This is what happens when you are experiencing Christmas Overwhelm. I had time to make the centerpiece, and decorate the house. Yet I was unable to meet the challenge of decorating the tree. So here it stands, let's hope it makes it back into the box before March 2010.
This is actually the first year something like this happened. So any other working women who have a story of Christmas Overwhelm, let's hear it.
Fortunately everything else (dinners, brunches, presents, wrapping, baking, family gatherings....) went on as scheduled. So give it up, a tree without trimmings is a beautiful site. Were there decorations at the first Christmas?

Here is what the centerpiece looks like completed. Proof that it was easy and one can be creative and inspired. I like simple. I like natural looking pieces. This is the finished product by following the directions listed at the link given on this blog. It took me less than 1 hour to put all of this together. That's my kind of project, immediate results and beautiful. I have never taken a floral design course. I used all evergreen scraps from the local "Do-It-Yourself" store. I clipped the Florida holly from a tree at my church. The foam, tray and candles cost about $2. This project gets 5 ***** .
