CHRISTMAS IN THE BEDROOMS

The guestrooms - just a touch




And our room................!



I put a few logs on a grate and covered them in lights


Now the reason I was hesitant to give a full picture is because we don't have a huge room ................so it's almost impossible to get a photo face on of the " faux " fireplace.

I moved the bed over as much as I could before it hit the other wall...........laid down on the bed as flat as I could get - but my legs were in the way - so I laid there spread eagled with my legs splayed up in the air and John walked in...........

Why I was embarrassed I have no idea - but I was - completely embarrassed to be in such a vulnerable position!

John says - WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU DOING?
Suzan says - Trying to get a shot of the fireplace
John says - You need to take photography classes - I don't think that's a normal pose
John says - WHY IS THE BED PUSHED AGAINST THE WALL???
Suzan says - Because it's in the way
John says - Did you see you snapped off a piece of the trim ?
Suzan says - Is that what it was?  I heard a crack !
John says - Well I'm glad I didn't do it - I'd never hear the end of it - but if it's for the blog.........

That entire conversation happened with me in that position by the way - waiting for him to get out so I could continue .................

As he walked out of the room he casually mentioned the MIRROR I have placed right over the Christmas lights
I never thought to even look in the mirror - but  it was horrifying - once again he saved the day or this would have looked like an entirely different type of blog !


At the very least it wouldn't have looked very wholesome - trust me

IT'S RUDOLPH ! ( an element of fun )

I ordered this online from Target ( we no longer have Target in Canada but we can order online )




John says -  What exactly is that thing you have hanging on the ladder?
Suzan says - Well if you need me to tell you................
Suzan says - It's a stag head
John says - I know what it is but it's horrible !  It's bad enough we have an outdoor ladder in the living room now you want to dangle animal heads off it?
Suzan says - It's fun - the little ones will love it !
John says - It's going to give the little one's nightmares

He obviously did NOT pay attention to Mary Poppins............I took her very seriously

In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap !
The job's a game




And every task you undertake
becomes a piece of cake
A lark !  A spree !
It's very clear to me



Just some leftover ribbon and a broken ornament
A broken ornament
A broken ornament
Justt some leftover ribbon and a broken ornament
Creates the most delightful deer !


John says - Well now it looks even more ridiculous

But it's staying - because I don't know any little ones that think Rudolph is ridiculous - he's the most famous reindeer of all :)
The Grinch will get used to it ................he always does !

Have a great one everybody
Hugs,
Me
