We got our tree up!

We put our tree up finally. We are doing very many decoration done this year. Hopefully I will feel better soon. But couldn't resist doing a little. Hopefully it doesn't look to bad lol. I am a nutcracker nut. I love collecting them. So I found the ornaments at a craft shop, I was so happy to get them. Most of the nutcracker ornaments are to heavy for a artificial tree. When we got the decorations out of storage, I had a horrible surprise. A rat had chewed up my tree skirt and destroyed my lights. I was so upset! At least it didn't get my cloth ornaments too.

This is our version of "stocking hung by the ...with care". No fireplace for us, I found this stand online and thought it was adorable. Sarah helped me paint the stockings with our names and outlines. I thought we done a pretty good job. I got them after Christmas last year at a steal I paid a quarter a piece for them. I love the after Christmas clearance!!

Bucky got this snowman for me for my birthday. I love it. He plays jingle bells and dances to sound. John hates it but what does he know lol.

If we decide to do any more decorating I will get the pics posted. But I doubt if we will. I am just happy to get what we have up this year done. Usually we go all out decorating but just can't seem to find the energy to do it this year. I hope everyone has a happy and joyous Christmas this year. And truly understands the meaning of the holidays. The birth of our Lord and Saviour. I know historians say Jesus was not born on Dec. 25th. That may be true and may not be, we have no way of knowing for sure. But it is the day we have set aside to celebrate his birth and that's good enough for me.

Have you heard about mouseprint.org?

I came across this site today and am glad I did! With the economy the way it is, we have to watch our dollars. So reading labels to get the best deals are a must. Of course we all have our favorite things we just can't give up right? I am guilty of just grabbing things at times with the motto "I've bought this before" and not paying attention. But some companies are trying to fool us. They are downsizing products in a sneaky way. The packages seems the same but the ounces or sheet sizes are not. Some even add a fancy new gadget to take the attention away from this fact. While the amount is shrinking the price is not! Mouseprint.org is a site that tells us just what products to watch out for. Personally I think these companies have a right to downsize these products but should not try to hide it from the consumers! We have enough to contend with without having companies trying to stick it to use. I say be up front about what you are doing and your costumers will understand. What do you think?
