I have just a few last posts to share here of our home decorated for Christmas. Today, it is the Christmas tree.
Last week I shared our Christmas mantel here, and our Christmas kitchen here
A lot of you know that both of our sons play the trombone. Both are pretty good at it too, I must say. I don’t have a lick of musical talent, except for karaoke after a glass a wine or two. Then I can belt out a mean Pat Benetar. Needless to say it is a joy watching them grow, learn and expand their talents. This summer our older boy will be off to drum corp.
He was excepted into the Boston Crusaders and is thrilled and excited beyond words. This year on the Christmas tree I wanted to add a touch of music. Actually it was my husbands idea.
I found cute musical party streamers and added a few of those.
And some pretty sparkly music note ornaments I found on Amazon.
The rest of the tree is black, red and white filled with snowmen, stockings and some Christmas cards I attached with clothes pins.
Another thing I would like to mention is this beautiful book written by a friend of mine Farica West. Farica back in the day used to be a blogger. Now she is a busy author and she sent me this beautiful book. I enjoyed reading it myself. Filled with sentiment and beautiful pictures it really make a beautiful keepsake, and great stocking stuffer. I believe Farica is working on a second book.

I really like the black and white ribboned tree with the red added in for some spunk, Deb!! Such a cozy room all decked out for the holidays. ?
Thanks Sue so much. Merry Christmas.
Very cute, Debbie, and congratulations to your son.
In response to your email today (Oct 27, 2017), yes I still decorate even those I live by myself. Kids grown, don’t even live close by, but I love the holidays and it helps me stay connected to the memories of growing up and then sharing with my wonderful family! Not as much as I did when the kids all were home. I say celebrate with some decor, yes even tree, for the Christmas season!
