Between now and the end of December…. I want to include/encourage everyone to share their outdoor AND indoor Christmas (Holiday) decorations for Outdoor Wednesdays.

Greenery in the form of trees, wreaths and garland are from outside…… and they are inside for the holidays… yes, I am stretching the definition of Outdoor Wednesday…. but I can!!!

Other Outdoor photos are welcome (as usual).

----------------------------------------------------------

It is December! The kids and I headed to get a tree. They had lots of trees to pick from…

  1. Wow that is a big one, very lovely. I am sure everybody enjoys not only the product but the process of doing it! It is also a very good bonding moment for them.

  2. I really miss the smell of a real tree! We had our worst fights putting up the tree...it always fell over and my husband would get frustrated and I would get mad because he was a grouch! I have to say, things did get more pleasant when we switched to faux, but it really just isn't the same!

  5. Wow, a great tree. It is so unfamiliar to see people in t-shirts picking out their Christmas Tree! Here in the great White North (Canada) our trees are covered in snow, and we are wearing about 4 layers of clothing!
