Hootin' Anni's Day Trippin' : Bring Up the House Lights!

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

No, the photo is not rotated...the elf is lying on its side on the fireplace hearth.

My holiday night light.

Santa's Helpers

Santa brings presents by canoe in the Texas Bayous!

Because Isaiah is still a curious cat, we opted out of the idea of our large 7 foot tree again this year with all the fragile glass ornaments. Instead we unpacked the fiber optic tree. Let it shine!! It's safer and unbreakable.

Another reclining elf

Fiber optics in the darkness of the night on each side of the Jolly O' Elf himself...

I Believe...

And, below...Santa lights, a reindeer, fairy lights on the room divider, and my holiday wax warmer with cardinal/frosted glass. It's new this year, and I placed pine scented wax in the holder.

Lights shine in the darkness on earth and in the heavens...
...awe and wonderment each Christmas season.
Holy night, the stars are shining brightly...
...it is the night; His birth is the reason.

Your decorations look wonderful. Love the wax warmer. That's really pretty. It reminds me that I have a wax warmer with a cardinal on it. I need to dig that out.

I love Christmas decorations of all kinds. This is the first year that our youngest cat has not climbed the tree. I think she wants but is too fat to do so.
Have a Merry Christmas if I don't "talk" to you sooner!

Had to smile at the reason for the fiber optic tree. Minnie climbed and brought down the only tree I dared to put up years ago.
Really, really liked that wax warmer.

Your Elves are quite cre8tive with where the appear. Much better than the Elf on the Shelf who is rather boring.
Happy Friday

If only we could light candles and wax warmers; health concerns prevent, BUT....we CAN enjoy yours! Your decorations and message are wonderful.

Delightful!!!!

Love such lights... So much prettier than the usual lights we need on, to move around and to read. -smile-

"Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home!"

How I wish I could show you pics of my childhood friend's husband dressed as an elf....he was perfect for it. You would crack up...you don't even have to know him. Just has that look.

I love that Cardinal candle holder.

And just realized I forgot to tell you I LOVED that Believe Bud carved for you.

Bring Up the House Lights!
