CHRISTMAS PREP: STAGE ONE!

SO I FIGURED ID GET A HEAD START ON MY CHRISTMAS DECOR....TREE IS NOT UP YET BUT WHY NOT GET THE OTHER STUFF UP??!!
BY NATURE, IM A PENNY PINCHER....SO IN MY OPINION, NOT ALL CHRISTMAS DECOR NEEDS TO BE FROM A CHRISTMAS SHOP! EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW.......

DUG FOR THESE SAND DOLLARS MYSELF WHEN I LIVED
IN BEAUTIFUL CHARLESTON, SC

NO I DONT ALWAYS HAVE CAMPBELL'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP CANS IN MY GLASS CABINET YEAR AROUND....BUT HEY, THEY ARE RED AND IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!

WHO SAYS YOU NEED TO BUY CHRISTMAS DECOR WHEN YOU HAVE
RED AND GREEN APPLES????

FOUND THIS FREAKISH LOOKING ELF FOR 75% OFF AFTER CHRISTMAS LAST YEAR...
LOVE HIM!!!

MY MOMS BEST FRIEND GAVE ME THIS ADORABLE NATIVITY SCENE.
THE METAL CHRISTMAS TREES CAME FROM BALLARD DESIGNS A FEW
YEARS AGO.

RED AND GREEN COCKTAIL NAPKINS-WHY NOT? NEED THEM ANYWAY!!

MY WISTERIA.COM CHRISTMAS FIND FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
DURING AN AFTER CHRISTMAS SALE...
ADDED LIGHTS FOR SOME FUN.
