A Deconstructed Christmas - Day

 I decided in the middle of November to have a deconstructed Christmas this year.  

What is a deconstructed Christmas?

Well, there are some trees.

There are some lights.

There are some ornaments.

They are just not all together.

There are little vignettes of Christmas around the den.

I tend to love primitive stuff and warm rich colors.

I left out all my toolboxes and caddies and buckets and aluminum molds 

And of course, the sheep stayed out.

I just threw in a vintage Christmas thing or two and piled the lights in colanders and baskets.

All in a deconstructed way!

I'll stop talking and let you enjoy the look.

You knew there would be a truck with trees.

One whole corner. 

Deconstructed!

A fat, jolly, old elf.

Cookie cutters in a sieve.

Vintage reindeer frolic.

Christmas at the barn.

A star on the star.

Santa convention in the old drill box.

Caroling around the old milk bottle.

I will have to explain - that is a black cat goblin dressed as Santa with his Christmas pumpkin.

No, you are not seeing things!

I have three of the little drunken Santas.

They are my favorites.

So what was your favorite?

The greatest thing about a deconstructed Christmas is not having to drag twelve bins of Christmas stuff down from the attic.

Instead of one big tree, there are several small ones.

I used most of the things that are out all year round.

Less packing up after Christmas.

Will I deconstruct more next year?

I just might.

It was fun to create and I have enjoyed looking at all the small details.

Next I will post the deconstructed Christmas at night.

See y'all!
