Christmas at the Groseclose House!

Wow....Its been two months. BUT I PROMISE FROM NOW ON TO BLOG MORE ACTIVELY!!!

Well Christmas is almost here. Came so quick. I love Christmas, not only because of the gifts (80G Ipod Classic and a Kyocera Wildcard are what I asked for the most), but because of the happy feeling it brings. The music, the decorations, christmas lights, its all so happy. Like always our house is decked in decorations.
First:
Our little Christmas house village. Every year my mom goes to the craft fair and comes home with a nice little house to add to our village, this year she said the man who makes them wasn't there, it was sad not having a new one, but the village lives on.
Second:
The snowman display, stockings, and the little christmas tree. My mom loves Snowman so she has a bunch of them (duh) and each year on the mantle we put up that snow stuff and snowman. Stockings, we REALLY need a new stocking holder. A peg is missing, the rest are getting to that point. Its cute and has a little saying on it, but really, it needs to go. Our little christmas tree. No, this is not our real tree its just a little fake one we have that we hang antique ornaments on and ones we get as gifts, its really pretty, especially when lit up.

Third:
THE TREE!!! Oh yes, the tree, sitting next to piles of presents. There it sits wrapped in beautiful lights and gorgeous ornaments and....................... sadly...... TINSEL. Putting tinsel on the tree is always a big conflict. My mom likes it because its old fashioned looking and "sparkles". Us children (Lauren, Scotty and I) all agree that it is hideous and just hangs on the tree like some dead thing. Last year we won the battle and the tinsel didnt go up, but this year, we werent so lucky, and up the tinsel went.....maybe next year?
