We will do this again this year in full Christmas decor mode. It sure does make the month a December so less stressful. Plus the house has that cheery attitude for two months instead of one. Turn on the twinkle nights and put the Christmas channel on the sound system and we're good to go.

Thank you for verifying for me that I'm not completely nuts for wanting to start Christmas in November.
After all, the reasons for Christmas should be celebrated year round really, right ?

Your ladder is adorable!

Now I have to know what did you do with all the Little Trees once the Holidays were over last year? I have them on my list this year, but afterwards?

Thanks for sharing Courtney!!

Huggs, Nancy

Last year I ended up having to change the greens because they got so dry. I will probably start a day or two before Thanksgiving-upstairs. Then I will decorate downstairs on Black Friday. The big tree will go up the weekend after Thanksgiving. It will be the last thing. I can't wait to see what you will be doing.

Smile.. Sometimes I love everything, but know I must audit.

I love getting ideas early so I will already have things worked out in my head on how I want to decorate. In fact, I got some great ideas today when I browsed through the PB Holiday catalog that came in the mail.
BTW…. I love how you used the ladder to hang your stockings and wreath. That would be great idea for someone who doesn't have a mantle.

I luv the Christmas decor… I am in planning stage. Told my Mr. we needed a new tree and we went shopping, well eye shopping. Wouldn't you know, the one he luves is $279.. the one I want is no longer being made 🙁
I want to do a nature themed tree this year… we'll see.
Luv your ideas Courtney! Beautiful…
Hugs, Gee

I have a village that I put up and that takes a long time so I will have t get cracking. Many thanks for a lot of your ideas. Your decorations are beautiful. Have a great Halloween…..
Mary
