O' Christmas Tree...

It is hard to believe that in three days it will be Christmas!! If you did not realize I am CHRISTMAS FANATIC as well. Each year our tree assumes a new role. We have had a "Blue Christmas" "Hard-CANDY Christmas" and this year we have gone nuts with PEANUTS that is!! Our tree is covered in about 40-50 PEANUTS ornaments plus a slew of other fun friends, like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, a Mickey Mouse here or there, just to name a few. There are some ornaments on there from the "TONGUE STICK MOVIE" according to my kids that is "A Christmas Story." It is funny what the kids remember. Also on my tree is some of my new handmade ornaments, Snowmen from Jenn McGlon, Melissa Harnett Ustik, and Carmen from Spooky Hollow Folk Art. Here are some photos...More photos to come Christmas is, like I said before, only three days away---HO-HO-HO!!!
