Decorating our lovely tree by the railroad tracks!

It's Beginning to look like a Hallmark Movie Canonsburg Christmas!


What an honor to be asked to participate in the decorating of one of the town pine trees for Canonsburg's Old Fashioned Christmas sponsored by the Hallmark Channel.  I am sharing some photos of our day spent in Canonsburg decorating the tree and hanging out with Mayor Rhome!

Lauren and I at the borough building checking out the old barn.

I always hang the largest ornaments first, even on this beautiful big pine tree!  These ornaments were huge!

Mayor David Rhome attaching the bows at the top.  We were discussing the best plan of attack for this tall beauty and these very large glittery bows.  The Mayor ended up putting two of them back to back...one on the front facing Pike Street and one on the back. 

Adding more ornaments and picturing myself in a Hallmark 
movie with our wonderful friends and family!

My shirt says It's beginning to look a lot like a Hallmark Canonsburg Christmas!  We love our town and the Hallmark Channel.  I loved these large white snowflakes we added to the tree.  They really popped on the fir.

John in the holiday spirit is attaching some large glitter striped ornaments to the side.  Notice how I am supervising this!

Lauren and I stopping for a cute photo opportunity while working so hard in the windy conditions.  It was starting to rain but we forged through the weather and got the job done.  Lonny helped us by putting wire on the balls.

Teamwork makes the dream work-look how lovely it's looking!

A train even came by and waived at us decorating.  I bet that was a first for this engineer!

John was thrilled to wave at the engineer and see this 
large engine coming through.  He LOVES trains!

I am handing Mayor some ornaments for higher up.  
He loved putting those up high.  Perfectionist tree decorator!

Mayor David Rhome, Lauren Ruffing, Debra and John Ruffing proud of the beautiful tree we decorated for our towns celebration.


O Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches!

We had a great time volunteering with Mayor David Rhome and Lonnie Flood.  Thank you for letting us be a part of this community event.  The pine tree in the Jean Popp garden got a big "popp" of Christmas cheer this week.  We finished just in time for Canonsburg's Old Fashioned Christmas celebration sponsored 
by Hallmark Channel.
