The Christmas Tour Continues

The tour continues today and I am moving into our center hallway. 

One of my favorite pieces of furniture is my yellow painted desk. 
I usually decorate this desk with my Dee Foust snow people, like here.
This year, I wanted to switch things up though.

 I sent out a distress text to my husband while he was shopping at Walmart... 

"Are there any fake Christmas trees there, maybe 3 feet high or so?" 

 Believe me, this was a dangerous text.
 I have waaaaay too much Christmas stuff already 
and he makes me know it every chance he gets. 
This was a real risky move on my part.

Believe it or not, he responded with little fuss
and he came home with a little tree, 
which was exactly what I was looking for. 

Up into the attic I went,
digging through my old boxes of unused Christmas goodies.
I found the box holding all my pretty glass bulbs.

Then I had a grand time decorating this little tree:


It's so colorful, I love it!

 Now if you would please follow me up the stairs behind this tree...


Do you see them yet?


There they are!
A couple of silly elves!


Yep, they're up to no good, I can tell.

This tree is upstairs in the hallway.


Both of my kids bedrooms are up here,
so it was only fitting to give them a tree of their own.
It's filled with all the ornaments they've collected over the years,
from their first Christmas ornaments to those from recent years.
(I'm just noticing I need to fix those lights on the bottom.
I hate that the cord is so obtrusive.)


Where else can you find Chewbaca, Phineas & Ferb, 
and the Hunger Games Mockingjay, 
living happily together like this?
Heehee!

Once again, I thank you for visiting me today.
I have a few more things to show you,
then the tour will be complete.

Have a Holly Jolly kind of day!

  3. You need to give the guy points ;) he could have brought a miserable that size tree. But he went and brought a winner. Turned lovely and so easy and unobtrusive in that space.
    Love it!
    And the kids tree is too lovely and fun to even comment on it.
    You're The Best Mom!
    Happy Holidays Gina!
