I like to express the holiday spirit by showing a gratuitous crotch-shot:
I'm glad he doesn't have a
kitty cam...lawd knows what he'd do with those shots.
Monday night I finally got the Christmas decorations up. If it were up to me, I'd have had them up the day after Thanksgiving!
Our coffee table:
Coasters I made:
I've since made 4 more...math majors, how many is that all together?
Just knitted them in garter stitch with two strands of RH held together; easiest thing in the world.
Top of our TV:
That cardinal is actually a tree topper, but you can see in a minute why we're not using it on there...
Our tree:
So big I can't even fit it all in one picture! Here's part II:
That star's about 14", 16" across, I think?
OK, OK...in the words of one of my students..."You was just TEASING!"
The same student gave me this ornament last year, in fact:
And I got this lovely one from Shagpop! Thanks, Secret Ornament Exchange buddy!
Isn't it perfect for Mrs. Blueberry who had a star-themed wedding?
I adore it!
Finally, one miserable cat in a miserable sweater:
He still hasn't forgiven me. Doubt he ever will.
Do you have your Christmas decorations up yet?

I love the pic of your cat. :) I have a Christmas sweater that I put on our cat when guests come over....she hates it with a passion (which really only makes it that much more fun).
HOW CREATIVE of Laura! I love that ornament!
We don't have our decorations up. We aren't going to decorate this year since we are closing on the house 2 days after Christmas. It will be such a sad looking little apartment.
Ha! Love the title of this post :)
I never thought about knitting coasters - good idea. Of course, I can't knit... so I'll pass the idea along to my sister.
Everything looks so festive! I think we put our tree and lights up on Thanksgiving out of pure boredom. That's the extent of our decorations... but this post inspires me to add a little more holiday flare around here.
Hope all is well, doll!
oh. i need to put up our christmas decorations. hopefully i can do it today. we put the tree up, but there's still no ornaments. =( this week......sometime.
the picture of the cat in a sweater is hilarious!! i have had my decorations up since the day after Thanksgiving.
Your coffee table looks really cute! I wish we had one, but we don't have much space in our dinky apt :( And the cat in the sweater...priceless!
RYC: No, I did not at all find your comment to be bossy! I really appreciate the input!!! I am actually going to talk with one of my professors to get more feedback tomorrow, so hopefully I will have it narrowed down! Like you said, there are a ton of ways I can go about doing this, which makes it hard, yet interesting!!! Thanks again :)
Yup...at least most of it. The tree and the inside decor is up. Not the outside lights.
Sweater on the cat. Priceless.
Cute tree!!!!
