I know we are all busy getting ready for Christmas, but if you had the time to come over for a cup of tea and some cookies (which aren't baked yet), this is what you would see at my front door. Under all the greenery is an old watering can that sits on an old short step ladder. The greenery was picked up on my walks and the ice skates were obtained at a garage sale a couple years ago for 25 cents! I love Christmas decorations and hope I don't ever get too decrepit to at least put something up.
Many years ago, my MIL made this jewel tree out of some of her old jewelry and it has been one of my favorite decorations. It has some lights in it to make it sparkle. I took the first picture with a flash and the second without the flash so you could see the lights better. We have had this for at least 30 years, but I think even longer than that.

Actually, last year I posted my Christmas decorations and they look the same this year. You can see them HERE.
I would love to see your decorations too! Now I better get busy finishing up some Christmas gifts.
