Isn't it lovely?!?

This is the 2nd year we've been in this house for our Christmas and we're still experimenting with the best placement for our tree.  Last year, it landed in some front window, squashed in a small corner, without much room for present opening around it.
This year, we decided to move our living room furniture around and put the tree in there.  I think I like it a lot better.  You sure can't miss the tree now!!  It is almost dead center in the room.  You have to walk around it to get anywhere.  It is a pain, but I love it.

This is the first yeara the kids have been big enough to help decorate.  I have to admit, they want to put about 200 ornaments in the same 4" square of tree.  I made it my job to re-home the ornaments from where the kids placed them and spread them around the tree.  I would have left them, but they were right near the bottom, some were breakable, and we have cats that bat at things, kwim?
We have a green star because Riley's favorite color is green.  :)

We had an enormous garage sale Saturday and it was a success!  I made a lot of money and got rid of a lot of clutter around here.  We got rid of our corner desk from the office, making room for 'Thing 3', and our office looks huge.  I'm still working on accessorizing my master bathroom though I notoriously suck at such tasks, I'm trying to stay positive.  I don't have a lot of inspiration or space to work with so it is slow going.

Such is life around here!!  Happy Holidays!!
