Twas the Month Before Christmas

What's It Wednesday # 101

Twas the month before Christmas, and all through my home

All the silver has been polished, even the chrome.

The crystal has been placed on the table with care

Candles are displayed in groups and in pairs.

My parents wedding china, silver and white

Make the table look festive, inviting, and bright.

This strong lady of elegance,  decked out in red

At the head of the table, next to the bread.

This silver fella, looking like a line-backer

Stands sentinel, guarding, he's by favorite nut-cracker
Each day I pull out more Santas, more wreaths , more stuff
My husband looks on in dismay, he hollers "Enough!"

But I exclaim to him "Dear, we must deck the halls"
Black Friday is coming, we will hit all the malls."
I then hear him sigh, then shake his head
Then I remember "Pinterest before bed"


As I continue to tweak, plan and fluff
Not putting out everything? Wow, that is tough!
But that's okay, we all love to do what we do
I get to see what you do, All season through.

Happy decking the halls everyone!

Roll call: Who else is out there decorating early this year?
