With the outside decorated, it was time to get the inside done. Like the outside, I keep things simple. I have one bin of Christmas decorations, plus the tree. There is still room in the bin, so I can add some more decorations here and there.

I loved my Hallowe’en gnome bunting so much, I had to get a Christmas one.

Such sweet little gnomies.

You will notice that Skiing Sock Monkey is back, counting down the days for us.

And beside him is a little friend, dressed or winter. He’s new. I found him at the grocery store and just had to bring him home. He’ll probably hang out all winter, not just for Christmas

Same with this little gnome I now have hanging on the livingroom hutch.

He’s so cute, he’ll probably be a year-round resident.

But back to bunting… when I picked up the gnome bunting, they were buy one get one free so…

I got this cute one of Santa’s clothes and hung it on the dining room hutch! Check out Santa’s underpants!!!

And of course, there’s the tree. You may remember we have a small 4 ft tree. The first year we got it, we put it on the ground with no cat issues. Last year we had Lemmy, so it got moved to the plant shelf but it wasn’t high enough…

While I was decorating, Dave was repairing some of last years casualties…

So this year, we put the tree up on top of the hutch.

It made it a little harder for me to decorate (hence no star at the top) but it’s done! Let the countdown begin!
