We do though have a few tubs of Christmas decorations so we don't need to buy more (just a tree maybe). As for your co-worker, I think that some of the ornaments at the dollar store look just as nice as the ones in the expensive department stores. Maybe the packaging or the presentation is different, but it's all basically the same stuff made in the same place. And I love Star Wars, but those Yoda lights are pretty darn ugly.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-87129164112905462762013-10-24T19:49:43.922-07:002013-10-24T19:49:43.922-07:00I keep my holiday decorating to a minimum.
