Photo Report: It's Beggining to look allot like Christmas

[spaceace12]

Finally a free weekend to put up the tree and test lights.

 

I will let photos do the rest of the talking.

Gotta put the ornaments on and outside lights and I will be done just in time to take them down.

She took this one, but it has a good story. Last year, when we put up the tree, our cat started sleeping under it, so we bought her a bed, and she slept there. Once the tree was down, she never touched that bed until now, since the tree is back up.

Geez, I need to hide my camera.

Can't forget this one.

This one too.

And this one

Like This one.

Tip, never leave your camera where you sister can find it, otherwise you start getting pictures you didn't take.

And a Princess underneath.

360 Led style lights with a star on top.

Ah that is more like it.

A Charlie Brown style fake tree.

Angus McNasty, eat your heart out.

My kitty, Hello Kitty. My sister named her after she adopted us (the cat).

45 minutes later, I am home with everything.

Ah there it is, now time to get to it.

Time to get the Christmas Decor out of storage. Wait, where in the ..... is the stuff.

First Snowfall of the year fell on Thursday night, I celebrated by doing a donut as I left work.

For some reason I just burst out laughing at the cat photos (Im so bored.)

 

Ill post some photos later of my decor that I had to put up without the help of my family this year, and it took me for freaking ever!

I put mine up without much help from my family. but they take care of the ornaments. I just do the lights, garland and the tree.

HAH! You call that snow? Why, up here in Baldwinsville, NY, we probably had a total of almost 18 inches already, most of it on the snow day last Tuesday... (a snow day this early in the year doesn't happen often - they usually come around January.

[spaceace12]

I want more, but here in land of less and less snow each year, I am just glad we got that. Last year we had 2 good snowfalls and they melted within a week of falling just like this one did.

Took a trip to the County Park's Pioneer Village Christmas Walk. They had all their cabin's open with people in there dressed in period clothes with the only light being lit by candles or fireplaces.

 

I took about 3 with the flash and the rest without, and with my camera, in darkness, you get blurry pics at night (even with a Tripod).

 

Also, took a couple of my Christmas tree lights with a special filter.

Topper had enough light to make my shot good.

Starburst Filter while trying to handhold with no flash=blurry.

Persimmon something.

Not a donkey.

Some Sort of German Kookie.

They are following me, I must have done something wrong.

They were cooking cookies in this oven/

Blacksmiths' Fire

Carvings with a candle in front for light.

Was making something, Hard to tell with little light.

The Infantry.

Cabin

Flash again just to show detail.

Flash on

Wooden Spoons, I suppose made there since they were making them.

Fire on a cold night, felt real good.

This person was making a bowl or plate of some kind. Said he had just cut a slice of wood today.

Ooh, I love the snow. Unfortunately I live in the Bay Area where it never snows. So today, my dad and I drove up to the Sierra Nevada. We heard on the news that there had recently been a snow storm. So when we got to the Sierras, everything was shrouded in snow. The trees were flocked with fresh powder, not like the fake ones in department stores! It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I did have my camera phone and took tons of pics, but I don't know how to upload them.

 

Hopefully when I learn how to make Photo TR's I can share some of the pics.

Wow, I don't know where you live but those pics made me homesick. There's something about it being mid December and the thermometer reading 81 that just seems wrong to me. Sometimes I hate Florida...

30 some degrees snow on the ground, it is raining turning to snow tonight. Spent the evening at my grandparents for my dad's side Christmas since my Grandparents are heading down south about an hour on Christmas. I got 75 dollars and that all goes to my replacing my radio in my car.

 

And for you history buffs. My brother asked my Grandma to paint a picture of the Band of Brothers TV Documentry Cover and this is what he got. He is sending me his picture he took with his camera since I didn't take mine, I had to use my sisters crappy one.

 

 

I can't wait to see my covered bridge picture I asked her to paint.

This is the Picture I gave her to paint.

 

 

And I did finally finish decorating, but did it on Wednesday so I don't have a picture yet.

Final pics.

 

finally got the tree decorated this last week and Christmas lights up outside.

 

Outside lights with a blanket of snow on them. (yes pics are blurry, teens plus video camera is thanks to that)

 

 

 

Finally the finished Tree.

 

 

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my family to yours. And happy New Year too!

[I love DW]

 

This is my favorite pic! Nothing looks better than Christmas light underneath a layer of snow.

Perhaps you should put ypur camera on something solid to make the nighttime pictures less blurry. Yes a tripod would be best, but other stuff like fence posts, parked cars, etc work great too. I know that's what I do and it is how Raptorboy got all the great nighttime PortAventura shots.
