Anyone addicted to the little Christmas towns? I've always had a thing for them, but the past couple years I've been completely obsessed with the town at Menard's. Wouldn't think a hardware chain would be where one would find a cute Christmas town. Finally, set it up last night.

Meant to have everything up and on this past week, but came down with a wicked case of the stomach flu. I'm still not feeling too hot. Hopefully, I can get some more lights up today.

I always secretly wanted to get into one of the little village sets. They are just Christmas to me. I would LOVE to see a series of pictures of that village! I do love hardware stores at Christmas time. Sometime their buyers are indulging their own fantasies when they buy for the stores and really surprise you.

They are so expensive! For mine, I tend to wait for the 50% off sale they have or when they go on clearance after/near Christmas. I've not seen the Disney sets on sale.

Yes the three of us went yesterday but I am just not happy with the picture.

Well, I put my tree up & decorated it last night.

Today, I slid it to the only spot it can go in my living room....and it looks kind of strange & I'm not sure how to fix it.

I don't like the look of the empty space above my corner china cabinet. I either need to raise my tree somehow and/or put something above the china cabinet. I thought about some greenery, but thought it might look wierd to see the tree end and then see greenery above it. Any ideas?

Beautiful tree how about Christmas cookie jars on top of your china cabinet
