Countdown to Christmas..... Elves Light the Way

.

3 Days Until Christmas

My neighbors, "The Griswalds," have taken it upon themselves to now decorate the street lights on their street (that is perpendicular to my street) with colored cloth and little elves. So now the whole street is guarded by elves and lit by candy canes.

I swear it can be seen by the ISS.....

 

 

I hope you are enjoying the Christmas decorations in your neighborhood.... and I hope you are continuing to stay safe and sane, my friends.

Countdown to Christmas..... The Landing Strip to Christmas in myNeighborhood

.

8 Days Until Christmas

I have showed you photos of the "Griswald House" around the corner from my house during the day, but now I'd like to share with you what that house and the entire street looks like at night with all the lights lit up. There are even candy canes along both sides of the street lit up making it look like a landing strip for Santa - on Christmas morning, you can see the sled tracks, hoof prints, foot prints up to the houses and even some reindeer droppings near the houses. =)

So tell me what you think... over the top, huh?

Countdown to Christmas.... We've Finished Decorating the Outside of ourHouse

19 Days Until Christmas

 

Bill and I worked all afternoon today to finish decorating the outside of our house and we wanted to share our completed project with you. (Click on any photo to see the whole thing.)

 

 

Welcome to our home - and that is the ONLY kind of snowman that we like to see!

Mickey Mouse wants to welcome you, too - are you surprised to see him?

An overview of the entire front.

The deer we've had for years and named "John Steed" and "Emma Peel" (L to R)

Skating Minnie & Mickey Mouse - they get a lot of attention

Our first gifts  =)

This means a lot to us because it was Bill's when he was a little boy.

We have put it up every Christmas that we have been together.

I hope you are all having a great time putting up your decorations and you share them with me... please leave me a link so I can go check yours out and leave you a comment.

Stay safe and sane.....

Countdown to Christmas.... The Dry Cleaners is Decorated!

.

20 Days Until Christmas

 

 

I went to the Dry Cleaners that Bill works at for a while the past couple of days so that I could help him decorate for Christmas. How do you think we did?

 

It's just a little tree, but it sure is pretty.

It will have gifts under it in a few days. =)

 

 

 

 

So, now all we have to do is finish our decorations at home! How are your decorations coming along? Leave me a link and I'll come over and take a look. I just LOVE Christmas decorations.

 

Be safe and sane.....

Countdown to Christmas..... It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmasin Celebration

21 Days Until Christmas!!

These are some photos I took during my walk with the doggies around the block near our house. I really love the way (most) of our neighbors decorate their houses at Christmas. It really looks beautiful at night with all the lights on. 

I really adore the soldier standing sentry on the porch on the 2nd floor.

This is our welcome mat - you'd never have guessed that, huh?

This is our front door, we had just begun to decorate, it looks much better with all the lights now.

This is the little tree at the dry cleaners where bill works, isn't it cute?

This is the house next door to the "Griswald House" - I think they have taken everything in stride. It looks adorable, without going overboard... I love the Santa and reindeer climbing up the front of the house - too cute!

Hope you enjoyed a view of some of the decorated houses in my neighborhood. I'll post our decorations when we are done with them, and I'll definitely post the "Griswald House" all lit up - or you can wait for the photos from the ISS. =)

Stay safe and sane.... <3
