Gothidays 1 - the Gargoyle

The Professor has a holiday challenge this year: "Show us how you celebrate or don't celebrate the holidays. Do you completely 'goth-ify' the season or do you opt for a more traditional holiday? Show us what you celebrate and how you celebrate it."

I love this idea! However, I rarely get my holiday decorations up this early in the season -- too busy &/or lazy. I've never been one of those people who decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. I'm lucky to have everything decorated the week before the holiday! But oh yes, I do mix up a liberal dose of Halloween style with Christmas, always have, so this week, I'll share some pix of years past...

This gargoyle watches over our living room year-round.
At the holidays, he gets a Santa cap & watches over the stockings. With care.
Just a little example of how my everyday gothic decor gets a touch of Christmas sprinkled around. Do you add holiday touches to things that are always in your house?

    Fantastic! I love the Santa hat on the gargoyle!!! I do the same thing -- I give my hanging bats candy canes to hold. :) Thanks for participating!

    Yay :D We have a skeleton in our window all year through and I give him a santa hat every year too xD I'm so curious what the neighbors think when they walk by.

    Funny, this one was given to us as a wedding gift by my (very not goth) aunt who's an interior decorator :)

    Our skulls get Santa hats this time of year. I also bought some Jack & Sally stocking a few years ago to hang up.

    I love the Gargoyle! I must find a new one myself. We had a creaky old fellow my gentleman bumped when untangling Halloween webbing. He was beyond repair. :-( I have Santa hats for my human sized skulls, and the rest get wrapped in garland...and the boy stays far away from them! LOL
