Close-ups of some of my favorite ornaments:
This bird was a gift from my partner's mother last year.
This glittery fish was a gift from my step-mother. I didn't realize she knew about my love of glitter until she gave me this!
I pick out a new ornament every year, and this superbly fluffy owl was this year's pick!
Decorations up, too:
I found this rotund lady at an awesome gift shop in Baltimore, Maryland. I have no idea why she's wearing a leotard/bathing suit at Christmas, but it works for me. I swear I know what good taste is; I just happen to like tacky, too.
I put the new LED string lights on the tree, and the second I plugged them in, I was startled to see that they were a hideous cool blue shade, and very, very bright. I promptly took them down and strung up the old lights. My partner joked that I picked aesthetics over energy efficiency, and I couldn't deny it...in this case, anyway. Who wants a blue-tinted tree, unless you're rocking a tinsel tree? The old-fashioned lights are much warmer and more in keeping with the holiday spirit. Sorry, folks.
