enthusiasm and flair

For many years now, I have admired the enthusiasm and flair with which Kelley embraces Christmas.

Every room in her home is  elegantly decorated, even her bathroom has a tree.

This year, I have shamelessly copied one of her ideas, (although with much less flair), and I now have a tiny, tiny bathroom tree.

cute, yes?

Not only do I have a bathroom tree, I also have...

stars in the bedroom...(there's a couple of these up on the curtain rod too),

and a fruit bowl filled with tinsel and baubles.

I even got out my Christmas Elf that I have owned since I was about five,
we each had one of these, my sister's Elf played an accordion, my brother's Elf played a violin,

and I hung a row of Reindeer along the wall to greet people as they step inside.

aren't they cute? 

I have tinsel across the doorways too, but none around the lightshades yet.
I need the big ladder for that.
