Manchester Christmas Market-
The next day me and Li were off to see the decorations in Manchester City Centre- and do a little Christmas shopping as well..... it would be rude not to!!!
 |
| All lit up just after dark. |
 |
| Mark & Spenser's Storefront Window Display. | |
 |
| Just as it was going dark..... |
 |
| The first stall- The Chocolatier!!!! |
 |
| Li said my eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree when we rounded the corner.... if she only knew!!! |
 |
| Sneaky Cheeky pic of Li..... she actually photo bombed the shot so she cant get mad at me. |
 |
| This was a statue spire- I think. |
 |
| Big Old Fat Lit Santa .... FINALLY I got to see proper Christmas Decorations that I am used to!!! |
 |
| Double Decker Bus in front of the Market.... I finally got to ride on top on the way home- didnt much care for it. | |
|
 |
| Another pic of the stalls- and Li looking at a shop window. I think that one was L V. |
 |
| Pottery stall.... Lovely merchandise! |
 |
| And more stalls..... |
 |
| And Dark with lights again. |
Decorating the house for the Holiday-
 |
| Wear A Cap - originally a drinking game- but if we arent having a party- we dont drink much so we just shout out SANTA!!!!!! every time someone wears it!! |
 |
| It hels to have places to put things when the holidays roll round. |
 |
| Loved the red & green reversible ribbon sho much I decided to decorate my tree with it instead- I actually ordered 4 more lengths of it wrapped it round the tree and used the bow on this lamp as the tree topper! |
 |
| My main Christmas Cards I sent out this year- had a spare- it fit into this Hurricane Candle lamp my daughter gave me- and added a bit of snow to the bottom. I LOVE IT!!! Probably my fav piece this year!! |
 |
| This is a painted Rock... Either my sister, Nina, or my Niece Tiffi, made it for me!!! |
 |
| And this is my kitchen window... you know I even have to have the Kitchen dressed for the Holidays!! |
 |
| Trying out the new piece..... |
 |
| Art for the Holidays.... My snowglobe my mom bought for me.... and my Mouse I bought for my dad's fav book when he was a little boy- Walter the Lazy Mouse. Yes- I have it too. |
 |
| AChristmas Cards- and my I Believe bell from the Polar Express!!! I will ALWAYS Believe!! |
 |
| My beside table and shelves.... My bowl of antique ornaments from my parents AND my grandparents 1st Christmas Trees!! |
 |
| I had to have a wreath for my front door this year- so I bought a £3 one off Amazon- and decorated it myself with some red velvet ribbon, a Christmas card left over from last year- and my Elf on the Shelf- Spanky McSparklePants. He must love it there with the view of all the rooms - he hasn't moved an inch since he found that spot!!! |
 |
| I think the tinsel draped on the Frames on the wall is a staple in the UK.... I havent see a single house that doesn't do this. |
 |
| My Red and Green tree this year. |
|
|
 |
| My inspiration for it- I need bigger, brighter ornaments for it next year- and more ribbon too. It shall be done!!! |
 |
| The final styling for the Lamp & Card... complete with all my Grandbabies names ornaments |
 |
| Hmmm..... the bed before it was dressed- but all the elements are still there...almost |
 |
| Cant forget the Sleighbells on the front door!! We dont have a fireplace, so now when Santa come in the door, the bells will wake me up!!!! At least- in theory that's how it will work. |
 |
| Yup- same tree as the Autumn leaves one- now with snowman ribbon wrapped round instead of the autumn leaves garland! |
|
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
&
MERRY CHRISTMAS
EVERYONE!!!!
