Dressing the House for Christmas

I've been taking a couple of hours a day to dress up our house for Christmas. It's been crazy with my seminary schedule plus trying to get to the gym in between. (I get to the gym with full make-up....that's insane!) There's still a little bit left to do---mostly my Christmas village and this year, I really don't have any place to put them. I'm in a quandary whether I should set them up or just put them away until next year.

Kurt got me a beautiful painting to go behind my piano. It's a 24X36 giclee McNaughton-- signed and numbered and beautifully framed. It's called "Peace Is Coming". Here is where you can read more about it. It's awesome. He's still trying to hang it as I type. I'll take a picture when it's in place. I'm so excited.


In the meantime, enjoy this little video I put together of little Christmas vignettes found around my house.

Cool video!

Unfortunately I must admit that I have poked fun at McNaughthon's work in the past. Perhaps it's just my artistic snobbery.

I'd have gone for this:

I'd have gone for a Rubens too but budget limits me. We must practice austerity during these lean times to come.

So true. The McNaughton will look great where you've decided to place it, plus you can't get a signed Rubens print!
