Counting Down to Christmas
Ahhh...the big day is so close! 13 days until Christmas day! For some, this will be a day to celebrate Jesus's Birthday...for others it's just a day to get stuff. Either way...it is coming! I am semi prepared as far as gifts go for the children. Honestly that is not what Christmas is about....it is not about how many gifts you get or how expensive they are...it's about being with your family and friends. If you don't have any family or friends then it is about giving back to others. This time of year there are a lot of lonely people in the world. If they all got together, they would not be so lonely. My husband and I were talking the other day and we said we would love to be in the position to where we could visit hospitals and other facilities and spend time with patients, bring gifts, sing songs! It sounds like a magical time that many people would enjoy. It is on our bucket list of things to do in the future when the kids are older. This Christmas is sure going to be a small one, but we are all together and healthy and there will be a few gifts for the kids to unwrap so it will be a good day indeed. Happy Holiday's to those of you who do not celebrate Christmas...and Merry Christmas to those of you who do!

Trailer Park/Redneck Christmas
Representing for all my Trailer Park folks! Making trailer parks festive for the Christmas month is alot of fun and full of color. I searched around the web for pictures of Trailer Park Christmas fun...hope you like what I found...
Light up the park with loads of yard decoration's and Christmas lights!
That's what's up!
Nothing says Trailer Park like a Mt. Dew Christmas Tree! Very creative indeed!
And who said Santa don't come to the trailer park!!! Note the beer can string lighting.
Hmmm...interesting?
I can honestly say I have never seen this before.
A wreath made out of old shot gun shells!!! My husband would love this!
Thinking outside the box.
Oh my goodness...this is fabulous!
Creative and easy on the pockets!
I should have posted this in the cheap Christmas decoration post...creative and inexpensive...love it!
Nice!
Enough said!

Toddler friendly Tree Decoratoins
I have two toddlers...and based on past experience with my older children I have learned that toddler's like to take the ornaments off the tree and try to throw them on the floor and break them! I have lost many ornaments to my older son's who are now 9 and 6. My 2 and 1 year old have not gotten that chance...MUUHHAAhahaha.
Anyway...as I stated in previous posts, my Aunt made me Christmas decorations and tree ornaments out of plastic canvas. Because the cord to my phone was assulted by one of my toddlers I am unable to take pictures of the one's I have and how I used them. So I looked around the web to find one's similar to the one's I have...to give you an idea how creative and nice plastic canvas can be.
1.
This is what I am talking about!!
2.
This is too stinkin' cute!!!
3.
I have some of these for the tree and for the fridge...just put some magnet's on the back of them.
4.
I really like these...when I get the chance, I want to make these someday.
5.
This is cute too.
6.
These look a little tedious, but worth it!

Tree Decoration Themes
One of my favorite things about Christmas is how beautiful people's tree's look. A Christmas tree exudes a warmth that makes my soul smile. I looked around the web and found my picks for the most beautiful or creative Christmas Tree Theme's. Enjoy!
1.
This theme I like to call the "Jack Frost" theme because of the blue and white...reminds me of him.
2.
WOOO...this one goes out to my Trailer Park People!!! And anyone who enjoys a good beer!
3.
All white decorations...very beautiful.
4.
This is sort of what I had in mind for a purple theme but with lights.
5.
Oh yes ya'll...there is a pink tree!
I am going to stop this fabulous list because I am not finding what I am looking for. I am going to have to start doing my tree in a different theme every year and take pictures myself and post them because I am just not finding what I consider beautiful in every color. If I were to decorate a tree in a themed color...the tree would be green or white...the lights would be the color I am doing...and every decoration would be the color I am doing. It would be done creatively and look amazing.
I remember when I was a little girl, I think I was at Kmart or some store...and they had like 5 tree's decorated in different colors. They had tree's decorated in gold, silver, purple, red, and blue. It was amazing and I have never forgotten how beautiful they were. It will be a few years before I am able to do the color schemes because right now I have to use toddler safe decorations that cannot be broken...plastic canvas decorations. I will do a blog about them!

The Month of Merriment
December is finally upon us and magic will be trickling through the air and into the hearts of many. I love this time of year because it seems like people are filled with good energy and it charges the air with magic and wonder. People will be rushing about to get gifts for their loved ones, decorating their homes and yards, and baking wonderful cookies and cakes for Christmas. Of course I will provide ideas I find around the web to decorate cheap...I will be doing a post about different theme's for the Christmas tree, and whatever else I find that will be worth posting. I hope everyone has a happy holiday and feels the magic this month brings. Amen!

Zombie Training?
So...it appears our military has been training for a zombie Apocalypse. I always knew something like this would happen. They say they are training for the "bath Salt" users...but what if they know something the rest of us don't? What if your enemy countries developed something that could turn a population into flesh eating zombies? I find it a little hard to believe that the military is training for something like this over a little thing such as bath salt...but you know what...drug use does spread quickly so maybe these extra measures are necessary. Either way...if there is a zombie Apocalypse...you best believe the rednecks, trailer park people (Holla!!) and the Gangstas will more than likely be the last one's standing because we all have guns and lots of them! We have all been shooting shit since we were kids because that's just what you do when your a redneck, trailer park person, or Gangsta. If you don't believe me about the zombie training...check this link out!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
If you google "military zombie training" you will find other sources who have reported on this. Look out Bath Salt users...Justice is coming for those of you who develop a taste for human flesh when you all Bath-salted out of your mind. I did a post about Bath Salt not long ago and am not a fan, I can see how this could turn into an epidemic. Come on people!!! But the bath salt in your tub not your body!
