Red and Green and ...Santa will soon be here!

Just where does the time go?  This day, this week, the month of November, the year 2010, all have slipped by so quickly.  I always heard that time goes by faster as we get older.  I really believe that is true. At least it certainly has been in my experience.  It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is past, we've eaten all the sweet potato pies and made soup of the turkey bones and left overs and now the count down for Christmas is underway.  At the rate I am going, I might--just might--get the Christmas tree up before December 25.  Hubby actually got the life sized Santa out of storage and standing on the front porch one day this week. And people are putting guitars, violins and other things on lay-a-way in our music store, Mr. Bandman. 
Aside of getting my tree up, I am way behind on the ESN scavenger hunt for the week. I think I get the booby prize again this week for being so slow. The theme of this week's hunt was Red and Green.  If you search the photos at ESN, you will see there is no shortage of Red and Green items. Deciding which items to choose is much harder than finding Red and Green items. However, here goes:


 If you are like me and still in the planning stages of decorating, you might find a use for this and it is both Red and Green.

And look at this beautiful green sherbet dish. I can think of several festive ways  to use this for holiday decorating.
