My Christmas Decorations, Part 1
HAPPY EPIPHANY / TWELFTH NIGHT / LITTLE CHRISTMAS / THREE KINGS DAY! (give or take a few hours.) I’ve loved looking at the holiday decoration photos that folks have put on LJ, and now I’d like to post my own.
This is a shot of my sister’s house on a snowy day last year…not during Christmas, but the photo’s so festive that I decided to use it here anyway. This is where we spent the holidays.
Lights and wreath on the front of the house:
In the parlor, where we’ve plugged in the lights on the model ship and on the cat:
Purely by coincidence, the ship is painted in Christmas colors. I added the little lights to resemble the lights strung on real ships for Christmas boat parades.
We had so many playful indoor kitties and small, grabby children this year that we didn’t hang many ornaments on the bottom tier of the tree, so it looks a bit bare. (And kinda “meh” when the camera flash is used, ‘cause you can’t see the pretty tree lights.) And because we also have dogs who are normally house-broken but who love to chew and piss on new, unusual things, we can't use a tree skirt and we have to pile the presents up on the green-covered table instead of under the tree.
Two more batches of pictures coming up in the next couple of posts!
