Following a similar thread as yesterday, I wanted to share some of the colour around our home during the dark, cold, and snowy days. This year, we have some new friends – a few friends from my Mom’s collections, including the “f**king” elves… Names such because my sister was forever putting the elves in compromising positions and Mom would tell her to leave the f**king elves alone.

They will are just guest stars here, they will move to their permanent posting next week. After going through Mom’s extensive Christmas stuff, we couldn’t find them. I got nominated to take the snowmen in a sled home (begrudgingly – my boy dog steals things left on the ground). But! Good thing I did, because in the box (ever efficient Mom was), was a Santa and the elves.

The colour red is a common theme in my home. And there is lots of glitter.

Glitter. Be prepared to wear some home if you come here.

Our first dog was a standard schnauzer. His name was Max, we have schnauzer stuff and he is always in our tree. While they are pepper and salt in colour, for Christmas, he wears a hat.

Finally, we love nutcrackers. They are everywhere in our home. They guard our tree, stand century in our kitchen, and bring treats on New Year’s Eve in our son’s stocking. They are bright, colourful, and often have a bit of sparkle!
