Christmas Happenings 1

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!

Thought I'd share some pictures from happenings around here. Lots eating, get-togethers, hosting parties, going to parties, eating, gift giving, gift opening, eating, screams of joy, staying up, sleeping in, eating.

Did I mention EATING? Seriously, I should have busted out my turkey pants!

Taking a little break before we head out for 4-5 more get togethers this week. Oh my tubby tummy hurts but I love the holidays.

On another note, how many of you actually take down your Christmas tree right away? I noticed a bunch of folks on facebook doing it already. I usually keep mine up for New Year and sometimes right through to Orthodox Christmas. Depends on how much Christmas I have experienced :)

Have a fantastic New Year! We'll be counting down the clock.

Looks fantastic, Maki! Oh the eating. I went to a spin class yesterday morning in an attempt to negate all the sweets - it was too soon. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Spin Class! I got a stomach cramp just reading that :) tee hee. Too soon, too soon.

Hope you and Charles had a fantastic Christmas too. Happy New Year.

Love the pictures and the white Christmas tree. Despite how much I have eaten the past several days, those plates of food are still making me hungry.

I just got my white Christmas tree this year. SOOOO excited because I was on the hunt :)

I know Lisa, I can still eat too. Better dig out my old maternity clothes :)

Great pictures, Maki! We keep our tree up until hubby gets yelled at to take it down, usually after his birthday (January-ish) Lol. Have a Happy New Year!

what gorgeous pics! I love your tree! So pretty! Yes, the festivities go on here for at least another week. I never take down the tree before New Year's Day. Vanja is Orthadox (so to speak) and he does like me to leave it up. As I put it up November 11th, I am VERY eager to get it down after New Years... but, if we are doing something for the Orthadox Christmas here, we leave it up.
I love this week as the festivities definitely continue at our house. This is a time for casual company dinner guests and reconnecting in a way I cannot when I am working. Take down the decor before NYE? Wild!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Last year, I just wanted the tree down after new years so it went down. But, I'll try to keep it up for Orthodox Christmas.

That white tree is my second christmas tree. I'm a wee bit crazed about christmas I guess. But cleanup is annoying as I have a little bit of Christmas in every room.

Happy New Year to you and your fam Valerie!!!
