Busy getting my home ready for Santa....Tree went up on Monday night...this year it is a Carolina Cedar...A gift from GOD...it cracked off in a wind storm at my friend Linda's . She already had one up so she gave it to us...I feel Blessed ! We have 5 furry friends who are so CURIOUS..They have been helping UN decorate it ! A challenge this year. I put out my Antique Santa's last night...this morning they were tumbled over, as I picked them up my favorite tall one started playing a tune ! SURPRISE ...I didn't know he did that ! My kitty's and I are both learning.... NO Antique ornaments on the tree this year ! I will post a picture when I get the tree decorated...before they UN decorate it again...
