I couldn't imagine this Christmas morning without a few twinkly lights and such, so I had to do something to make the place look festive. I bought some baubles at the craft store, had Mike bring down the boxes of decorations from the attic, and set about arranging a little holiday cheer.
I hung the stockings,
put up my Celtic nativity,
and even the fireplace dragon got into the spirit of things.
(we also have a realistic sculpture of a human skull, now wearing a Santa hat. The photo was creepy, so I'm not posting it)
I'm feeling a lot less bah humbug now.
UPDATE: Mike insists I show my readers the creepy Santa skull since he had to wrangle kittens to get the photo. Also, he likes skulls. We have one (not real!) in our freezer. Long story. Anyway, click here to see my husband's contribution to the Christmas decorations.

Hey Mike, COOL SKULL!! Sorry,I don't see the dragon,maybe I'll look tonight when I inbibe some... Merry Christmas to you all.
Breda,
The place looks great. Very festive!
And I agree with Chris - the skull is cool.
You've inspired me. I'm gonna put up a Christmas picture or two from the G. household...
Merry Christmas!
look at the bright side, as least your hubby likes to decorate...albeit a tad odd...but I'm sure the goofy grin on his face made it all worth it...
but why are all the stocking on only one side of the fireplace?
Hope you have a great Christmas.
Christmas needs more dragons.
I LOVE that dragon!
We too have a human skull, named george, who lives in one of our book cabinets. His lid pops off....
Took every bit of willpower to not use him as a candy dish this year.
I know... creepy... but he's been with the family so long, he gets his own junk mail here.
Mike was right...the skull is fine.
For some reason, this year we didn't decorate the tree with the little teddy bears in bondage wear. I guess the grandchildren are getting old enough to ask questions, or we're getting conservative in our old age.
Jeffrey - your bondage bears would win the "most original tree" award.
