This being our first Christmas in the Tropics (we lived here last year but flew to Idaho for Christmas, so I escaped having to decorate), we needed some encouragement to get in the mood. Also, it would be weird here to leave the tree up until mid-February.
I have a lifetime collection of beautiful ornaments and other Christmas decorations in a storage locker in the States. I purchased everything new and decided to go with a blue and silver theme. It's pretty but not as nice as my homespun tree of yester year. Oh well someday, maybe. See what you think.
There it is up close.
This shot got Rick's vote. He likes that seaside boat picture on the wall and our tropical print furniture in the background.
And there are the stockings hung with care, on the railing to the downstairs. No chimney here. No snow. Temps in the low eighties, and lots of wide open blue sea. We be ready for Santa.
Tomorrow over at www.farawayeyes1.blogspot.com we behavin' a Cruzan Christmas. I'll post the pictures from the 'Boat Parade and Party on the Wharf" It was extraordinaire! See you there. Remember to 'keep your thinking optional', this Christmas season.
So were you able to find a live tree? Sorry, can't tell if it's real or fake.
ReplyDeleteNaw, it's fake. You can buy live ones here, but they are expensive and real dry. Don't last too long. We bought this last year when we came back from the states (after Christmas) for $25.Not exactly the same as some of the live 15 footers we used to have in the a-frame we alived in, but it will do.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful tree!!!! We really like the dolphin (macy and I. Macy is requesting to see sponge bob though! Stockings are very cute....in an effort to get Christmas Spirit going we put out our Christmas last night, except tree! Nativity looks good....however we had an issue over your stocking....tell you about it on the phone. Miss you
