I have a mantel!
So far, just my, Morgan’s, and Weston’s stockings. I will find something to use to hang up Ross’s stocking soon. He might be coming home for Christmas, I’m not sure yet.
I also have some mismatched lights on the porch. It’s all I have.
And wait till you see my tree. It’s one of those ideas that causes Morgan to say things like, “You’re so insane.”

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Maybe your “best former owners” left you some Christmas lights? Just wondering!
Can’t wait to see your tree! I am sure it is beautiful. My father used to say, after a long day of trudging through the woods to find one, “Any tree is a beautiful Christmas tree once you get it up and decorated”. We had many lopsided, uneven or leaning trees…and every one was beautiful!

Your mantel is very nice, and the stockings hung with care—–and above is a picture of one of your favorite people.
We are all looking forward to seeing your tree, I am wondering if it will be an evergreen or something different, it will be fun to see your tree this year, your Christmas trees are always so pretty——— a Charlie Brown tree would be special in your new home.
Please take a photo of your porch after dark.

An upside down tree is an awesome idea! This ‘Silly “Gahmie”‘ just might have to do this…!

The TV distracts from the mantel, plus, don’t you get tired of looking up to watch it? LOL!
I know you’re still working on the house and getting everything situated and decorated, so please, please don’t take offense! You are SOOOO lucky to have landed on your feet in this wonderful place and I look forward to reading more!

I have a friend who is always saying “I’m crazy and I know it”. Laughing we tell her “It’s a good kind of crazy”. She lives outside the box. Never meets a stranger. Always has loads of stuff going on. So whether crazy or insane (the good kind) you are the people who make the world go around.
Can’t wait to see your tree.

We have a tv in nearly every room of the house, I also like to have the “company” I rarely sit and watch unless it is a program I really enjoy, this time of year I enjoy the Christmas shows, I also have the music channel on–it is a personal choice of how we like to entertain ourselves, and I for one enjoy my “company”. There is no hiding the tv screen, so why worry about it? Life is too short.
