The Storybook Tree
Last night, when the kiddies were all tucked in their beds, Tony and I got the Christmas out. As we are trying to sell our house, we just got the tree and the stockings out, and one or two other little things, but I feel better now having it out.
This years tree is a story book tree. It has all the books on it for which we have coordinating toys: Elmo, Biscuit the puppy, Grinch, Curious George, the sheep books, Mickey Mouse, Maisy the mouse and so on. It really turned out great! What do you think? I do a different theme tree every year and usually try to do something with what I have on hand, which means ‘on the cheap’.
Elly wandered into the kitchen with me this morning, saw the tree, gasped and froze.
“It’s Merry Christmas Day!” she said. I explained that Santa came last night and hung the stockings and put the tree together for us. If she’s really good, Santa will come back and bring her presents.
Hmmm…
LOVE the tree. And I can not let my hubby see that you have a Paddington or he will stage a raid on your house.
