The Tree....is UP!!!

The...Tree is Up!!!

Tho...my heart...wasn't in it...

 at first...

well....

Christmas... touches my Soul...so...

a...sentimental... time...

 Once...I heard John...dragging things out...

It didn't take me long...to get busy....

I have a Long...way to go....

The Tree.. is up...

and lit...

{nearly three thousand lights...oh my... : ) : ) : ) }

It's Not...Adorned...yet...: )

{I get to Play...with Vintage Ornaments... Tomorrow! }

We got the Old...Street Light...Bell...Up...

 I covered it...with a Wreath... Loads of Tinsel... !!!! : )

and...a Simple Bow...

fashioned from Vintage Gold...Ribbon...

I gathered...years ago....

I, also... hung...the' Christmas Candy'...Banner...

I was so happy to find...at My Sale.....this year...on the front of the Balcony...

{I tried...it in several places... and...it just seemed to fit...there...}

So...much... much more...to add...

I do...Love...this time...of year...

The Music... the Feel...

I can't explain it.... but...

I Melt...with Holiday...

 Christmas...Spirit...

I Truly...truly...do...

Hope... you do...too..

It Feels....Good...

Love...to ya...

It's when...The Old Bell...goes up...
 That's when...I really...'Feel'... Christmas...
I took a bunch...of Vintage Ornaments... and strung them together...several years ago...to form...a 'Clapper'... for The Bell...
I Do.. Love...That Old Bell..
It makes... me...Smile...
a Gift...for my Soul... : )

Got the Wreath...my Friend, Bud...made... on the Newel Post....and all Tricked Out... Loads...of Tinsel...
and a Vintage Bell... Fun...very...Fun...

I put...many Tree Toppers... atop...The Tree...
It always makes me Smile....
to see...
 The Explosion...at The Top...of The Tree....
{Thanks...Jo B. ... for the Inspiration... I think of You...every time...I gaze upon it.. : )  }
