I love the way our big mirror reflects the lights making it look like we have two trees!

I love my tree and all of the decorations. I don't have one of those wonderful, coordinated designer trees, because I have too many special ornaments which are all different. I use the red balls and the glass icicles to tie it all together. I think it works.

Here is a sweet pair of twiggy looking reindeer votive holders which my Mom gave to my sons. I love them!

And I love to wrap presents! (My husband thinks I'm crazy on this one.) No "brown paper packages tied up with string" here. I love to decorate the packages with ribbon and floral picks. This year, on the kids' packages, I decided a puppy would be more appreciated than a poinsettia with the younger crowd. It still looks quite nice, and I finally had an excuse to buy an armful of these cute stuffed puppies I'd seen near the Hobby Lobby check out counter all year!

I am finished decorating, but I still have more wrapping to go. I'm looking forward to it!
