The tree is up - Christmas is here!!

I normally put my tree up at the beginning of December but this year I only got it up on the 10th.  So late for me but I had a few things on that I was occupied with so didn't have the opportunity until now to put it up.

It takes a fair length of time to put my tree up by the time I get it and all the trimmings down from the attic and then get all the decorations on to the tree. But worth the time it takes, I think!

 At the top of my tree I put a Barbie Doll that was given to me by my twin sister.

How amazing is this Barbie?!

After putting up the tree we ate a turkey dinner and watched "Nativity!" on Netflix.  

Christmas is really here in our house!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

It's definitely beginning to feel like Christmas.  On Thursday, I watched one of my favourite Christmas films "The Holiday".  It really made me feel a lot better after a bad day (don't ask!).  

Then on Friday I was finally able to get my Christmas tree up and decorated!

I'm very happy with it.....I don't think I could get a whole lot more on the tree.

And this year I had a new angel for the top.....a Holiday Barbie decked out in red - she goes perfectly with my mish mash of ornaments.

My twin sister sent me pictures of her tree and what a difference!

We both have Barbies at the top of the tree but that is where the similarity ends. My colours are generally red and green while Amy is all about white and silver. I like both trees!
