Merry Christmas Eve!

 

We did a whimsical Christmas tree this year… filled with child-like fun and fantasy.

Even my very first ornament from back in the 1950s is here. The little bird no longer has a tail, but it flies in the tree splendidly.

 

 

 

 

 

Other ornaments pay tribute to the various 4-legged family members who shared Christmas Past with us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another treasure is the manger scene that graced my grandparents’ home back in the late 1940s.

 

I find great comfort in decorating with special items from dear friends and family, both past and present.

 

 

 

Such trinkets remind me of all the love with which I have been blessed.

 

 

 

May you find comfort in your blessings now and throughout the new year. Merry Christmas!
