schedule. Here is a picture of the Christmas tree almost done being decorated. It was a challenge.
Do you put up a tree? Do you decorate for the Holidays?

I have been wanting a metal tree to hang Christmas ornaments on for years. But we have a lot of Christmas stuff and we really try not to add to it, plus the tree itself was rather expensive, but I kept wanting one. I kept my eye on it and every year the price went up. Then I happened upon one that was half the price of the original one I have been coveting. I think it might not be as sturdy, but it has a lot more “branches” and places to hang ornaments. So this was one of my Christmas presents this year.
I thought hanging ornaments on it would be easy, but it is not. I realized that it is good to hang the ornaments that are 360 kind of ornaments. Because the tree is so visible from every side it is nice to have ornaments that look pretty from all sides. I was also a bit cautious because this is the first time we have had it and I didn’t how sturdy it would be and I didn’t know how the cats would react. I don’t think they have even looked at it. It is pretty good they pay it not attention since I move one of their scratching things and put the tree there. They just go to the new spot to scratch.
I also had no idea how to hang the lights. I strung them from “branch” to branch where I think it would be cool to wrap them around each branch. I am not sure. I like it, but it took some getting used to. I hope to get better at it each year.
I like the extra added sparkle in the house.
I had taken videos as I was decorating to document what went where in case I did it the same next year. This is the last one starting about 1/3 of the way down.
As you may have seen in my last post I do have other metal ornament trees, but this one is much larger. Do any of you have a metal tree?

How is your Christmas Season / End of the Year going? I am very late decorating this year and also doing less, but it is still so time consuming. I hope you are able to keep your time as stress free as possible. Here is is with some ornaments. Not quite done, but . . . I will have a picture of that later I am sure. 🙂 Plus some of our new tree.

With our living room as my studio for Nia, yoga, and stretch I’ve had to make some adjustments that have displaced some of my Christmas decorations. I’ve had to move some furniture around and my Zoom backdrop is in the way of a table that I normally put up to display a number of Christmas decorations. So . . . I’ve been rearranging things a bit. I just put the small bottle light up tonight, and I thought that it would be the piece that allowed me to be at peace with this arrangement, but I am not sure about it yet. I will have to sit with it. I have still been up and down (there are two ladders involved) decorating so we will see once I have a chance to actually observe it. My original vision was for multi-colored strings of lights. I didn’t have them, but might be able to scrounge them up. Maybe THAT will do the trick.
Christmas decorations continue for Friday Photos in December.
How are you doing so far?
