I couldn't wait to decorate our home for Christmas this year...the day after Thanksgiving wasn't 2 seconds old before I ripped the fall decorations down and put up the Christmas ones.
by far, my favorite elements are the 75 feet of fresh cedar garland [oh yes, it's nice to live in the pacific nw!] on the front porch and the old garden lantern that I ran to earth in the garage. crammed it full of lights and nestled it in a metal basket on the front porch.

for me, it's tempting to just do it the same every year but since I committed to trying new things in my life I mixed it up just a bit.

below is one of 2 clay santas. I love their skinny orientation and you can definitely feel the soft clay. neat.
