Christmas Tour of Homes...A little Holiday Humor

During a break from my attempt at decorating this afternoon, amidst the ongoing construction here, I dropped by BooMama's blog. Ahhhh, I see that she is sponsoring a "Christmas Tour Of Homes" today. What a fun and inspiring idea to visit a few of your homes looking so nice, clean and dressed in Christmas finery. Well....ok.... in the spirit of good holiday humor I will join in. For those of you that are lamenting that you haven't begun decorating...maybe this will make you feel better! Ha! I guess a picture is worth 1,000 words...this will give a comic visual for my last two posts (here and here). Here it goes:

This view is looking out over our kitchen breakfast area while standing at our kitchen sink. This work table is holding many of our supplies as Dear Hubby goes from room to room putting up trim, painting and working so hard on his "days off" from his real job. This area is part of our recent addition. I am SO proud of my smart hubby and the excellent skills he has attained over the past 27+ years of home ownership!! I wonder if Joseph was using his carpentry skills the week before that first Christmas so many years ago!!

For those purist among us...yes, we do indeed have holiday decorations out in our home. Here is the lovely poinsettia plant that my DH brought home the other evening...nicely displayed on the chop saw in our kitchen. I thought I did a nice job of color co-ordinating it with the saw. What do you think? Actually...don't tell me...unless of course you can be kind.

This is a partial shot of the new family room we added on and have slowly been bringing to completion. The goal is to finish up, clean up and move in here before Christmas morning. Do you think we'll make it?? HoHoHo...We would love to put our tree up and enjoy our traditional Christmas morning in this new room!! Wish us the best! Hopefully, I will be able to post a few pics after Christmas to show that we achieved our goal. Well, that's about it for now. I need to get back to work! I hope you enjoyed a glimpse of life at our home during this special season of remembering God's greatest gift to us!! I pray daily to keep things in perspective! Leave a me a kind comment...especially you lurkers. It would be a nice gift to meet some new friends! Have a Merry Christmas!!
