Getting ready for Christmas at Thanksgiving

This year we decided to do our Christmas decorations before Christmas, and it worked out so well that we think we'll do that every year.

The fireplace mantle makes a great place to put the Christmas village.

We even decorated the amazing wooden dive helmet we got in Tarpon Springs.

We had company for Thanksgiving again this year: Pete, Donna, their son and his wife, Randy's great nephew Lance, his wife Marla and their son Liam.
