Today’s Topic: Let’s talk Christmas trees again today! As you all know, we moved into our new home back in early January of this year. I am still unpacking and trying to locate things. I couldn’t find my tree topper so I ordered a new one online & hoping it will arrive today. I purchased a 5 Point Star made out of Capiz Shells and it is pre-lit. It is for my coastal tree. Our other tree which is 7 foot tall will get our antique angel tree topper once we put it up this weekend. So, I would love to hear what kind of tree topper do you use? Does it hold any special meaning for you?

I recently purchased this Kurt Adler Capiz Star Christmas Tree Topper for our Christmas Tree. I decorate a holiday tree every year in a beach & coastal style. It looks perfect!!!

Beautiful Christmas Lights in Oklahoma

The other day when Shelly was posting all of her outdoor lights pictures, I was reminded of my trip to Oklahoma City last Christmas. I love to look at the lights and we always take at least one night during the holiday to go and see the fantastic light shows. So while we were visiting, we had to do that as well. My brother-in-law knew just where we needed to do and we spent 4 hours driving ll around Oklahoma City looking at the amazing lights that people display. I honestly had not seen anything like it before.

Beautiful Christmas Lights in Oklahoma

This is just one of the pictures that I got and it is not very clear as I was in the car and moving because there were so many cars behind us! I love the bright neon lights. It made for a stunning and bright display. There is one street where everyone had huge displays and the light flash and blink to music that is played on a particular station on the radio. Awesome!
