Sue is leaving me . . . for the week. This morning, I shall drive her halfway to Toronto, We will meet her sister, Heather, at Tweed and perform a hostage exchange (thanks Jenn). I will return home brokenhearted. ;)
Accordingly, Sue has been getting our place Christmasfied so that it's all done when she returns just in time for December.
There are touches all over the house, but this is the view from our chairs. YouTube runs constantly on the tv with its cracking fireplace. There is also a good chance that Alexa will be playing Christmas music in the background.
The carousel is out and many other decorations too.
Outside, Heather's Christmas wreath has been hung on the door, and the flowerpots by the garage have undergone their seasonal transformation.
It doesn't compare to what some people do, especially outside, but it seems comfy cozy to me.
We also put up holiday decos earlier than usual this year because of our road trip to NJ for Thanksgiving. Ours are not over the top as well, but then it's what makes you happy in your home and I am sure that the decos Sue put up will do just that, bigger is not necessarily better and some folks do go way over the top with the outside lighting and lawn decos.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking fabulous, AC! And so nice that Sue can return to such a pretty home. Think of it as you both being at camp! Only one schedule to manage!
ReplyDeleteWe have nary a decoration up and most likely won't for at least another couple weeks until we have returned.
ReplyDeleteIt's tastefully done and I would expect nothing else! It took me at least a minute to figure out I was looking at a TV!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous! As for Sue's sojourn, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
ReplyDeleteI've used the YouTube fireplace vids also on my TV, while guests were thrilled that I had Some Decorations..which I really didn't. And here (in the US) there's a tradition of putting up the tree after Thanksgiving (which is This week). Your home looks so cozy, indeed! Hope you enjoy being a bachelor for a while! Don't get into too much trouble!
