Well since we are going to be in Gulf Shores over the Christmas Holidays we thought we should put up a few decorations to celebrate the holidays. Since we don't have much space to store decorations after the holidays we were looking for something either very compact so it could be stored easily or very cheap so it could be discarded or given away after the holiday season was over. Today we went north of Foley, Alabama to a store where we scored the inexpensive discard or give away type decorations. They had a one day sale on Black Friday that resulted in us buying our Christmas decorations for 70% off. Our entire decorations cost us 90 cents for the star for the front of the 5th wheel, $1.50 for the snowman that is in front of the screened room, and another $1.50 for a holly arrangement for the window of the 5th wheel. Three dollars and 90 cents and we are good to go and in the running for best decorations in the park. Not!! but at least people do know we celebrate the birth of Christ. Below are the pictures of our new decorations.
Tonight we played a new card game called Pass the Trash with five other couples at our next door neighbor Bob and Gail's place. We had a great time although we lost $4.00 which was more than the cost of our Christmas decorations.
Here is a picture of the snowman without the flash
Here is the star we put on the front of the 5th wheel.
The poinsettia and holly arrangement doesn't show up well in this picture but it looks good during the day.
My Thanksgiving dinner. Just think this tray is just like the ones I ate off of in elementary, junior high, and high school. Kind of nostalgic Isn't eBay great.
