It Seems That I Can’t Afford

[eds] @ZedSmart (19839) • Philippines 2 Dec 18

We were looking for tinsel garlands so that we could finish our own made Christmas tree. We shop at the most accessible store within our area but it was unfortunate that the colors that we’re looking for are not available. We look...

This year we are decorating our big tree in a different manner than we have ever done in the past. Because both of the boys were away until just before Christmas - the youngest came home Friday and the eldest will be home...

Flojo Made A Nest In The Tinsel

Do you put tinsel on your Christmas tree?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 19 Nov 07
