The Christmas Tree

A be-ribboned wicker basket filled with the presents that are for giving to others outside of our home.  Some presents under the tree and cards from kind people.  Surrounded by loveliness, chocolate...do you see the Thornton's advent calender?  The wooden one from last years sits above it next to the TV...that's the dogs one believe it or not!! Filled with little dog treats!!Its had a few more things placed under it since this picture was taken, i also stocked up on some more bows and ribbons, so i want to show off those....massive meters of fabulous ribbons tying up bags of coffee beans!! Honestly!!  I never mind tying things up with ribbon as most of it is kept in the house and the same ribbons get pulled out year after year!!
