Crazy Is A Relative Thing....

...especially at Christmas*giggling*

Hey y'all

I thought I'd put up a little visual treat for you to peruse as you take a break from the festivities and enjoy your third cup of *cough* coffee *cough*

Our lovely tree, underneath which is a little bit of crazy ;-)




The nice traditional mantel in the study--I decided to be very understated with it this year.


In part because just off to the side is a little more 'Christmas Crazy'...The Jimmie Tree!

Brad bought me a bunch of Jimmie Johnson ornaments to go with the few things I already had. We decided the collection deserved it's own tree and place of honor in the stidy where we could watch the fiber optics swirl colors across the ceiling.

And as promised before---views from outside of the house showing both the traditional ....


and a little bit of the crazy;-)






Each year I go more than a little crazy making The Nuts. This pic is from the 'first round' of nutmaking. This year I cooked about 24 pounds of them. It still wasn't enough.


And finally THANK YOU to all you sweet folks who sent us cards-both the ecards and the ones we've displayed here--you are lovely.



Smooches and some eggnog induced gropes babies.

The decorations look lovely, but I gotta say, your post title made me think of my trip to FL of a few weeks ago...

I like these pictures of the house. They don't show the dust, dirt, clutter...etc.

Everything looks fantastic! Our wacky weather kept us from getting to Sees for our annual truffles and peanut brittle. So now we have something to look forward to next week!

Enjoy your holiday!

Merry Christmas!

Jimmy Johnson deserved a its own place of honor? Or is that just what you told him?

A friend of mine's Larry Byrd and Joe Namath stuff is kept separate from the other household decoration things -- in a place of honor... On a wall in the basement.
