A Very Merry Front Door

175

Martha Stewart

Christmas ornaments

and

an hour

or two

or three

later

the front door is

ready for

CHRISTMAS!!!

Apparently

175 ornaments is

quite a lot of ornaments...

so husband was right

I didn't need another

container

(although I may get it....just in case...you never know when it might be needed...right?)

I can't decide if we should

hang a wreath or something

on the door....or just leave it alone.

The front porch is always done in red for Christmas 

to coordinate with the sleigh that we have had for over 11 years.

It came from Renningers Extravagance in Mount Dora Florida...

It is one of my favorite Christmas decorations.

I always think of my girlfriend Tifanie

and how before kids we would go away

 for a girls weekend

and shop shop shop

And like a true friend would

she helped me carry this heavy sleigh

what seemed like miles back to the car

Sometimes it's not the item itself that means so much to us...

it's the memory and the person that we think of when we see it

that tugs at our heart

No hope of snow here in South Florida...but thanks to Picnik

I can pretend.

Off to decorate more trees

paint the bench on the front porch

and find a Christmas door mat and flag....

Oh...

and maybe clean the house if there is time

MAYBE
