...to send happy wishes to friends. Thanks Jen, for sending a card that co-ordinates so well with our silver tinsel trees! I love it when a plan comes together.
....to count down the days with anxiety, or impatient glee. Depending of course, on which side of the generation gap you fall.
....for sweet little elves to march in parades.
....and whisper secrets to Santa.
....for sugarplum fairies to welcome you in. I'm loving this addition to my favourite wreath. Genius? Why yes I am!

....to cut down big-ass lopsided trees and dress them up like a drag queen.
...for new stockings, hung by the fire. And just so you know, I'm much better with puffy fabric glitter than I am with MS Paint!
...for jolly old elves. My dad made this one for me for Christmas last year, and from now 'til forever it will be my favourite ornament. You know you love it too.
for pinecones and disco balls and candy-canes.
I love me some disco glitter. What do you want? I was born in 1975....
...for secret workshop projects. Bad asked Santa for a train table for Christmas, but Hubs and I had a few reservations. They're generally ridiculously priced and only sturdy enough to withstand average children. While we will encourage Bad not to jump and dance on it, we do try to live in the real world. Also, we were worried about Santa getting it stuck in the chimney. So Hubs built a tank of a table, and I painstakingly painted the storybook topography that no one will ever see under all the trains. Then I rearranged all the furniture in the living room so there will be somewhere to put this on Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope that wherever you are, it's filled with Christmas cheer. Here's last year's post if you want still more...and don't forget to check out all the other stops on this year's tour.

Oh my gosh, there are just so many great things to admire.
I love those silver trees on your mantel. And, YES, I did plan my Christmas card so that it would match your decor.
You definitely have a Bigger Ass tree than I do, so kudos to you for getting that thing up and decorated.
ummm, my tree is embarrassingly small next to yours. We did a black and white tree,with a few Vancouver Canuck ornaments on it, but still, it seems rather,, um,, inadequit,,, and I probably didn't spell that right which makes it worse...
I love your tinsel trees and the disco balls.
I was born in 1976... I get it.
We do a fake tree around here and I am wishing we did the live kind. So much more festive!
Love it, especially the train table!
I am totally in love with the Santa your dad made. It's wonderful! And you have gorgeous kids!
The COLORS! I adore it all. The disco balls rock.
must.have.disco.balls. Your home is fantastic!! I love the wooden santa sculpture also. There's just too much to love--very well done badness!
And that is why our train table stayed on the other side of the country when we moved. Seriously.
Love the house!
OOOOO...now I want some silver tinsel trees!! And I love your bright blue door with sparkly wreath...I am all about the sparkly!
Beautiful job on the train table. He's going to love it!
I have disco balls on my tree and I'm older than you! (Wait a minute, I actually lived through the disco era. I just blocked it out!)
I love your count-down calendar! Did you make it?
My dad had trains and he used to set them up running around the base of the Christmas tree - thanks for bring back the memories!
Love the decorations! I have to ask, the candies on the bus, are they balloons?
Love your post! So many great things to look at. I love all the creativity in your family.
Love it!! Especially the elf your dad made you. And the reference to dressing your tree up like a drag queen. :)
I don't think your 9' tree is anything to sneeze at! Gorgeous! And I love the sugar plum fairy.
Bring on the disco balls! The more the merrier!
Nice big ass tree!
I adore your Santa ornament and will forever covet it!
The tinsel tress are great and I love the bowls of ornaments and cones and stuff.
Great decorations and photos. I really like the wrapped candy on the school bus.
He will love the table.
LOVE the bowl with the brightly colored ornaments and disco balls. Totally my style (and I don't have the child of the 70's excuse)
Happy holidays!
Santa met our kids at the door to the school -- and the crossing guard had a stocking hung up on the sign full of candy canes.
I loved the tour!
Your house is decorated so gorgeously for the holidays... have a very merry Christmas and wonderful New Year!!!
