We've been going crazy (in a good way) decorating for Christmas. :-) We started the day after Thanksgiving, with me decorating countless wreaths, sewing Christmas stockings outa burlap that I recently purchased, hanging untold numbers of strings of lights, and it's beginning to look alot like Christmas! Hubby climbed on the roof and put up farolitos, put lights up in the entryway window, dug out the tree, and made sure we had a beautiful fire in the fireplace each evening as we worked. Very pleasant indeed! Several years ago, we saw a really awesome idea of putting a wreath around a light fixture, and had to do it ourselves. My daughter and I decorated a huge wreath last year and hung it on the chandelier over the dining room table, and it's now a "must-have" every Christmas. We have the one over the dining room table, and this year added one to the entryway light. Everywhere we look, there are wreaths! Hubby kinda thinks I went a little crazy, but it was hard to stop! ha! On one of the blogs I follow, there was a great idea for hanging a wreath on the top rung of a ladder (on the blog, she used a cherry picking ladder - I'm using the southwest ladder that hubby built for me a few years ago), and stockings on the lower rungs. I drew up a pattern, made some stockings, hung the wreath, added the stockings and some greenery, and voila! This is my version, and I love it! This will be another "must-have" every Christmas!
