I Can See the Pole
is what The Spawnling said about my white Christmas tree.
The first thing she noticed, naturally.
Brat.
I had read before to camouflage your tree's pole by wrapping garland around it. I had garland. But it was green.
So, now that Christmas is over I started looking for white garland.
Yay, Amazon.

This one even comes pre-lit!

Creche
I am going to attempt to make a creche. I actually found a few I want to make.
As gifts.
The first one is a kiddo-friendly one.
I hope to give it to my cousin's little girl for Christmas this year.

Gingerbread Houses
You know, I have never made one.
Well, not as an adult.
One of the coolest houses I ever saw was at Disney. It was in the lobby of The Grand Floridian.

This took 400 hours to bake, and an additional 160 hours to decorate
Oh, goodness.
When a recipe tells you it will be no simple task, you know you're in trouble.
Kiddo-Approved. Out of graham crackers!
Who am I kidding?
It'll probably end up condemned.
Maybe I should just start with felt.

Out of the Mouths of Babes
The Munchkin, who still has toys in BOXES, is already counting down to Christmas.
Today? 356 days, 12 hours, blah, blah.
As for me, I am rethinking my plans for world dom...Christmas organization.
I was the poster child for unpreparedness for Christmas 2012.
I need structure, dammit.
So, a big change for Christmas 2013.
Coordinating wrapping is out. Same with coded paper for the family, the helper elf was a terrible helper. He brought home exactly ONE roll of wrapping paper from the clearance racks. One.
I know, it's not life-threatening or anything, but I have become the most unorganized mess and it annoys me. I like having all my ducks in a row.
I like not having to wrap presents on Christmas Eve.
Or staying up till 1 a.m. on Christmas morning because I got behind and didn't finish making some stuff. Stuff that was to be given out on Christmas morning.
Plan B!

So far, these are the favorites.
Including, a yeah, right one.

Christmas Tree Alternatives
I have never bought a live Christmas tree. My folks always did, but even they have upgraded to artificial.
This past Christmas I broke in my brand new white Christmas tree.
I still want a pink one.
Ooooh.
Or this.
How pretty is this?
And from the looks of it, I think it stores flat!
