The Tree is now trimmed.
The Christmas Village is now arranged.
The banister is now draped.
The Nutcracker display is now, well, displayed.
And I’m exhausted. But at least it’s all done.
And now I can move on. To the shopping. And the wrapping. No, there will not be any baking again this year – it’s not really my thing (but if you have any extras, I’ll gladly take them).
I am, however, slightly concerned about the Nutcrackers.
This is what they looked like after I had set them out . . .
(can you see me? There? In the middle? The Only Girl amongst all those men?)
And this is what I found when I came back about an hour later . . .
Several of the men appeared to be passed out cold. And that girl whore was chatting up two others! Okay, I KNOW they had been boxed up for about 11 months, but really? Out of storage for barely an hour and a big party breaks out? Honestly Nutcrackers. Have some self-control! I’m so disappointed. I swear – if I find ANY puke on my area rug . . .
Or maybe a certain little 6 year old got a hold of them and decided they were his personal toys. Perhaps I shouldn’t be too hard on the Nutcrackers. Perhaps I need to have a talk with the 6 year old instead.

I have to say that I too am a Nutcracker collector, and I just love them even if they are a bit creepy!!! but that girl Nutcracker or whatever it is, is the creepiest thing I have ever seen!!! It is one of the only Nutcracker standing because the 6 year old is scared to death to touch it!!!! Where the hell did you ever get such a thing, and don’t ever bring it around here!! You hear me!!!!!

I would get to the bottom of that situation STAT! You don’t need a hussy nutcracker running around your house… or else you may have to invest in a golf club, Elin Woods style.

I love how you have one girl surrounded by men!

I love your nutcracker collection – especially the girl! It’s too funny that your kiddo did that. Mine would have, too.

LOL! So cute! I have nutcrackers too but they’re on a shelf this year where The Bella can’t reach ‘em. I had to hot glue some body parts already this year so I wasn’t taking any chances!!!!
That would be on the nutcrackers, not The Bella….just to clarify!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
