Decorations!

We put up the holiday decorations this past weekend. We keep it pretty much confined to one room, and we don't go overboard. I say "holiday" because we aren't religious, and, in fact, we celebrate Christmukuh.

No, we're not Jewish or Christian, but, as Seth Cohen pointed out, it's eight days of presents followed by one day of lots of presents - who doesn't like that?! :)

We have three little trees: a silver tinsel, a red tinsel and a black one. The silver one is the only one with lights, and it has our glass ornament collection on it. The other two hold our "personal" ornaments - like the ones my sister has made, ones from when we were kids, and non-glass ones that people get us. We still have about three to four more years worth of space left on the black tree, so I'm hoping to get some more ornaments. :)

We have a few odd holiday decorations. One is the rubber chicken vs. Santa. I found this in my stocking a few years ago and this little tableau has been a part of our decorations since.

We also have Quoth, the raven. He comes out of hibernation just before Halloween and hangs out with us until the new year. He wears his hat after the decorations come out.

Then there are the rats and the frogs. We like them. And they're festive. So they join us and hang out on the mantle. There are also frogs on the red tree - happy poison arrow frogs being all festive. Also note that Quoth gets along just fine with the rats. One hangs out with him, even.

So that's what we do. Not much, but we enjoy it.
