Default Decorating has commenced....

And here are the photos to prove it. My one good kidney was acting up for the past two days so I did more directing than anything...except for the tree, that is a family function.

The 9 footer:



Who knew the GG would put the tree right under the antlers???



Found a purpose for the wasted space above the stairwell:



Mr. and Mrs. Claus:



The kitchen island...simple:



And the stairwell...what antlers wouldn't be resplendent without lights???




Outdoor decor and the village along with the rest of the home will be finished this weekend...

I cannot wait to see other decorations!!!!

Thank you, John and Deb...it was a busy day of it.

Not to worry...the polar bear idea is soundly defeated. He is going out on the morrow to attempt the 'pond' (with blue rope lights) and the 'waterfall' (with icicle lights). I have to set out two trees with lights and he thinks he can light the driveway....(we'll see )
Not to mention that the village has to be assembled yet...we've found that the one table we utilize normally is not going to be enough so we have to resort to some ingenuity.

Piece of plywood or fiberboard 4 x 8, with tablecloth and accents set on couple sawhorses (screw down so dogs don't take off)....or maybe several 4 x 4 pieces tiered so have levels....or maybe bigger size so you can buy more to fill it up???? and absolutely love your Santas...
