CHIPMUNKS


Every year my cousin north of Toronto sends us a Pewter Ornament - this year it is of chipmunks.  I received it about a month ago and usually don't open until Christmas Day but last night I not only decided to open it but to put the Christmas decorations up as well.

The tree is in almost the same position as last year but the big difference is that last year it was outside on the deck with some corrogated roofing protecting it from the weather whereas this year it is inside in the new Sunroom.  


Apart from the new pewter ornament each year I also buy something for the tree, not that I have done so this year.










                                                          and in the Front Hall


I also put up the wreaths at the front door.

  2. What a thoughtful cousin. I like chipmunks. I rememeber when I first saw one in NYC's Prospect Park. Picture a middle-aged woman squealing with delight.

    Yours looks ready for the Holidays. Happy Christmas!

  3. I shall leave any decorating for a while yet. I'm not bothering with a tree this year, but will definitely continue our tradition of buying a new bauble of some sort. Yours are all looking good.

  6. The tree looks great! The pewter ornament is beautiful! I like pewter; there's something about its color and quality that is special.
