Since a lot more of us travel for work anymore, we had to have Christmas a couple days early last year. Which was okay, but it made it seem off. I mean, there are other, more pressing reasons that Christmas was off last year, but I'm not going to get into that.
We rushed home the Monday before Christmas - which was our Christmas Eve - and started baking like crazy. We made 4 different types of cookies, plus prepped Christmas dinner for the following day. We also open gifts on Christmas Eve, so we had that to do later in the day. All in all it was fairly uneventful and chilly. No snow, of course, but at least it wasn't in the 60s like Christmas of 2019.
So here are a few dozen photos from November and December of random decorations and, of course, the tree. Here's a belated Merry Christmas to you all!
Our massive Christmas village - this was a first for me!
The Christmas village street lights were a pain to line up.
The Christmas village skating rink is a blur.
Our smaller, bare Christmas tree.
Christmas lights over one side of the cabinet.
Christmas lights over the other side of the cabinet.
These adorable little wire Christmas trees come in a 2 pack from Dollar Tree. We've had them for a few years now and I think they're adorable.
Gotta have our Hope ornament.
And our Peace ornament.
And our Faith ornament. I also love the Christmas lights in the background. Amazing bokeh with this lens.
Did I mention that we now have a fence around the house? Well we do and we decked it out with Christmas lights this year.
I love these super bright LED Christmas lights.
I had a lot of fun playing around with the bokeh/Christmas light combo with my 35mm Nikon lens.
Our super decked out kitchen window. Talk about Christmas spirit.
I was obsessed with the Christmas lights at night.
And playing around with Christmas light bokeh is a blast.
Beautiful red and green Christmas ornament.
Snow man ornament.
Leaf ornament.
Cardinal ornament.
The following photos are random Christmas decorations from around the house:
Now some Christmas portraits of our dog, Max:
He's very camera shy.
He has the most adorable Boxador face.
He's a boxer and lab mix, obviously.
Our gorgeous multi-colored Christmas tree.
Definitely one of my fave trees.
Turtle pecan Christmas cookies.
Reece's Pieces peanut butter cookies.
More turtle pecan cookies.
Gotta have some Christmas sugar cookies.
The following are some homemade Christmas decorations:
Our Christmas lighted archway into the kitchen.
The lighted garland around the door to the garage is my favorite.
A homemade Christmas wreath.
And to round up my Christmas photos of 2020, a landscape photo of our Christmas tree.
