    That’s really common all over the world :D
    My mom in Italy did the same. We have to say that it’s nice to have that touch of magic for more days, really we can also keep a little bit of magic every day of the year.

    PS: I support fake creative Christmas trees!

  2. How nice! Another blogger I like and follow, (although surreptitiously), through my sister’s blog, Pegoleg, getting Freshly Pressed! Congrats to you! Very creative.

    Wish I could retire and do something besides teach HS students who don’t give a care about their own future.

    Enjoy the usually fabulous (I’ve heard) FPd ride!.

  3. Hahaha! So funny! Love the post and love the artwork.

    1. Thank you, glad you liked it!

  4. Just about to put my daughters to bed and showed them this piece and it counted as a bedtime story so thanks and fantastic work….

    1. Aww, this made me happy :)

  5. You’re so creative! I love your art work and storytelling.

    1. Thank you, I appreciate it!

  6. Adorable please check out my blog and feel free to leave feedback.

  7. ha ha ha… I think your mom is the source of your creativity :) congrats again of being Freshly Pressed!

  8. So cute!

  9. Sometimes a mom’s just got to let her Festives out.

  10. Very creative .niceone :-)

  11. These are so expressive!
    My daughter just came home from a play date with a “felt care package” and the beginnings of a scene in felt with a magical unicorn.
    And, ugh, my mom gave us an Elf on the Shelf… before Halloween. I was going to leave the guy hangin’ on a certain shelf, but then she MOVED him when she came over to visit and my daughter noticed. She taught my two-year-old to spot the Elf… “Elf” is now part of his limited vocabulary. The Elf is our sole Christmas decoration, and I remember to move him a few times a week. He taunts me about my inadequacy as a mother.
    Just as your blog post taunts me about my inadequacy as a crafty mom (just kidding).
    Congrats on the FP!

    1. My daughter loves playing with felt scenes, too. (Me, too actually!) My comics are actually made of scrap paper and recycling, though… even felt gets too expensive after a while!

      1. Ohhhhh! Well, whether they’re made of paper or felt… they are brilliant and one of the most unique and funny things I’ve seen in a long time. I have that “I am right, You are wrong” song stuck in my head, btw. Thanks for that…

        1. Ha! Oh, I am so sorry! I have been punished enough, though– my small daughter memorized the song when I was editing it, and she STILL sings it to me whenever she is right and I am wrong. Torture.

          1. I will have to remember to never let my daughter watch it. She already has a superiority complex.

  12. aww so beautifully funny! :D

    1. Thank you! I’m glad you think so!

  13. Such a creative post! I definitely agree with the topic. Here, we can see Christmassy things even since summer.

  15. i like this cutout art blog it is so cool

  16. I am loving your ‘fuzzy felt’ creations.

    1. :D Thank you– they are made of paper, actually! They do look like felt when scanned at a high resolution.

  17. I like the Thxgiving tree even better.. but still with twinkly lights.

    1. The Thanksgiving Tree made my day. There is nothing like seeing a big, fat turkey on top of a tree.

    Believe it or not, where I live… Decorations began before Halloween.
    My goodness.

    1. :D Thanks! Those decorations are always trying to creep in early

  21. That is far too awesome.

  22. Clever, and the idea is appropriate for the season. What I really appreciate is the amount of work involved in telling the story with your fabulous pictures. Your technique and medium is very different from anything I’ve seen before.
    Great job!.

    1. Thank you! It’s a technique I really enjoy.

  23. This is so cute! I love your figures in your story!

      1. How did you come up with these figures? http://www.segmation.com

    1. :D I’m glad you found it again, too!

  27. Oh my Gosh! this is so cute and very smart!!! nice post to cheer anyone’s up :)

    Freshly Pressed again! You are like God to me.

  36. so precious. what an entry to savor.

  37. I love your tree. I also loved just watching our tree with all the lights and decorations. Then I would sing to myself, Oh Christmas Tree, thy leaves are so unchanging … Oh Christmas Tree,such pleasure do you bring me… I guess it is the unchanging part that I like. It is all about family tradition.

  38. HAHAHA!! This is great! Speaking of holiday-mashing, my mom did the same thing for me in the form of a gift :)

    That was something –Not what I expected, but the picture-story was really enjoyable

  45. Freshly Pressed! Hooray! And now the world will know about the fan-tastic Christmas tree/revolving holiday decor I plan to launch soon! Oh…I guess that’s not good since the patent is still pending.

    I’ve said it before but I really don’t know how you’re not Freshly Pressed every week.

    Love, love, love your blog. The facial expressions have me in stitches! This particular post reminds me of the time my mom put up a Christmas tree in April. True story.
