So, more holiday spirit. Today it is a totally weird weather day in Atlanta, not Christmassy at all. A thunderstorm woke me up around for 4am this morning with heavy rain and gusty winds. I thought the house might fall apart but it must not have been too bad because the furry kids slept right through it. Then it had temperatures in the 60s when I left to go to work and supposedly we should get back into the 40s by the time I get to go home. Oh well… That’s not global warming, is it?
So, my tree has been up since Thanksgiving evening. To find all the decorations, I rummaged through the basement and found a box of really cool Cirque De Soleil ornaments, which I have never seen in my entire life before. Some of you might remember that my late husband was a very crazy jigsaw puzzle collector. In addition he also collected matchbox cars, die cast model cars and Christmas ornaments, with the exception that I knew about all the collections but the ornaments (and yes, all the collections are still stashed in my basement). So here I am, trying to find the tree and the ornaments I knew of and all of a sudden I am confronted with a flood of boxes that I have never really noticed, because my basement is full of boxes. So, there are probably at least half a dozen big moving boxes full of unknown ornaments, organized by brand etc. Yep, he was compulsive and organized. I was totally overwhelmed by these findings. Especially with the thought of what to do with all the ornaments... I could probably stock an entire Christmas store…
So, I am still thinking… Let me know if you have any ideas.
And here are pictures of the tree, decorated with Cirque De Solail, Swarovski crystal and silver stars.

Claudia, I love it so much that you're still finding Irwin's treasures. I hope that they make you smile! I love those Cirque du Soliel ornaments, they are amazing!
As for suggestions for what to do with them? Perhaps you can have a different tree each year? Some families have multiple trees too.
