Can you really get into the holiday spirit when it's 75° F out, you're dressed in shorts and a tank, and there's not a cloud in the sky? Isn't is supposed to be cold and snowy, so you can get all bundled up in woolly hats and scarves, and drink hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire?It's all a little weird!
Anyway, we picked up this year's Christmas Tree (dressed in gym clothes). Got it home. Let is settle. Tried to make Bentley understand that it wasn't a new plaything. And then trimmed the bugger!
My theme is cartoon characters, with purple and silver accent colors... very cutesy, I know!
Having trimmed the tree however, it still feels somewhat incomplete and unfinished. One problem is that most of my (primarily Hallmark) ornaments are small, so it takes an awful lot of them to fill up a 7 foot tree. I've been collecting for years, and it still feels like I don't have enough!I've just bought a bucket full of "sparkly" silver pinecones and some silver and purple ribbon (which I always swore I'd never buy - but it was part of the K-Mart's Martha Stewart Everyday Collection, so how could I resist?) to add those finishing touches. When finally combined with my homemade tree-topping Miss Piggy fairy I'm hoping for a truly magnificantly decorated tree!!!

Truly fabulous! The second finest tree in West Hollywood!

I'm over Christmas. After my meltdown in Trader Joe's (upon hearing Christmas music) I've decided that I'm boycotting it next year. I'm so sick and tired of the sad Christmas music. It's not enough that I have a reminder on a daily basis I'm alone. NO! I have to have fucking Gene Autry singlng about it.
I did the Honolulu Marathon yesterday and it never felt like Christmas there - so that's where you can find me next year. (I won't be doing the marathon... I'll just be in Hawaii for the month of December.)
Bravo!!!! I love the tree-topping pig! (and I'll resist the urge to make jokes on that line... LOL)
We went to Puerto Rico for Xmas the year after my Dad died. It didn't feel like Xmas being 90 and tropical - but that is what we wanted. For me Xmas is still very hard having lost him - being in Boston and trying to have the New England Xmas we had for 25 years is too much... so we're going to San Fran this year! :-)
God - I love that miss piggy thing... where on earth did you find it? and is it "an action figure" or a doll ornament ;-)
What a big girl you've become! Ummm ... is that Miss Piggy taking it up the ass on your tree? Very festive.
Find it? I made it... it's my very own Martha Stewart-esq creation, cobbled together from yes, an action figure and a fairy I picked up at CVS!
