Mission Accomplished

I think y'all have figured out that I am a HUGE fan of Christmas. I love everything about this season. The shopping, the baking, the fellowship - and most especially the decorating.

I use a LOT of red at Christmas. I don't know if I love red because it reminds me of Christmas or if I love Christmas because it gives me the opportunity to use so much red. Either way.....I'm in hog heaven.

And I like to decorate every single room. EVERY room. In fact, my Christmas from Mama Vi this year is a gorgeous Christmas bed set - sheets, comforter, pillows - for my guest room. I cannot WAIT to put that out next year.

I like to see Christmas where ever I look.

One thing I've always wanted but never found was a Christmas shower curtain. Oh, they're out there.....I just couldn't find one that I *loved*.

Until last night.

Now, I should explain something. I am a HUGE fan of Santa Claus. Always have been. But I don't like the cutsie Santas. I'm more of a traditional or old world kinda girl.

So when I saw THIS I knew it was for me. It was EXACTLY what I'd been looking for all these years.

I am over the moon. My living room looks beautiful. There are a few "touches" that I need to add, but I know exactly what I want so next year will be even better. My kitchen just makes me smile - a few pretty rugs, garland, lights, ornaments and some beautiful nut crackers. Add in some poinsettias and a small tree - it's perfect. I can't imagine changing a thing. I haven't done much in the dining room but...next year? Oh yeah...it's all laid out in my minds eye.

Now - the bathroom will be exactly what I've been wanting.

This...this obsession of mine is why I start decorating so early. It takes a week to get everything settled the way I want it. Then, if I'm working that hard, I want to enjoy it. So you get start the weekend of Thanksgiving and leave it up til the weekend after New Years.

And this year? This year I'm thinking the big "score" is that shower curtain. I cannot WAIT for it to get here.......
