I dare not direct my mom to this post, though, or she'll end up with a whole new obsession. LOL<br /><br />I can't believe that I've never heard of the dime thing. By gum...

I really don't do a thing for New Year's Eve, unless we're hosting a New Years party - not this year - and then it's a thing or two but not a whole new mantel. Love that you take down the ornaments off the tree and let everyone have a go at it on New Year's Eve. That's one way to get the tree undecorated!<br /><br />Happy New Year.<br /><br />- The TablescaperThe Tablescaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046015889036397874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-23005320104826307862011-01-02T08:19:28.017-06:002011-01-02T08:19:28.017-06:00As IF you need to explain or rationalize a love of...As IF you need to explain or rationalize a love of stuff or excess display to any of us! <br />We are not negatively judging you, we are all in awe of how wonderfully you pull it together.<br /> I had heard about the peas but think I (intentionally) forgot about the cabbage.
