My House is Christmasy

Here is what I managed to throw together for Christmas decor this year.  Yeah, it looks almost exactly like last year.  Sue me for not being that creative or making any crafts.  

I put one of our old window sashes on the piano for a makeshift xmas card and stocking holder.  I think I may keep it there after the holidays, too.  It's slightly crazy.  It looks much better in person. 

I love how the candle lights up this silvery tree.  I like to stare at it during stupid tv commercials.  When I'm not blogging, of course.   

Our tree is pre-lit, and one strand of lights blinks on and off.  It is maddening.  It's actually a problem with a bulb socket, I may do a post later on about the trials and tribulations of trying to fix it.  But don't hold your breath. 

And here is how it looks while the strand is out.  I'm sure you are fascinated. 

I need to give a close-up to the ridiculous Pier 1 pickle that I won from the lovely Lindsay.  It really is a scream!  Too bad my red hoodie got reflected in the ornament....

I went a little 'crazy' and added some teal ribbon to the banister this year.  And snowflakes.  I'm such a Christmas ninja.

NINJA SNOWFLAKES.

Now all we need is some Baileys and movies on demand.  Who's with me??

**I just realized the only part of the living room that didn't get 'Christmased' is our fireplace mantle.  Yeah, I'm totally backwards.**
