I was disappointed when I went downstairs earlier today to put salt in the water softener to notice that we never did properly put our Christmas decorations from last year away.  We were both feeling very under the weather when we took our decorations down and just tossed everything into a box and put it in the cellar, without even closing the lid on the box!  And then we just got busy with life and forgot all about it.  So now I’m kicking myself in the backside for not having followed up on it and putting things away properly.  Now we are going to have some serious dusting to do on those ornaments, having spent almost a year exposed to the dusty cellar!  I sure hope nothing is ruined! 

I really love most of our Christmas decorations, and I think that Christmas decorating is one of the most fun things to do; I look forward to decorating the house and the yard with a lot of outdoor and outdoor christmas decorations.  Every year I try to pick up a few new decorations to add to the assortment, and try to come up with a new arrangement of what goes where so it never gets to look “stale.”

I was looking at the wide assortment of Christmas decorations online today at the collectiblestoday.com website.  Teri and I collect angel ornaments and figurines to use for Christmas decorations and I was most impressed with how many different and beautiful angel-related products they have for sale on their website.  I was most impressed with a wall figurine called “Dream Weaver” which looks like a Native American Indian maiden angel with outstretched wings and images of wolves and eagles on the insides of her wings.  It was really breathtaking, and I think I’ll buy it for our collection.
