Years ago I made<br />200 Chrismons and for 5 years Churches ask me would I decorate their tree. I decorated 5 Churches in Charlotte 3 Methodist, Lutheran, and<br />Baptist. It is a lot of trouble but they are beautiful on the tree.<br />So this year I have a small tree, door decorated and poinsettias displayed in pots I think that is enough. It is CHRISTmas season<br />shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-63628643504856329312015-12-07T21:27:59.619-05:002015-12-07T21:27:59.619-05:00I like the pictures of the lighted cars.

The last Christmas tree I decorated was when we lived at the ranch. It was all western and country with little boots, hats and such. Rope for garland etc.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-69599858006495307412015-12-07T14:57:38.110-05:002015-12-07T14:57:38.110-05:00I'm glad to see your mention of December 7, Ja...I'm glad to see your mention of December 7, Jack. Tho' I wasn't around, that was a pivotal moment in my parent's lives; if I close my eyes and try really, really hard I can still hear their reminiscing.<br /><br />That was a cute story about your momma changing her mind $5 too late!<br />... and that phrase being used and re-used?! What a cute fashion for her legacy to live on and on.

Too cute with the line your mom said; I think I would have agreed with her myself :) <br /><br />These days I enjoy looking at the displays that others put up. When we lived in the San Diego area there was a block that was kind of like a circle. Years ago the residents there all decided to decorate for Christmas. It used to go for a month starting after Thanksgiving to New Year's Day; now its only 2 weeks before Christmas and stops Christmas night. They call it "Candy Cane Circle" and all the houses have at least 1 candy cane in their display. I imagine if a house goes for sell on that street, the people who buy it are probably told of the tradition; but over the years there have been houses that have not been decorated. I don't think I could live on a street like that and have to worry about coming home at night and being in the lines of traffic to do so :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-74150936804484551062015-12-07T10:17:35.282-05:002015-12-07T10:17:35.282-05:00We like walking through stowe botanical garden at ...We like walking through stowe botanical garden at christmas.
