Christmas decorating, 2014




Is it just me, or does it seem like nothing much changes in the Christmas decorating sites.  Not sure what all I will do this holiday, but I never am !   I always just go until I see that one thing. That one magical inspiration.  Hopefully in time for the holiday to share with all of you. Lets recap some back years, so we don't redo.... we did ...........the  $ store tree and decorations.

 The Chicken wire tree and decoration...
 



and,
the BLACK tree

and the list goes on. Check out old post for other years past.  SO. What's it going to be this year ? Any suggestions ?    T.
