It beginning to look like Santa threw up at my house

I love my fall pumpkins and decor. I have to wait until Black Friday to decorate for Christmas. 4 trees. That is awesome!

Now we know why you left town in such a damn hurry, at 1 am! Get to work!

At least you can finally appreciate those fine chairs.

Are you sure that stuff isn't still there from last year?

@rabtech with you my friend. This is the first year without my parents. Mom passed last Saturday and we decided to really do it up for Christmas. Mom and dad always made it a special time and never about the gifts. It was a time for gathering and happiness regardless of what was going on. We normally put everything up on Thanksgiving but this year we are starting early. Tree is up and ornaments are going on this evening. I start putting lights up tomorrow starting with the bushes and moving to the house next Saturday.

Patrick I started a thread and pinned it for people that wanted to donate in your mom's name to the Michael J Fox Foundation.

In memory of Lillian T Bennett.

Thanks, buddy.

omg guys..... Thank you so much. Can't even begin to tell you what this means....

Sorry for your loss Patrick!

Rab, why don't you trade that panda suit for a santa suit

We have a little stuff up. The fireplace room/den just got a face lift this past week. Did some painting, trim, removed some clutter to open the room up more. There is a mantle above the fireplace, and that's where the "Christmas Village" goes. That's out and on display now.

@Ruptured Duck I'm very sorry for your loss. I don't think I realized she had Parkinson's. My mom passed a year and a half ago, so I know that feeling. Dad passed in Feb of 2011, and was in the late stage 4 of Parkinson's. It's not pleasant at the end stages.

Yep, sorry for your loss Patrick, but as you stated, she's in a better place... Donation made and I wish I had a trailer, there'd be no problem you taking it for whatever you needed.

Sorry for your loss RD!!!!
I can say that I know how it feels.
Our condolences to you, your family & her friends.

Tree is up and our new front window addition this year.
