It was raining on my lens that night

Awww, thank you so much for posting them for me – they are SO pretty. The green and red garland of lights is lovely. The lit snowman and teddy and pressies are also so cute. I love the big colourful wreath on the side of the house. The Santa boxer is just adorable with little boxing gloves too and I love the little gingerbread type house next to it. Is that a real log fire? It looks so warm and inviting. I love the beautiful Christmas Poinsettias on the fireplace - I give them to people for gifts every year - do you know the story of the Poinsettia? You probably do – here’s a link to 2 versions: http://www.just4kidsmagazine.com/poinsettia.html .

They are all so lovely, it makes me feel all Christmassy and happy looking at them - thank you again Doreen for posting them for me!

I did not know the story of the pointsettia... thanks!

Oh and the firplace is a gas fireplace. It was a log burning one when we moved in, but we changed it over to this. I knew I wasn't going to want to be cleaning a fireplace and have smokey walls in here, this is cleaner and I would use it more with just the press of a button.

I had promised some people pictures of my outside christmas lights but got a little side track with the baby.

Their are approximately 1500 LED lights on the outside of the house with 2 figurines buried in snow HA. my house lights are Red LED bulbs designed specifically for aviation warning lights on tall towers. Each bulp has 300 LEDs within.

Also I took a picture of our christmas tree. My wife just fixed it for the photo. We gave up on the star.

The last picture is Mouche our 7 month old kitten. WOW she was a little bugger this year... if she wasn't the one knocking ornaments halfway across the room she would be in the tree taunting Peaches to jump at her.

ROFL that kitty in the tree is a laugh!

Ruby Red · 01-05-2010, 01:45 PM

Aww, thank you Dragon. I was wondering what happened to the pics, but I knew you were busy with the new arrival! Still, they were worth waiting for - that first picture is so beautiful - you must have some tall ladders to get the lights on the outside trees - I reckon they must be a good 15+ feet high!!!! Your indoor tree is so pretty too - and I see your reflection in the far window! Your kitty, OMGoodness, I can just imagine the fun around your house with the cat and the dog, LOL. So when, or have you taken them all down now? It's 12th night tomorrow I believe.

Doreen · 01-05-2010, 04:26 PM

I was wondering how you got those lights in the trees up high too!

Ruby Red · 01-05-2010, 04:40 PM

You wouldn't catch me up a ladder - I'm well scared of heights!
