These are the Christmas woodland deer I ordered late last night from QVC. BTW: I decorate with my deer all year long.

Pretjah glad to see you home at CAY. I am in the same mood to decorate for Autumn in September because the next decorations are for Christmas!
Happy your vacation was relaxing and fun and looking forward to you posting more often.
Happy Christmas in August!

I like that. Tree up yet? Michelle would have just rolled her eyes at me. :D

September first - Fall decorations go up.
November first - Thanksgiving decorations go up.
Thanksgiving Day - Christmas decorations go up after lunch and we watch Miracle on 34th Street.

Good to see you again friend!

Mine just said "ornament or decoration this time?" He tells me I don't have a straight Elf face and he can always tell. :oops: Me? Your Perky Elf is one smart Christmas cookie!

I remember you & CandyKane usually have all your decorations up before I start my Fall. But then it is over 100 here most Septembers/Octobers. Still I hope to start Autumn decorating after Labor Day weekend. It all depends on the healing status of my eyes. I am so ready now!!! :leafjump:

I don't care if it's over 100 degrees outside, I'm gonna decorate for Fall as soon as Michelle will let me. She always makes me wait until September first. :elfgrin:
I'd put up the Christmas tree earlier if she'd let me.

That is one reason I leave my tree and Christmas decorations up thru January. I wait all year and need more than a month. :wink:
