Christmassy

It was very slow going this year, taking down the fall decorations and putting up the Christmas stuff.  It took so many weeks that I transitioned from crutches to being 100% weight bearing.  So, my dream of decorating my Christmas tree on my own two feet, being able to walk around it, came true!!  I'm teetering around like a toddler learning to walk for the first time, but I don't mind.  WALKING!!  That's the really important part!

It's finally all up, though.  And boy howdy, do I have a lot of Christmas decorations.  Thankfully, I've met lots of people on Instagram that have a ton more than I do.  So it makes me feel better about the amount I'm trying to cram into our small space.

I know I'm years late to the party on Instagram, but I'm hardcore addicted now.  I found it durning the months that I wasn't allowed to stand up.  Tiny pictures of other people's decor and thrift/estate sale finds really helped me get through some of those long, painful, 3:00am hours.  I'm also finally feeling well and steady on my feet enough to start tackling estate sales again!!  After a 4 month hiatus!  

So anyway, here are some pictures of my Christmas stuff.  :)

You know you've found a kindred spirit when that person decorates their bathroom for Christmas.  No space left un-jollied!!

This is the epicenter of the crazy.  I can admit that.

So I might have added one or two (hundred) more things this year.  So what?

More kitchen stuff.  Disregard the bags of dog treats and the dog brush.  They are not Christmas related.

The Santa garland and my brand new (to me) Santa honeycomb!

I love this tree that I picked up at the Ronald McDonald sale a few times ago.  It fits so well on my kitchen window ledge.  And the tiny pups are from my awesome friend Daria!  They are a salt and pepper set - with scarves!!

Shout out to my friend Karl who is always on the lookout to add to my (insane) Muppet collection!  These are two Muppet Christmas posters from his childhood that he gifted me.  They are hanging in my living room for the season!

There are lots more thrilling pictures on my Instagram account, which you can find a link to at the top right of my blog.  Also, lots of pictures of my dog.  ;)

So, in Summary:

My house lost the war with Christmas and I'm loving it!
