More Christmas Things

The Murph and I received a gift certificate to Pier 1 Imports for our wedding.  I tried to order some things online, but their website doesn't seem to allow you to pay with gift cards so today we went to the actual store nearby and shopped in the "old fashioned" way.   I got these candles and candle holders, a tiered serving tray, a condiment holder, a cheese board, a rectangular serving dish, and two raised cake stand, one white one and one clear.  And yes, of course we went a little over the gift card amount when we went inside the store and saw all the cute, festive things we really didn't need, but that's what happens.  Stores are planned out that way and I fall right into the buying"trap."

I also discover The Murph's one small, lonely box of Christmas ornaments hidden in a closet downstairs.  Before I moved in he hadn't had an actual tree up in years.   Instead he had one of those indoor/outdoor spiral lighted trees in the corner of his family room.    Who knows when the last time these ornaments have been on a Christmas tree.  I took care of that this year and divided them up between two of the trees.  Most of his ornaments were either lighthouses or baseball theme related with the occasional green leprechaun Irish Santa and some Catholic angels thrown in the mix.

This one is really cute!  My Murph's team, The Mets.  Now my adopted team too!  Maybe they will start winning more now with our combined positive energy directed at them.

This one looks like something you would find at McGuires Irish Pub, one of my favorite restaurants in Pensacola and the Boy's all-time favorite that doesn't involve Mexican food.

So happy to have the Murph's ornaments commingling with mine this year!  Hope they get along better than the cats do!
