Whew!

 

Merry, Merry and Happy Happy!

May this day be full of beauty, peace. and new beginnings!

 

The Traditional Tree

The cranberry/popcorn string, the candy canes, the icicles, the red bows and glass balls. . .

The angel I made from a kit some forty years ago. . .

The crocheted snowflakes from Lillian Vernon (is that mail order business still around?)

A heart Justin made in second grade . . .

And a tree from Josie's kindergarten days . . .

John made this Santa almost fifty years ago when we decorated a tree at my grandparent's house. . .

And a mama and baby pig--just one of my many "favorite" ornaments.

It's taken me several days, but The Tree is done! (Josie helped on one of the days.)

Bit by Slow Bit

The Christmas decorations are going up slowly--today the lights are in place . . .

Next on the list is the tree--when John can go get one.
