Christmas with Bubbles & Arnie

My last working day was Wednesday, December 21st so we have been busy preparing for Christmas weekend. We needed numerous shopping trips for goodies, wine and seasonal holiday delicacies. At last, we were able to do the final touches on our home to give it a festive look. Just thought we would share some of the highlights of our festive little apartment.

Above is a wreath that I personally created during our first Christmas together. Every year it comes out in memory of our first holidays together in 1999. In the lower corner, is one of our annual fresh centre pieces with candles that Arnold lovingly selects every year.

Above, is another annual fresh piece - red & white poinsettias - with our holiday candles that brighten up our living room during the holiday season and throughout the dark winter months. Also, there is our swinging Santa - he wiggles his hips to Jingle Bell Rock. Beside rockin' Santa is a rather sad miniature tree with lights that I actually bought for my desk at work.

Here is our Christmas snow ball collection - each one of these balls has major history or comes from a special place.

Lastly, is our sweet little Christmas tree. We have an artificial tree which is 2 or 3 times bigger but we just do not have the space for it anymore. So till we move to a house, we have decided to buy a real tree but in a smaller size - absolutely adorable.

Just for the sake of setting the scale - here is Bubbles with the tree on Christmas Eve.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE & ALL THE BEST FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
