Ho Ho Ho!!!

I do not have any Christmas decor that comes to mind that was from a yard sale--no, wait a minute, I have things from thrift shops. I have a wooden nativity cut out. I also have a wooden barn plaque that says "flake collector" and has a snowman on it. I like snowman themed items as you can leave them up until the sun shines.

i have slowly started putting christmas stuff out inside the house. i have been so busy making stuff for christmas that i just havent had time to do everything!

I dont have garage sales for anything. My parents will be having one in the next 2 months. Im thinking of adding my unwanted items to their garage sale. We have a big collection of kids games, jigsaw puzzles, books & clothes. You have motivated me with all this christmas discussion. I may not have time this weekend, but after my daughters exams Im going to start with the tree.

Christmas and bargain hunting go hand in hand! I can't say we have gone the garage sale route, yet. But we do wait for the after Christmas sales each year. That is when we stock up for the following year.

Hey Grandpa Bob! I have never met anyone that is so into Christmas as you and your family! I guess that's why my adoption was so important! You just go above and beyond! You have a whole "Santa's workshop" thing going on! And you have the perfect house for it too! It is always the most perfect Christmas setting and I know when the snow comes how beautiful it will look because I can remember it from last year and man was I ever jealous! You are the perfect "Santa's Helper" for sure! And when do you start wearing the "hat"? I can't believe that a whole year has gone by already! I remember so clearly you in that Santa's hat wearing it wherever you went! I really wish I was going to be with you and your family for Christmas!
