Well we did it, we decided it was time to start looking like Christmas, even thought it is still November for a few more days. Even the pumpkins busted out the Christmas Spirit....
...and so did the Canadian moose...Then I went to an "Elf" party, based on the movie. Here is Nice...
...and naughty. Saw a great shirt. It said "Dear Santa, let me explain..."...
Melissa and Ivy had the place all decked out. We had to walk through the candy cane forest and dress like an Elf. We ate the four food groups- candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup!Mom picked out this years tree. It was an 8.5 footer. They only charged us for 7.5 feet though because the top foot was just the trunk and would be cut off. It is so big and heavy it is being held to the wall by string. I love the randomness of our decorations, makes me happy. Now it needs some presents underneath.
Both of these teams got embarrassed by the rivals this year, but we are not fair-weather fans and will stick by them! Hook'em Horns and Goooo Cougars...now come fall of 2011 this house might be a bit divided...
Those paper decorations were made by my parents when they first got married. They are old and "ugly" as mom said, but 30 years later they still find a place on the tree!And the Christmas decorations would not be complete without mom's nativity scenes. They come from all over the world.

The tree looks great! Looks like you guys are all ready for the holidays. Wish that we were closer.
Those nativity scenes are neat! And I agree -- hang those ornaments up, even if our teams are doing horribly this year! (But I will say, college football makes me weep this year.)
