pasko na, sinta ko

Christmas is officially in the house!

popped in mr. c's One Christmas cd last night and with the strains of "pa-dum-pa-dum" (it's a tradition, yet again) put up the Christmas tree in record-breaking time - 2 hours! that's fast, considering that it's a 10-ft. tree. and that's just decor; the driver put in the lights earlier in the day. took him a couple of hours to do it, too!

not so frilly this year. no glass beads, no poinsettias, no ribbons. just lights, icicles, and balls. lots of balls!

the tree is so busog with balls, i love it! i asked gueli to make sure that each bough had a decor so that it wouldn't be "lonely." he found a lonely branch earlier tonight. needless to say, we fixed the situation.

i'm so tempted to get more Christmas balls. somebody stop me!

must... have... balls!

you mean, no paper mache santa ovals this year? i loved your tree for it's character before. an all ball tree might have to grow on me.

the tree HAS character. on the top hangs migueli's hand-made angel, an art activity from his days in COJ :) it's such a stand out because IT'S IN AQUA!

this year's theme... abundance in simplicity. naks!

there's still time... santa might make it to the tree. who knows?

the tree with santa and the hodge podge reminds me of times when your dad was still around.
