Thanks to Brenda at the Rusty Thimble, and some Christmas tree photos.

I was lucky enough to win this sweet ginger grater created by Brenda over at The Rusty Thimble.
Brenda is very talented and very generous with her giveaway.  Thanks Brenda!

 Charley wanted to show you his new favorite spot to sleep.  I seriously don't know how he does it!  It is nice and toasty warm. 

 My tree took 4 days to decorate with our crazy schedule over the weekend.  Hubby brought home a beautiful blue spruce and set it in the living room on Thursday evening.  Friday he was going to put the lights on while I went out to a Girls night.  Instead, he took the tree out and got a new one.  The blue spruce had dropped so many needles, we couldn't risk using it. UGH!!  Friday evening, in came the new frasier fir.  Saturday between a wedding and Christmas party the lights were put on.  Sunday it finally got decorated.  Every year I swear I'm going to buy a prelit artificial tree.  Maybe next year?

 The reason the tree skirt never stays put.

Some close ups.  I feel the need to pile the ornaments on my tree.  Someday I'll count them.

I'll post more decorations later. I'd love to see everyone's.
