New crazy...er...I mean Christmas....idea

This year, I'm not going to do the 25 days of Christmas like Ali does and that I did last year. Loved it and would like to do it again, but had a different thought this year. I'd like to take a picture (or 2 or 3) each day for 25 days of December. We had all Christmas up by December 1st....thanks to my wonderful hubby. We went through EVERYTHING and was able to eliminate at least 1 rubbermaid. That was such a happy thing. That made decorating not quite so overwhelming. Not sure I ever got it all out, but love my favorites.

December 1st: With new siding last year and some drain tile work, we got new bushes....way too small for lights and I don't like a string running from bush to bush. So they are exempt for a few years. But love my snowman and star.

December 2nd: A cow ornament from by friend CAB.....love getting ornaments out and the memories that come to mind. It's amazing that we only see them for maybe a month each year, but remember so much about the giver, the event, the time. Hoping to share more ornaments in these 25 days.

December 3rd: I won something on a blog and it arrived today. Such a lovely gift and many things that I've never seen or gotten to play with before. Thank you Christine for my gift.....I love reading your blog. /my_weblog/ This is the season of giving and this gift made my day.
