Good morning Billie.

Good morning - I'm so late today. So little time to do all the things I need/want to do. :(

Good Morning Billie and all!
Love all the Christmas trees you posted and your lovely graphics.
Still no tree yet, this weekend.
One year, I had one of those FAT trees.
LOL...it was huge, went half way into the living room.
Above is a pic of my tree from a couple of years ago.

Cool Pledge this morning, Billie.
Cold wind blowin' in today in the neighborhood. Turning on the Christmas tree lights seems to create a nice warm setting, though.

Good morning, Miss Bilie...today's thread is just precious and wonderful and really puts me in the mood for Crhistmas...makes me want some eggnog, too, for some reason...)

And...I just love the little Hostess Angels singing Joy to the World.

You give much joy to Freeperville...thank you, Santa's Helper Billie Blue...)))

G'day to all the Finest...)

Oh how pretty! Some of those pictures really gave me a warm feeling!

For humor, my boys hung some halloween decorations on our tree when we decorated this weekend. I really am taken aback how true some stereotypes are. What typical boys!

[Calpernia]

A song from our hostesses!

[Calpernia]

That is a sweet picture!

[Calpernia]

Oh! I haven't even thought of making eggnog yet! Thank you!

[Billie]

Hi, Colleen - thanks for posting your beautiful tree with sweet Lucy in front of it. Do you buy 'real' trees or have you also gone with the artificial ones?

I used to buy real, but for the past several years have put up a beautiful, 'real-looking' one. :) If I only had a closet I could put it away fully decorated! (Don't laugh - my sister-in-law does - it's on rollers, and she just rolls it away! It's gorgeous!)

"You give much joy to Freeperville...thank you, Santa's Helper Billie Blue...)))"

I agree, jwfiv! And this thread also puts me in the mood for Christmas.
Have a good day.

I jumped the gun and had my first little carton of eggnog over Thanksgiving...yum...)

[deadhead]

Thanks Cal and thank you for the pretty song.

How beautiful! Also, I *love* the hostess graphic - I have my purple socks and bow on - LOL!

Thank you for the different scenarios depicting trees. We don't put one up because we are home in FL for the holidays each year. I can live vicariously through the ones that you have shown. (Love the "where's the tree?" photo - ROFL!)

We received our *first* ever Christmas Card from the White house this year. .45MAN was tickled because I made such a commotion about it. I was especially impressed that the postmark was Crawford, TX. How very cool! :-)

Love and (((((((HUGS)))))) to all. Hope y'all have a great day!

For my fuzzy brothah - [[[[[{{{{{(((((Louie_Wolfie_Man)))))}}}}}]]]]]
