Christmas Decor

Just a couple of blocks from where I live,
there is a tiny tyny Xmas market.

You have Adirondack chairs, Xmas trees and open air fires.
 I love the smell of a wood fire.


There's also a heart with a rocking chair, but no Santa.
It seems everyone can be Santa....
NO! I
Xmas is Xmas! I want Santas, stars, baby Jesus, the virgin Mary
and the whole kit and caboodle!

 What is wrong with people?
You want to celebrate Hannukah? Kwanzaa? or Diwali?

GO AHEAD, BUT JUST LET ME CELEBRATE XMAS
THE WAY I LIKE IT!!!

For some reason, here in Montreal there is a lot of tension over Holiday
Decor....
Some town halls decided to take down their nativity scenes to avoid controversy and
some libraries took down their menorahs.

How about we just celebrate our own holidays in peace?

I prefer the melting pot and all its flavors!

After all variety is the spice of life!

On the thrifting front here are some pics of
tackylicious things I left behind!

 I left them behind because there were kind of cruddy

 And broken and sad.
And that is too bad because they had a lot of 
tackylicious potential!


And here is my 2015 Xmas tree!

The 2016 tree is taller.
I started decorating it today.

Picture to follow!

Sleep tight!

I love your tree! I finally have hubby convinced (after 11 years of marriage) that we are getting a real tree next Christmas. Now I have to find a bunch of lights and a stand for it! I agree, everyone should be able to celebrate whatever they like - we don't have to regulate everything!

Oh I've left some tacky things at the thrifts also! Still love that Santa on the street light, I might have bought him! Can't wait to see this year's tree! Hugs!
