But Tierney Christmas is Long Over…

I know, I know, but a week or so ago they were taking down the Christmas tree display at my favorite library (see my 2023 post O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Trees… for images of their awesome 2023 holiday season display) and I just had to run around and take photos of the 2024 themed Christmas tree displays before they all came down!

So here we go:

In case there are any you couldn’t figure out, they are in order: Beetlejuice, Winnie the Pooh, Super Mario, Garfield, Cat in the Hat, Charlotte’s Web, Curious George, How to Train Your Dragon, Little House on the Prarie, and Indiana Jones.

I remember seeing library staff in November setting up the trees. A lot of work and creativity goes into these trees each year. There were many more trees than I share above but many of them had been taken down by early January.

I do love my library and I appreciate they do special things like this:

And in the Women’s restroom they have free feminine products for the community:

The library is such a wonderful place!

Postscript

Just a little beginning of the year silliness: John and I love to go to the store HomeGoods and wander around looking at stuff we don’t need.

Well the other week we found these ridiculous items (my apologies if you already have these in your home or want to add them to your home) – a giant box of fried chicken sculpture, and a giant stack of pizza slice sculpture. We laughed pretty hard at these sights!

Also if you look closely at the image above, you will see on the floor a giant sculpture of a stack of Oreo cookies. Please note I used the term “sculpture” very loosely – ha!

  1. Great Christmas trees! And as far as the “sculptures”, I guess they could have a use in aversion therapy if you were trying to quit junk food. I for one could easily give up pizza if I had that spongy yellow stack of slices looking at me. 🙂

  2. I love seeing the trees. The library is truly a special place. As for the sculptures. My husband used to work with a guy who had a big round tray of hoagies, like you’d serve at your football party, in a plasticky substance. Every time I went to the office, I shuddered. Creepily realistic.

  5. I love those trees, Tierney. What fun it must be to look at them and discover all the little things they have used to create each one. What a contrast to the ‘sculptures’.

  8. What cool Christmas trees! You have a pretty cool library 🙂 And those sculptures are pretty hilarious! We don’t get into Home Goods much, because I think things like that are great and my DH does not want to chance them ending up in our house 🙂
