Holiday has come and gone. My artificial flocked tree was so pretty with the bright little lights and the antique and some modern ornaments. See below.
Also many bags of frosting.
I made veggie chili, cornbread, sweet chex mix, fruitcake, and a lemon bundt cake. Not shown, the punch bowl with Martha Stewart's eggnog (used half the alcohol).
Food!
Birdy decorated the dining room nicely.

Holiday morning Santa Matt gave me a painting, a set of Smokey the Bear stamps from 1984, and a Smokey the Bear jeep. He got a quail egg photo from his favorite photographer and a vintage cactus lamp.
New ornament- Krampus.
The plastic Santa has been in my family for over 50 years. Originally, he had candy in his sack.
Big Santa head is one of my favorites.

It was a nice holiday season, for a while I was able to overlook all of the cruddy things happening in the world.
