Deet’s Life- Christmas in Florida

Deet’s Fishy Christmas Tree

I live by the Gulf of Mexico and I like to decorate for Christmas in a sparkly sea theme.  I thought I’d share my tree and some of my decorations with you.  The Aqua blue tree has glittered shells, crystal chandelier drops and glass sea creature ornaments topped off with a sparkly green starfish.

Deet’s Life- New Home new Christmas Tree

Deck The Halls….Fal-la-la-la-la…la-la-la-la

When we moved to Florida for the winter the only Christmas decorations I brought along were my handmade Santa collection and my Charlie Brown Tree.  Well I went to a yard sale and found a bowl full of crystal chandelier drops which would make perfect ornaments for a Christmas Tree.  Then I saw this 4.5’ blue Christmas tree at Big Lots and thought it would go nice with the crystals.  But Wait!! Beall’s Department Store had all manner of fish and sea ornaments and I had a bowl of seashells begging for some glitter and hanging hooks.  Okay…you get the picture…or you will if you scroll down….I have a very non-traditional Christmas Tree.  In NY I have everything traditional, so this is fun.

Here is the tree just after I got it all decorated:
