A Little Victorian at Christmas

OK.........go figure......I like Christmas to a certain extent, each year it varies.......it encroaches on Halloween, so right there that gives it at least one negative. Here's the figure part of go.......I like the old Victorian look for Christmas......although I do not have a Victorian bone in my body, nor do I have anything Victorian in my present surroundings. So, I guess the best way to explain it is that Victorians loved things......and to excess. They cherished objects, conceived of them, produced them, acquired them, and displayed them without tasteful restraints. How could anyone deny that fervor?............Not Me!

Why not have 100 painted Victorian ladies on vases, pitchers, and such instead of one!

And is this a refined way of saying I like clutter......the Victorian vignette..below?

UMMMM maybe..........but even though there were many objects displayed in the Victorian home.........they were arranged just so......... according to a set of strict guidelines. Any spot whether is be a table, manteltop, wall or shelf anywhere was deemed bereft and without the personal touch if it did not have a clutterly collection of something on it. The home was also thought to be unwelcoming, and neglected..........or possessing bare ugliness. That just won't do in my life either.

So........welcome to my world of Victorian Christmas Clutter...................

Enough said.........do I have a Victorian Christmas clutter table or what? No tasteful restraints here! I even see a devil in there waiting until Hell freezes over to open her gift................
