My Christmas decorations

This morning, I had a little free time to craft some Christmas decorations. I printed and cut out the four little Christmas houses that I am going to hang on my tree. I crafted the three cone trees that you see in the photo, that I will place in the center of our table for the Christmas lunch. The little tree has been decorated since last Wednesday, when we celebrated Saint Nicholas. I have seen a video to make cute paper angels, I will try to make a few to add to the Christmas. I still have to set the nativity scene. Have you finished decorating your house?

Thank you Alfredo, very simple this year, because the problem is when you have to take the decorations down.

@amadeo I think that this is something nobody likes to do.

I might not decorate mine. My grandson that is in the Air Force might have an operation on his back. If that happens we will go there to be with him.

Your tree looks very nice, you are gifted for decoration. I am not putting any decoration for Christmas since years. Eventually a few "santons de Provence" on the chimney...

My "Santons de Provence" are still in a box that I have not yet opened and it's a shame. I have an empty nativity setting and they would look great on the fireplace mantle.

@Marty1 A santon is a kind of religious doll that you put in a crêche/nativity scene.

Poor Daisy she is surely upset not to be able to reach the little tree. I have kept Willy the cat far from our decorations.

@LadyDuck Lol, she is a little miffed that she can't reach the tree but I have also wrapped a present for her, so hopefully she forgives me. Yes, Willy the cat would be fascinated by all the pretty decorations. :-)

@thelme55 The passengers coughing have surely spread their germs. This is the reason why I fear so much closed spaces in winter, sick people should wear a protective mask.

@LadyDuck I came back last Sunday evening from the trip, healthy and have wonder why I so suddenly got sick on that Monday morning . Maybe because inside the train, there were passengers coughing a lot and I think I got those bacteria they had. It was warm inside the intercity train and when I arrived at my home train station, it was freezing cold and snowing.

We got the Christmas tree up ages ago, and everyone seems to add either to it or to the room where the tree is, a bit more decorations here and there. Even the cat tried to do something to the tree (It climbed up and up a few branches of that plastic tree and thought it had conquered the whole world! ).

We put up the tree every year the day of St. Nicholas (December 6th). I think that the cat of the neighbor has make the tree fallen three days ago. Now they have put the tree in a safer area and attached it.

@LadyDuck i said she should add more green decors in that balding Christmas tree. she did that, and added more of those balls, and the Santa things. even the lights outside; she tied them while i was checking if they were in straight line. but the lights are not my idea. hahaha!
