Christmas Tree and All the Trimmings

The Christmas tree is up with it's wintry snowflakes. It has been cold enough for snow outside from the unusual artic blast. I believe the rain turning to ice this morning is the closest we will see. The weather will warm to the 6o's by Christmas Day.

The presents are all wrapped. They are surrounding our Christmas tree. Now the anticipation of seeing everyone opening their gifts is heightened.

The colors of red and green from the Christmas packages make the house seem so festive.

The tree is fiber optic which changes the colors of the tips of the tree and the snowflakes. This causes the tree to change from greens to blues to reds to purples with white in between the colors.

The sweetest present under the tree is our precious collie,Shelby. She posed just so and didn't move until I told her she could.

Shelby looks christmasy in her red velvet collar with gold jingle bells. What a good girl to cross her paws just so for her Christmas photo!
