Someone stop me??

I'm going *crazy* here with ideas that we just can't afford to do.

I want to get some lawn ornaments (those nifty lighted reindeer, maybe a sleigh).

I want to get wreaths for our door and two front windows (the two we can reach -- don't think I'm going to do anything to the foyer window).

I just started thinking of a "wine tree" to put on DH's wine rack/table. That would be so cute!!

I want a medium-sized tree (5' or there-abouts) in our bedroom.

I want a medium-sized tree to put in the gameroom (yeah right -- WHERE?)

I want a small tree for the kitties, decorated with cat ornaments and maybe even kitty toys.

I want two large poinsettas (artificial since we have the kitties) to put in the living room.

I want two *real* poinsettas to put outside the front door.

I want a little sleigh plant-holder to put out by the front door.

I want a Christmas village to put on top of the entertainment center.

I want some of the animated toys to put in the corner of the dining room with the tree.

I want lights for our windows, and for our trees out front (though that would *really* look wimpy since we don't have large trees yet).

I want lights at least on our garage. (We don't have much place to hang lights outdoors without getting to the top of the second story, which neither DH nor I should do)

ARGH!!!!

After Christmas sales!

Theres always next year... we wont be doing any decorating this year....

Just chant to yourself...."After Christmas Sales, After Christmas Sales, After Christmas Sales." Then pick the one thing you want the most....perhaps the wreaths and save the rest for after the holidays when you'll find much of it on sale. Instead of a tree in your bedroom perhaps see what Christmasy scent you like best at Yankee Candle for this year.

Can't do any scents, unfortunately.

I love those wicker/ratan lawn deers that are covered with clear lights. I only like the big ones. Anyway, they had the perfect animated one, a buck that lowers his head to graze, on sale on Thanksgiving and I could kick myself for not getting it. It was on sale for $39.99! It was beautiful! They also had the doe that lays down next to the buck, but I didn't see how much that was. Anyway, skip the lawn ornaments this year, but next Thanksgiving look for them on sale!

I say tuck that money away and save it for a WDW trip!
