Christmas in the new place

In our old house it took me about 4 hours to decorate for Christmas. One tree was all we had room for and I knew where everything went each year. This year on the other hand, we've got over 2,000 square feet and I didn't know where to put everything. So, I started last weekend getting everything out and finally finished with the last strand of lights in Wednesday. Ya, nearly 4 days! We have three trees(thanks mom), a fireplace fully decorated, and garland around the banisters. I even put really pretty red lights around the landscape outside...again thanks to my mom for helping with that! Hopefully it won't take me 4 days to take it all down! Our tree in the formal living room is decorated only in vintage ornaments that belonged to our neighbor that passed away and a couple of old ones that were are my moms and one new one I bought that had a Bible verse on it. I love seeing all the great ornaments that belonged to Beryl from her travels and years of marriage and family. She was such a special friend and I'm so happy to have her things in our home. I'm sure they're right at home with her old chairs in the room!
