~ Let the games begin ~


We have barely cleared away the dishes from the Thanksgiving table when 
the Christmas fun begins.

  the dining room table becomes the staging area
as items are moved about the house. 



Down from the attic come boxes

and boxes and boxes. 


 This is where Mr. Wonderful (also known as  Mr. Pack Mule)
 really earns his keep.
Hey you're no help!!
And here......


A little behind the scenes craziness here, 






but trust me somewhere in the midst of all this chaos
is a Christmas House



 Stay tuned.

      Thanks, Loi....I look forward to it too. I'm like you, I get excited when I unwrap all the little treasures and also all the things that I bought at the END of the season and packed away. Every year I say " Oh I forgot that I bought this!! How cute!!" LOL

    What...no finished product?! FOUL!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be having MY Mr. Wonderful playing pack mule this weekend. Isn't it nice to be a girl at times like that? :-D What do you do with all your displaced decor while Christmas has taken over? Can't wait to see how it all turned out!

      Well I use all my Christmas boxes that I just unpacked and store the regular items in there for the season. A few things I have to stash in the back of my closet. But it all works out.

    I'm taking my time this year! Somehow, I don't feel the urgency to get it all done at once!
    Let the decorating begin!....

    Those boxes look like what's around my house! We entertained and got our tree all in one weekend and it was a little too much. Along with a heavy workload.. I'm surprised I got a blog post out! Have a great day Terri and enjoy the seasonal activities.
