The tree is up!! A tiny three-footer and my first REAL tree ever. Also my first tree I've set up in my apartment for years!
This is one of my fave ornaments, given to me by an auntie years ago.
This little guy was from my Mom a few years ago ....
This is a makeshift retro ornament, a red crystal bauble that used to hang on a chandelier, which I picked up for a few dollars at an antiques shop on Mount Pleasant Rd.
Apparently the red pieces aren't so easy to find. I just strung a golden thread through it and voila: instant holiday bling!
Here's the tree! Isn't it just the cutest? Kinda Who-Down-In-Whoville, yes? A bit blurry, sorry for that.
Here's another Christmas tradition I haven't celebrated in years: hanging my Christmas stocking, which I've had since I was a wee kid. Think my Mom bought it decades ago at an independent retailer in Ottawa (now long gone) called Towers.
Not sure if you can see "Kelly" written on Santa's white belt?
Someone in my house, who's not from Canada, has a new stocking, picked up at the Bay.
Sometimes ya gotta start new traditions, right?
