Decorating the Home For Christmas

On the fireplace floor spread One wooden tree Santa and deer The top of the mantel stands Four nutcrackers one very tall Two are the same height short Lights placed on the bottom lit4e A Christmas tree decorated From top to bottom With lights red and white then red and green balls Two red bids are hung Followed by white beads strung Then the gnome is placed on top

My Christmas tree has ornaments, bells, blinking lights, candy canes and a large red ribbon near the bottom. It used to have a glowing star on top but I had to remove it when it longer lights up.

Sounds great, Darlene Pangiexx PS poinsettias can kill cats. Don't give them to people with animals.

a gnome on top, huh? that would be cool to see. Gosh, I have not even begun to think of the tree. I don't enjoy putting it out anymore. Nobody ever comes to the house!!! But I better do it, and the cards too!! I enjoyed the read here.

Hello Andrea, For Christmas we were told the only the people in their homes are to celebrate Christmas. No families visit. We have 88cases of the virus now. Did it increase where you are? Hugs Darlene
