Fakexmas

CONTINUING ON WITH CATCHING UP ON XMAS BIZ . . .

EACH YEAR WE USUALLY HAVE A FAKESGIVING.
(LAST YEAR'S FEATURED HERE.)  OUR FRIENDS IN
PHOENIX CONVINCE US ONCE A YEAR TO MAKE
THE JOURNEY UP THERE , AND WE USUALLY
STAY FOR A NIGHT.

BUT THIS YEAR WE CHANGED IT UP. 
FAKESGIVING IS DEAD.

WE DO FAKEXMAS INSTEAD NOW.
THE FIRST ANNUAL FAKEXMAS IS PICTURED BELOW-

THEIR TREE WAS SPECTACULAR .

PHOTO DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE.

ACTUALLY THERE WERE TWO TREES .

THIS LITTLE ONE WAS FULL OF VINTAGE

ORNAMENTS WHICH I COULD NOT GET 

ENOUGH OF !!

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TACKY SWEATER PARTY

BUT OF COURSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WORE

ONE.... LUCKILY I HAD AN EXTRA PAIR OF ANTLER

HORNS SO I WASN'T ALONE.  THIS IS A TERRIBLE

PICTURE OF ME .  MEADOW LOOKS GOOD THOUGH.

DECORATIONS EVERYWHERE

FIRE PIT OUTSIDE

I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS PIC OF STU

CAME OUT ALL SMOKEY LOOKING

BUT IT LOOKS KINDA COOL .

THAT'S BETTER !

MATT (ONE OF THE HOSTS) AND STU.

I BROUGHT THAT TIE FOR STU KNOWING

HE WASN'T GOING TO DRESS UP.  IT SANG

XMAS SONGS.  OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE

BEEN ALONE IN MY TACKY SWEATER !!

THIS IS THE BABY JESUS THAT OUR PHOENIX FREINDS

STOLE FROM AN OUTDOOR NATIVITY SCENE.  (LOVE YOU 

GUYS!!!)  THEY THEN MADE HIM THEIR OWN.

HE LIGHTS UP WHEN YOU PLUG HIM IN.

AS I MENTIONED WE USUALLY STAY A NIGHT IN PHX

SO THERE WERE BLOODY MARY'S AND QUICHE IN THE AM.

THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF HOMEMADE 

QUICHE TO BE SPECIFIC.

FAKEXMAS WAS ALSO A WHITE ELEPHANT EXCHANGE .
I GAVE AWAY THESE ORNAMENTS AND ELEPHANT FROM MY
BIRTHDAY DECORATIONS AND STU ENDED UP WITH THEM.

I WAS ABLE TO GET RID OF MOST OF THE DECORATIONS
FROM MY BIRTHDAY.  POOR NATHAN ENDED UP WITH ALL
THE NEON GREEN ONES WHEN HE CAME TO TOWN.
☺☺☺

AND I GOT THIS ORNAMENT TEA LIGHT HOLDER .
PRETTY CUTE WITH THE GLITTER AND ALL !

SO THE FIRST FAKEXMAS WAS A SUCCESS!!!
CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR !!
