Tinselled

I've been attacked with tinsel! I arrived home from overseas to discover that my home had been attacked by the tinsel-fairy with incredible taste. She seems to have tossed decorations left right and center and was not content until she had done every last corner of the house. Needless to say, it took me a while to get everything cleaned up. The fox on the top of the tree just made me laugh - he's perched up there so happily!
Even the houseplants all got into the spirit of the season, all sporting their own decorations!
Yesterday, i baked. Hopefully there aren't any chocolate balls in any of my baking, since i found them in the salt pot, the sugar pot and the flour sack and here, there and everywhere over the house!
Yep, there are utensils in there somewhere - it looks like a strange type of snake curled up there.
It seems that the big top has come to town! Or a candy-cane fairy...
My lamp is sporting a fuzzy red hat - sends off a very cozy glow when the light is on.
Tinsel is crawling all over my living room like ivy... it stays up for now!
This was my first inkling that something was up - a trail of stars all through the entrance hallway
My kitchen cupboards all look like presents, wrapped up in red ribbons!
The table is set for dinner - anyone coming over? I'd love to have some company - i'm even so decadent that i have TWO Christmas trees - i believe the second one may be Lauren and Tom's fake tree that has been hiding out in my basement in pieces the last few months - it somehow migrated upstairs and managed to get itself decorated with more tinsel than i ever thought was possible for one tree to carry - you only see about half of the length of that strand - the rest was all stuffed into my closet and nearly attacked me as i went to get my vacuum out yesterday. I had no idea that garland came in such long lengths!
Good thing i didn't just turn the microwave on - something would have lit up and it wouldn't have been the Christmas lights.
Whoever is the tinsel fairy had much too much time on their hands... it was a challenge to get into my drawers for the first little while... Boy, oh, boy, makes you think twice about stating "have fun decorating!" I had to laugh so much when i found all these decorations and had to marvel at the time and effort which was put into the whole process!

Love this! Someone certainly had a LOT of fun. I like how there is a ridiculous amount of stuff at the top of the dining room tree, haha. Merry Christmas :D
