Holiday decorating

[bluefish81]

This is my first year with a tree by myself - last year I was in the process of moving over Christmas, so there was no point.
I decorated the tree in silver, teal and blue balls, with blue and silver ribbon and white lights. The silver star on top is almost too big for the room, or I guess I should say that my tree is too tall - it's 7 and 1/2 feet tall.
The wreath is decorated with silver stuff. And then my centerpiece on my table is also filled with ball ornaments.

Nieng17, if you want some snow, I can send you some!

It'll be Mr. Pi Phi and I's first Christmas in our new apartment (we just moved in together in Seotember).

I love Christmas, he's not really a fan, so I will be doing all the decorating. We have a 6' tree for our little apartment (it's fake...I've only ever had a real tree twice in my life, and Mr. Pi Phi hates the pine smell). I'm doing a silver and blue theme on my tree this year. I have all my decorations for the tree, but I won't be putting it up till the 11th or 12th of December.

The lights for the balcony went up last week, but thet went on yesterday. I can't stand it when Christmas decorations go up too early. I probably get that from my English mother, where the tradition over there was to put the tree up on Christmas Eve and it would stay up for the 12 days of Christmas.

this will be my first christmas out on my own so i went and bought a stunning white christmas tree and wrapped it with blue lights. i then added a few strategically placed silver/opalescent bulbs to the tree and finished it off with blue garland.

i'm very pleased with the way it turned out.
