Just had enough "umph" left to get the tree in the house and decorated after it thawed out overnight. Now, for me, the season has officially begun! All I need to do next is make cookies, make sure the cocoa fixings are ready and put up the sign so Santa can see the house through the trees!

Yes it's 'deck the hall' time I guess. This could be a Christmas card PJ and one that I'd love to receive. Very festive with beautiful comp and perfect DOF. Now where are the mince pies!

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.

Hi PJ,
Well, this one makes an excellent Christmas desktop. I love the way you composed this with the different kinds of lights and ornaments. Getting the tree up is what kicks off the season for me, too.

Tree is homemade as I suspect the white decoration is. Looks like it's been crocheted. Beautiful tree you have. I remember where you bought it a few posts back. Glad to see you made it home with it in one piece. Great holiday post PJ.
