I didn\u2019t purchase any new ornaments this year!&#160; You can see close ups of the ornaments in my previous posts <a href=\"http:\/\/decorhappy.blogspot.ca\/search\/label\/tree\">here<\/a>.&#160; They are a mixture of vintage, handmade by my daughter, gifts from friends with pink and gold being the main colours. And the lone blue ornament on the left \u2013 that\u2019s my husband\u2019s Mets ornament from years ago.&#160; I try and hide it near the back. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">I also need to get shopping and wrapping! Nothing much under the tree right now, athough I have done a few gift exchanges with family and friends already.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">(Oh, and if you clicked back to the previous trees, doesn\u2019t the wallpaper add so much to the entry? And the neutral drapes and rug look much more quiet than what I had before.)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Is your tree up yet? And real or artificial? I\u2019m linking up <a href=\"http:\/\/thriftydecorchick.blogspot.ca\/2012\/12\/christmas-tree-party-2012.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">PS Congrats to my niece who is getting married today in Scotland!
