If I make it small enough, I might be able to put it on top of our printer which is right below our TV. We did have some really cool stuff in Edinburgh and we have even cooler stuff in the States but I know we'll manage on not much decor. I'm fine with just filling the space with mind numbing amounts of Christmas music!<br /><br />Andrea, the thing is, we really do only have one room. Our living room and dining room/kitchen is shared so we can't do anything with them. Branden figured that we can put a little tree on top of our dresser. It is what I currently call "the wedding shrine" as it has our cake stand with a bunch of wedding photos on top. If we just put the wedding photos away, the silver cake stand would make a pretty stand for a little tree! And thanks to Pinterest, I can probably make all of our tree decorations out of toilet paper rolls! lol<br /><br />Scope, I've just seen the lights in Bellevue which are incredible but never at the Botanical Garden. A couple of years ago, I got to go to the Butchart Gardens Christmas lights in Victoria, BC and it was outstanding (even though it was buried in snow!).<br /><br />Paige, I burn myself out too...but typically not until mid February ;)Padded Cell Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179138500397929437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360721603569524545.post-24926990239696084582011-11-15T05:09:57.452+00:002011-11-15T05:09:57.452+00:00I love Christmas music too!

Make some salt dough and make a little manger scene.. Bake it.. paint it and set it on your counter, window seal, or table. Believe me it helps. Then make some American treats and wrap them up for your neighbors and church people. No it's not all your decorations but I promise you that it will make you feel more cheerful. I've been where you are kiddo and it sucks but you can still have fun with this.

Being apart from our families may be tough but we also are our own little family so no matter how small, we still are with 'family'.<br /><br />Boomer, Leavenworth is beyond picturesque. I've been to Aspen in the summer and it's gorgeous there too! I can only imagine how pretty it must have been covered in snow.Padded Cell Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179138500397929437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360721603569524545.post-89853659753848757342011-11-14T17:49:57.528+00:002011-11-14T17:49:57.528+00:00Spider Meadows is an incredibly beautiful place!

Living in Houston we never have the chance for a Christmas like that. We took everyone to Aspen once for the holidays. It was the first time our kids were actually in measurable snow. When snow falls in Houston it usually melts as soon as it hits.Bodaciousboomerhttp://bodaciousboomer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360721603569524545.post-11128339625715288642011-11-14T16:29:15.295+00:002011-11-14T16:29:15.295+00:00All that counts is being together!!!All that counts is being together!!!fishduckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334973392362918928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360721603569524545.post-75941774557984920082011-11-14T16:04:44.482+00:002011-11-14T16:04:44.482+00:00Stephanie, I had someone else tell me this week th...Stephanie, I had someone else tell me this week that they thought my mom-in-law looked like me. When I told her this, we both laughed really hard because we can't think of two people who look more different from each other. However, we both have young, playful spirits so I could see how you could see that and even through a photo, the eyes do tell ;)<br /><br />Joshua, But you are lucky and have little ones to enjoy it with! I think Christmas is so much fun with small kids because they make the whole experience magical! Of course I've never had to be the parent to take them home after all the sugar cookies, pies, candy canes, and coco...so I guess I could see where the desire for a quiet Christmas would come in.Padded Cell Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179138500397929437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360721603569524545.post-72270478795557088522011-11-14T14:28:43.939+00:002011-11-14T14:28:43.939+00:00I don't know.
