A little Christmas whismy in the living room

I have to admit that I think that this is the best tree that I have every decorated.  I usually struggle with them looking full.  I might have went a little overboard this time.

I made this with empty boxes and wrapping paper.

I couldn't resist getting these two nutcrackers for my collection.

This is what my tree looked like last year. Kind of straight looking like a stick.

We don't have much room to put a tree in this house.  We only have the small wall space on either side of the fireplace so we have to have a thin tree.   This year I added some greenery picks to the bottom half of the tree to make it have more of a tree shape than looking like a stick.

As you can see it has a much better shape than last years tree.  Here are some close ups of the ornaments.

I didn't decorate the entertainment area this year.  I only put up my vintage nativity.  I put it on the shelf  above the televison this year so I can see it every day.  Nothing fancy going on with it, just thought it would look nice by itself.  I think that I will use it in the dining room next year on the buffet.

This Nativity has been in my family before I was born.  My mother told me that she got it back in the 50's when you could get a piece at a time from the grocery store.  I also have a smaller version that was my grandmother's.  It has a light in the top for the star and it plays Silent Night.  My mother always set it on her hutch every year.  I remember playing with it when I was little.  I liked to wind up the music box and listen to it and sing.
