While the weekend wasn’t exactly mild, the weather wasn’t too bad (for the end of November). I figured I wasn’t going to get a better chance to get my Christmas stuff up outside.

Our Christmas display isn’t nearly as extensive as our Halloween get-up. But I like it. It’s nice and simple and I can get it all up in under two hours (and that’s taking my time).

There’s not a lot new this year.

The arbour got some new garland courtesy of the dollar store.

The reindeer got three small trees added to their forest glade. The trees twinkle too – which was a nice surprise.

The gnome I painted last year finally made it to the porch (though honestly, I don’t think he ever got his clear-coat like we planned)

And Susannah and Gertie got some festive bows. I STILL haven’t made any outfits for poor Gertie! And as you can see – come spring, their poor beaks will be getting a repaint. We found some exterior orange paint on clearance just for them!

There’s lot of little sparkly details wherever you look! But the main question is… how does it look at night?

Pretty darn nice if I do say so myself!

Now… I guess I better get to decorating the inside of the house!
