The late blog posts continue as I attempt to make Wednesday’s post Thursday morning. I thought I could do a Wayback Wednesday, maybe a combination Wayback Wednesday/Throwback Thursday. Perhaps a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Proof that Santa Claus does so visit the naughty ones!
I am not sure where this particular Santa Claus is. We got him from the Herkimer County Historical Society. He had blown into their yard one blustery December day, and nobody claimed him. Our friends at the society thought my husband, Steven and I would give him a good home. It is in fact only the top half of a Santa, hence our idea to hide him behind the fireplace screen.
Sometimes I decorate myself.
I can’t resist showing this picture of me in a festive outfit. I still have the shirt; I purchased it from the J.C. Penney catalogue back into he late ’80s (why in the world is catalogue underlined? I am not looking it up, dammit!)
We’ve added a couple of Santas since.
In case you wondered about the Santas on the stairs in the last shot, here is a picture of them without me blocking the view. I should clean up my steps and bring some Santas down to cheer myself up. I have a few Christmas decorations out, amidst the mess I keep trying to clean. Will things ever look better? Will my house ever be ready to receive guests? Will anybody deign to come over if I do get cleaned up? For the answers to these and other questions of greater or lesser interest, stay tuned to Mohawk Valley Girl!
