Hung by the Fire

(Like PG posted this morning, the Hallmark unveiled their Christmas ornaments for 2010. It's a big day for ornament collectors and while Hallmark had preview pictures, the ornaments are officially released for sale in stores for today. Do have to give big Thank You! to PG who gave me the heads up that PoP ornaments were coming last weekend.)

With pictures from LA in sweaters and shabby professional blazers (hint Austin spring for the patches on the elbows) it could be Christmas time in LA comparatively to the rest of the heat in the U.S. And sure that somewhere on some set there is snow and a Christmas special is being made.

So why not a little Christmas in July?

Of course it will be a green Christmas in a certain household, and whether they use a tree/Hanukkah bush that can be replanted, or one that can be recycled into organic gardening materials, you have to decorate it. But what with?

Homemade treats, popcorn and cranberries,, and those handmade kind from little hands that only get more precious as the years go by? Special family ornaments? Organic Candy Canes made without refined white sugar? Paper chains from recycled paper? A Longhorn ornament that some how finds its way to the backside of the tree, when it started out on the front?

Well here are some new options. Knowing a little more about a taller one recently there are a few more options like


or maybe this
...we know he's a big 'Pan fan.

Of course we know this one will be one there. Think it will be the tree topper?
One more question....does Papa Noel bring more presents when your papa's on the tree?

And Mr. Nichols now is the time to start looking for that ugly "very special" Christmas sweater before the rush.
