Last minute Christmas and a mini tour 2013

I've been wanting to spiff up the backs of the chairs in the dining room.  I want to make Christmas Eve dinner something special and memorable.
I made these chair tie-on's completely out of stuff I already had.  My goal was to spend most of Sunday relaxing.  I think I did good!
I used the rest of the natural burlap ribbon that I already had, some jingle bells (from Webelos Woods), and some snips of garland and florist wire from my stash. 
Each chair got a little swag and I have some green woven chargers and sweet napkins for under the clear dinner plates.  The house also got tidied up.  Wanna see?  Here's a mini-tour:
The tree this year is so pretty - just now stopped sucking water, which means I can leave it up til Friday, Jan. 3rd. - may as well enjoy it at least until then.
Such a cozy place to hang out.  
This is one of the ornaments I ordered this year - So me.
A new "ornament" - one I will treasure for years. 





I'm not 100% done shopping, but I will be ready to share the joy of the season with my family!
