In the last two weeks, I have written about my Christmas tree. Here are my posts about assembling the tree and decorating it. This was the finished project.

Christmas is coming! I have been unusually busy this year, and I will be leaving the night of December 20 for Venezuela, so I have not been able to do much decorating this year. I like to make wreaths from fresh greenery, but I did not get the chance to make any this year. I was lucky to get the tree put up. Douglas did help me decorate it one night last week. Here is the tree with all of the lights and ornaments, with and without flash. The curb-sale drum makes me think of one of my favorite Christmas songs, “Little Drummer Boy.” This is a unique version by Bing Crosby and a very young David Bowie.

I use a blanket as a tree skirt. The red combines well with the vintage red suitcase I pulled out of the trash this summer. Crème seems to approve.
