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

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!

Date: 2011-12-17 08:37 am (UTC)Our tree used to look like that but a few years ago my mum got very strict about it and wanting it to be fashionable or whatever. Each year she picks a colour theme; this year is blue and silver, which looks great, but personally, when I'm in charge of decorating the tree, I kind of lose it and get a little crazy; I'm just like "hang ALLLL the decorations!!!! XDXDXDXDXD *crazy laughter*
So instead I just hang all the old awesome rejected decorations in my room and anywhere else I can lol. I'll have to take a picture for you when I can.

Date: 2011-12-18 02:18 am (UTC)Merry Christmas to you! Can't send you any crazy ornament pictures of my own because I always go away for the holidays to visit my family and it isn't worth putting up a tree (and then worrying about it trying out and spontaneously combusting while I am away). But I did buy this monstrosity for my friend, Carolyn, who collects glass ornaments:
Happy holidays!
