Oh Christmas Tree !

Sitting on my kitchen counter is a Santa holding some ginger bread cookies that set off the theme for this years decorations.  I started collecting ginger bread men last year with little success.  A dear Internet friend sent me a large stuff ginger bread man as a gift last year, when she heard about my plight of doing a Ginger Bread theme.  So as we traveled around the country this past year I search for those little men and ornaments that related to my theme.  I had a lot of success at the Cracker Barrel stores and antique stores.  

The culprit who started it all.....Santa image
Note the stuffed Ginger Bread Man sitting to the left, he started a full blown plight on my part.
