I got my Christmas decorating done yesterday. We put up the artificial tree, which has seen its better days but maybe it has a year or two left in it. And I got out some little Christmasy knick-knacks that I had packed away and sat them around. But I think my shelf is my favorite part of it all.

I have one of those little cheap tv stands that somebody gave me. The top is all scratched up, but otherwise it’s in good shape. I keep some books on the lower shelves, and cover the top with a lace throw and set things on it. For Christmas, I put all of my little things that light up on it, along with some of my other favorite decorations. It’s quite stunning when it’s all lit up.

I’ll try to get around to taking a picture of it and posting it. It might not be much, but I can’t help but get into the Christmas spirit a little when I look at it.
