    This is my seasonal tree.  It stays up year round and is decorated for each holiday.  I always hae white lights on it.  In between holidays I have it decorated with wild life ornaments--wolves, ducks, deer, bears, birds, etc.  On it for July 4 I have red/white/blue garland and bows, and 9 strands of stars (actually metal necklaces, 3 each in red, silver and blue, and some r/w/b carnation, flags s and ribbons.  It jus shines in the lights.

     Beautiful!  I bet you enjoyed decorating, even if you did get tired more quickly than normal.  Continue healing.  Thanks for sharing the photos!

    PS:  I looked at the first pic and was instantly reminded that you do not have cats, ha ha haaa.   Ruffles on the placemat?  Fluffy flowers?  No cats live there.

    Sandra, once again your house looks very festive for the holidays!  I don't know how you do it -- especially with the health issues you've had this year.  You're an inspiration.  I'll be lucky if I get something hung on my front door!

    I love the life-size Uncle Sam on your couch, but I have a feeling that if I walked into that room when it was a little dark, I might jump out of my skin thinking a real guy was sitting there!  I also love your decorated holiday tree.  My aunt left her artificial Christmas tree up year-round and decorated it with things for each season or holiday.  As kids, we got such a kick out of it.  I'm sure your house is very popular with your grandkids and other youngsters in your neighborhood!

    Very beautiful and you can see you do it with love.

    Looking good, Sandra!

    It is called a Seasonal Tree and my son got it for me from Terry's Village.   At Easter I had it decorated with plastic eggs, bunnies and pastel bows.  Valentines--all kinds of hearts and garland, and bows in red, white & pink.   He gave it to me last Christmas, so I still have to get/make things for Halloween, Thanksgving, but have plenty enough for Christmas.

    In between holidays I have all kinds of wild life decorations i put on it--birds, owls, wolves, deer, bears, elk, racoon, etc, etc.,.
