The First of the Christmas Festivities

We spent most of today--our last free day before going back to work after Thanksgiving weekend--decorating for Christmas and trying to get into the holiday spirit. While our new Christmas music played, we put up the tree we've used for the past few years and decorated it.

Decorating with new gold ornaments.

It was a lot of work to unpack Christmas decor and pack up the fall ones, but it looks pretty festive in here now.

It doesn't look very Christmasy in the pictures, but I love how it looks when the lights are turned down low.

Looks like they are burning, but it's just the overhead lighting :o

We don't really go overboard with Christmas decorating. The few decorations we have are spread throughout the house, but I keep adding to my collection every year!
