Around the House

 After receiving the perfectly imperfect live tree I decided to pop over to IKEA

and see what they had in faux trees.

I love the little tree I found there;

so it was set up in the dining room.

There were a few candles, tea themed ornaments and golden baubles

placed on this little tree.

 Then my white themed cast of characters joined two festive teapots

on the cabinet.

Since taking this picture I have added a few votive candles.

Don't you just love candles at Christmas?

The more light the better sprinkled all around the house.

 Here is the tree all lite up and ready to sparkle.

 A view of the china cupboard from the opposite side of the room.

I love the reflection in the glass of the tree.

And then just outside the window I can sit at the table sipping my tea and watch the

hummingbirds come to the feeder wrapped in old Christmas lights.

The new lights don't get warm enough to keep their water from freezing;

so every winter we leave these lights on the feeder until Spring.

No freezing and I love seeing our delightful little ones flutter around.

They are my best winter decoration.

Are you enjoying the lights of the holiday season?

Delighting in the day?
