More unabashed Christmas excess

Having turned over almost all of my little house to the grandsons for Christmas decorating, I staked my claim on the credenza and decided to go for broke. It was so hard to choose what to use and what to leave out in such a limited space...so I didn't. I just threw everything I like into the mix...pottery, glass trees, Festivo candlesticks, glittery starburst ornaments, disco balls, Eames bird. No limits, I tell you. While it may not win any holiday decorating contest, I smile when I look at it, which is pretty often, since it's right in front of my TV.

(If you're wondering about my "candles," I'll admit that they were my one concession to the boys, who are a very active and curious pair. Because a tabletop tree got knocked off that very spot last year, I didn't want to take a chance with open flames, so I opted for a pair of LED candles. They're covered with wax, which makes them a little more like the real thing, and they flicker not-very-believably, which delights the boys. Most importantly, though, they're safe!)

Meanwhile, it's all rainbow, all the time everywhere else, but the grandsons are completely happy, so I am too.
