The Cooking Tree

As I like to cook, Therri lets me do most of the cooking and I get to decorate my cooking tree.


















My beard isn't as white as the Santa Cook but it's getting there.
I especially love cooking for the holidays so this is a natural tree for the kitchen.



















Luckily we have a very large island in the kitchen so the tree fits and we still have room for cooking and food presentation.








Night and Day

Welcome to our house what ever time you come.

Nutcrackers Galore



We have no idea how many Nutcrackers we have but I just bought Therri two more today.
You can always double click on any picture to get a close up.




Santas, Santas, Santas

Franklin Santa Meets Father Christmas

A Ben Franklin Santa? Oh yes we have all sorts of "themed" Santa's.




















Father Christmas welcomes you with his guiding light.




Nutcracker Lights

Two things about Therri and Christmas decorating, she loves Santa Claus (more of him coming) and Nutcrackers. So here is the first of lots of Nutcrackers. These are on the dining room light.


Coca-Cola, It's The Real Thing

I have always been a Coke drinker and started collecting Coke ornaments in the 1990's.
Every year we scour the ornament shelves of every store for more of these elusive Coca-Cola pieces for this tree.
