Does "red" fox count?

Well, just don't tell jwfiv. :)

Lovely Billie.Simply beautiful table. And man, no one is going to get NEAR my kitchen, yet alone me post pix of it! Yours is gorgeous. Looks like something out of House Beautiful.

I hope you post more of your home. Each room that you have something in. All of us would love to see them.

Thanks, dolly - you always say the nicest things. :) I do put a wee bit of Christmas in every room, even if it's just a Christmas music box or Christmas teddy bear on the bed, but the three photos I posted are pretty representative of the kinds of decor we use throughout.

Lori, Billie, I could not play it either. I downloaded a few different things.

:( Sigh. I tried very hard to find a linkable MP3 of Clay singing that particular song. Found a few sites where we could hear only a sample, but that one seemed to let us listen to the whole song. Maybe it's just a very busy site at Christmas time. That CD came out last year, and if I remember correctly, it was a HUGE hit, selling more copies and in a shorter time than any new Christmas album.

it is not your fault re: music.. I am not good/into music on computer. I have a loaded "media" computer which is supposed to do all but many times I try to open something, I get message that I need to download this or that. so I do. I really don't know what I am doing along those lines & possibly am in conflict with one or more programs.being incompatible.

If some are able to open it, you have done your part! can't be resposible for all having or not having various programs.

looking forward to seeing what folks will share over the weekend. Looks like our total snow is about 5 or 6 inches. some places deeper with drifts. So we got off easy.

My source for Christmas Music over the years has stopped working recently (something about not licensed to use) so am against the wall on finding music to use this year. It's getting harder and harder to find wav's that can be linked.

Too late.

The word's out, but that's OK.

Foxes of any color always count ... double ... )

Sorry to just now get back to the thread.

Mornin' Billie. Your decorating should be in the Good Housekeeping Christmas edition. Great pictures! You must have a very big living room with two trees side by side. :)

LOL! Yes, of course, and they're decorated just exactly alike! :) Thank you, Dave. :)

Our decorating is a work in progress. Photos will be posted a little later. Meanwhile, thanks for "Mary Did You Know."

Good - look forward to seeing some Christmas'ing at Diver's home. Glad you could get "Mary Did You Know" to play - at least once (saw your next message) :(

Hi, Colleen - love the way you showed off your Christmas Cards. I used to never decorate until December 10th, but lately try to get it done much earlier - about a week after Thanksgiving I get started so we can enjoy it longer - also easier to get in the mood to bake goodies if it's Christmas'y inside. :)

This post is just beautiful Billie, everything about it including the pledge. Love your Christmas decorations, your kitchen looks immaculate.

Afternoon, Aqua. Thank you - your posts are always so classy, I'm glad you like this one. I don't have a LOT of countertop space, and the granite is so easy to care for and always looks shiny.

This is the wreath on my front door.

What a cute Santa - is your wreath fresh pine or silk? Hard to tell - but I like it!

My source for Christmas Music over the years has stopped working recently (something about not licensed to use) so am against the wall on finding music to use this year. It's getting harder and harder to find wav's that can be linked.

It's strange that today they're not playing, except that maybe there are just too many hits at the same time. I must have clicked on 50 sites yesterday trying to find one I could link to. For some reason, one of them I saved to my playlist is working like a charm, and I didn't download it to my harddrive. But now I can't find that particular site again either, and the one I linked today isn't working for me either. :(

But THIS is what I was talking about with what a huge success his Christmas album was - also his very first album, *period*, was out of sight!

"Dynamite debut: Aiken's first single, "This Is the Night," made history when it sold more than 392,000 copies in the first week and landed at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 2003."

"Happy holidays: Aiken's first holiday album, "Merry Christmas Wth Love," made its debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Holiday Albums chart in 2004. The album also scored the biggest debut-week sales figures for a Christmas album in the history of Nielsen SoundScan, which tracks music sales."

Well, foxes and wolves always count *HERE* at LEAST double, maybe triple or quadruple, and I can't even spell any higher than that. LOL

Watch out! It's mistletoe!

Thank you, wolfie. I'm glad you think so.

Well, of course, doesn't everyone have TWO TREES in their living room? I also have two pianos, two coffee tables, etc in that same room. Oh, wait! I do believe that's a mirror behind the tree. :)
