This Little Green One Here Seems To Need A Home.

I can't believe I don't have a holiday icon from "A Charlie Brown's Christmas". I do now! Thanks, matchboximpala!!!

Anyways...my mom came over and made a fuss about the Christmas tree. She asked about a bunch of different ornaments and I realized that almost all the ornaments have a story behind them - not usually anything big, just sometimes, "Oh, that was a gift from so-and-so," but it's nice. Quite a few of them we have had since childhood even.

Then The Nephew was here - (we finally did our stocking shopping, spent a ridiculous amount on the cats but because we did my sister's stuff at the dollar store, we managed to stay in my budget!) - and he goes, "Hey, you have a pink dinosaur on your tree! Do you have a Mickey Mouse?" and we spent some time looking at the ornaments together. He was going through each one, "You have an elephant and a snowman and a..." and then he kind of stopped because he didn't know what to make of the paper-angel with Castiel’s face on it. (don't worry, I'll put it under the cut for you to see).

Then ceitfianna was here and she pointed out my My Little Pony ornament, which I love.

My sister is happy. People noticed her tree at last. I was saying at therapy how no one noticed her tree and then suddenly, from all the way across the clinic, I hear Kevin yelling, “I did! I noticed it! It was lovely. Tell your sister it was lovely!”.

In light of this, let me share with you some pictures of my tree and perhaps a few of some of my more ridiculous ornaments.















My sister made a bunch of these. Cas, Anna, Zachariah with reversible lion face and Angel the Vampire. We have Cas and Angel on our tree.





Cuz we're just that cool.

Come on, you know you want to upload a picture of your most ridiculous holiday ornament!!!

Family party this weekend and I have to finish The Nephew's Christmas present. Have a good weekend!

I have a blown glass (maybe it's not blown --heh, blown-- you know, that really fragile brightly colored molded shape style of ornament?-- rubber duckie. And some really fat Christmas cats. If my camera were working (grr) I'd take some shots this afternoon after work, but... it's not.

I love the tree! Ours is too tall this year for my stained glass light up star, which makes me a little sad.

heehee blown. Rubber duckie - that's awesome! I have a friend who has a little rubber duck collection, she'd love that.

You don't have a camera phone even? I'd love to see the ornaments. (I say this when I myself don't have a camera or a camera phone - damn lack of money).

When we were kids we used to have enormous fights over what went on the top of the tree. My mom always wanted the old fashioned Santa. My sister always wanted the angel. I always wanted the light-up flashing star. Which I just relaized tells you a lot about our personalities. lol

Thank you. And hey, at least that means you have an awesomely tall tree.

I do have a camera in my phone, but it's very poor quality, plus, I don't know how to move photos from it to the 'net and thus to you.

Ha ha, you could be right about the tree toppers - I don't really remember what ours were. I have a vague idea that there may have been an angel at some point. But I really like the star, and am sad we couldn't use it this year. (It doesn't flash; it just glows.)
