BooMama Christmas Tour of Homes 2008

As usual I am late to the party. I was unaware of BooMama's Christmas Tour of Homes 2008 until I logged in this morning to read Callapidder Days blog. As I scrolled down my list of updates, 5 Minutes for Mom posted and then Blessed...you see the pattern? So I mosey on over to BooMama's place and see a delightful sight! I'm in awe of the beautifully decorated homes. I use to be that person. When Hubby & I first got together we had a full 100 Acre Friends Village. The decorating we do today pales in comparison. There is always next year. Enough talking, more pictures, right?

The stockings are hung ... minus my lighted garland that didn't light up for us this year.

My Stampin' Up demonstrator made this Santa garland for our swap!

My favorite holiday decoration is my Nativity Scene!

Hubby swears our tree has seen better days, but every year it looks just as great!

Despite my children's pleas, I still put my beautiful angel atop the tree. They would rather have a star.

For your feasting pleasure, I present (minus a picture)...
