SPF - Holiday colors

Today, Kristine has asked to see some randomly holiday things. So without further ado:


Something red:

This is the obligatory leftover Christmas ornament we found under the sofa sometime last March. It has been sitting in my living room waiting for the Christmas tree to be put up again so it can join its long lost siblings. You'll notice that Smoky has a much different fate in mind for it. This does not bode well for the Christmas tree...



Something green:


This is the new futon my parents gave me for Christmas. I decided on green to match the tile in the basement, where it's going to live. My parents will be testing it out for me next week when they come to stay for a few days. Isn't it pretty?



Something I decorate:


My piano usually goes all out for Christmas. As you can tell, I have not yet gotten any of the decorations out this year. Yes, I know, I'm slow. Anyway, I have a garland that I put up there and little bits of greenery and a nativity scene. It always looks fabulous. And it's really the only thing in the house I decorate, besides the tree.



So there you have it. Did you play?

  3. I played.

    I love the little kittypaw batting the ornament! It's funny, there are so many cute toys out there for cats, but what they really love is what's already laying around. (My cat spent the last 3 days playing with an empty cardboard box.)

  4. Isn't it funny how if you find something festive or whatever, and the box is hard to get at, you just leave it out?? I totally do the same.

    What a cute red pic!

    Nice SPF!

  6. We always have a random item left over from each holiday. Actually I leave one item from each holiday out all year long! I just love all the holidays so when I look at it I can think about that time.

    I played!

  19. I bet your kitty likes to bat the balls of the tree! My cats used to do that. One year we put a cat nip ball on the tree! They were going crazy! Love the green futon. That is a great color!

  20. Ouch, I can't believe you are letting the cat play with your balls.

    I guess it's okay since it's an old ball ;)

  23. Very nice piano. Purty purty purty.

  24. I usually decorate the piano too! This year I moved it to a strange spot so my decor is on the entertainment center instead...oh, and on the bookcases and wherever else I can find a spot!

  25. I loved the picture of the kitty and the ornament. Oh they are so predictable (but cute). Happy SPF a couple of days late.

  26. MInus the fact that I am choking up missing my kitty, that is a really cute picture. I hope you get your piano decorated soon. We just finished last night. Well, I guess not. We only have 4 strands on our tree outside and it looks PATHETIC. It needs another 15 probably. It is so sad... :) anyway, great pictures. Have a nice xmas!!
