Advent Calendar ~ Day 23!

23. Favourite ornament theme or color?

Well, I got all excited about blue and silver, or red and green and gold, but really, my Christmas taste is pretty random. I am slowly working on a theme for when I get my own tree—mermaids and pirates, but it’ll take some time.

 

The dolls have a tree decorated entirely with my earrings.  So whatever decoration scheme that becomes.

 

In other Christmas news, I have redeveloped a total fancrush on Michael Caine.  We re-watched the Muppet Christmas Carol last night and oh my GOD he is a spectacular Scrooge. The part where he does a little half-assed dance along with Christmas Present’s song, the part where he gets so into the Yes and No game and then just gets crushed when he finds out his family hates him, and of course his stalling so he won’t see his name on the tombstone*—I couldn’t stop squeaking with glee at his total badass acting. That’s definitely a movie worth watching over and over.

 

 

*We had never noticed before that he deliberately tries to go to a different tombstone because he knows what’s coming, which led to our alternate ending: “‘Bill Dithers’?  Man, no kidding, that guy’s an asshole. Anyway, back to being a miserable miser!”

Can we have pictures of the earring-decorated tree, please? That sounds awesome.

Right now I have three different baubles* and a painted wooden star which will one day hang in a tree.I aim to have a tree were no two ornaments are the same, lots of different colours, and ornaments that are (to my mind) pretty, beautiful, and not tacky.





*One with mirror mosaic like a mini disco ball, one white plastic covered in shimmering glitter, and a glittery golden one with multicoloured rhinestones.

my garland is decorated with blue and white lights (snagged from leftover set decorations of a show I was in in college in 1986) with silver tinsel and most of the ornaments are blue, silver, snowflakes, or Star Wars.

I'm big on glass ornaments with indentations. I love those things. Also hedgehogs.

I love that movie to death.
