And don't worry krikit, I saved MrsCat's pic

Excellent, Trailmix. That looks much more festive. But I think he needs some mistletoe.

gadzooks - that is the most fungal case of hemroids I have ever seen.

Finally got pics taken of my Christmas decor...

Here's my black Gothic tree with evil red lighting

Our "normal" tree with presents. It's decorated by IKEA ornaments given to us by my mother-in-law

The bookshelf covered with all my lovely Catholic kitsch

(lights on)

And my infamous "hanging tree." Unfortunately I haven't figured out a way to light it this year...

Looks awesome Maeve! Love the spiral tree.

Thanks! It was tricky to make and looks a little sloppy, but give a cool effect

so the hubster informs me today that he wants to get a little something for the adults... he said something like a box of chocolates are something but I don't think that is very original.... do you guys have any ideas?.. it would be something in the 5 dollar range...

All of your items are so cool Maeve!

Marilyn, maybe this isn't original either, but why aren't you packaging up some of your baking for the adults, in a little tin? Who wouldn't love that?

I'd head to the Christmas Tree Shop for those kinda things.. they always have super cheap items that I think Man that would make a lovely gift!

OR.. just do DD gift cards (sorry Flames)

you little snoop.. he should spank you for that kind of behavior!

I know I'm terrible!

I can't help it! It's not my fault he's doesn't hide them well. My mom was always the BEST present hider and still is to this day. She'll go so far as to rent out a storage space somewhere just before Christmas. She means business.
