A Glimpse Of Our Christmas


Our First Ever Real Tree
(I absolutely love it and may never do a fake tree again.)


Santa In His Place
(the bone is for the dog, the ornament for another cat,
 and do you see the Christmas Nail hanging in the background?)


The Stockings Were Hung
(these three have been with us since 1993 when it was just me, dad, and new baby)


By The Front Door
(a candle holder the oldest made in kindergarten, a dollar store manger scene,
 and an empty looking mailbox of Christmas cards...
 doesn't anyone mail cards anymore?)


Our Front Porch
(and my prized childhood sled underneath the tree)


Flowers In Bloom All Year Long
(a favorite of mine of living where we live, no matter what the holiday)

I see a lot of memories here..the quilt, tree skirt, Santa, sled, are you like me, as you decorate you remember each piece where and when you got it ....that's how memories are made.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas....
Love You
Mom

I'm with you on the real tree; it's all we've ever had. Not this year, of course. I just realized, even though we're not doing a tree, I need to get the manger and the holy family out of hiding!

BEAUTIFUL, just beautiful Christmas spirit in everything you do. Love that front porch. The Trees and sled are very nice. The Nativity Set is so sweet, dollar store or not. I stopped mailing Christmas cards a few years ago. We send them online now. Take care.
