Welcome to the Christmas Tour!

We are pleased as punch with the way our home looks-- all decked out for Christmas and all! 

I know many of you did your decorating before Thanksgiving. We're just a bunch of lazy Rednecks, so we don't get too ahead of ourselves in our decorating. But now that Thanksgiving and my birthday have come and gone, we got down to the business of tastefully overdecorating.

And because you may be overwhelmed by the 187 photographs Daughter C and I took of the overdecorated joint today, I'll present them in stages, as if you were doing a home tour. We'll begin with the foyer and surrounds.

This is what Christmas is all about.

More to come.
