Brother Bill reminded me the other day that I haven't done a blog post since he sent me the awesome retro bike. I was gob-smacked by it! Here we have a little Christmas blog post. We've all been seeing Christmas stuff in stores for months. Most "public" trees are done by interior design folks - they're all matchy-matchy and boring. At home, we have a mix of old & new ornaments. The old ones are my faves. Here is a little white reindeer I remember from childhood. There were probably 8 of them in the original set - only this one survived. Unless Bill-Ding has one.
This ugly little elf always goes toward the bottom of the tree, tucked into the branches. Isn't he cute?
This is a nice blown glass nativity, given to me years ago by the couple who helped us through pre-marriage prep. That marriage didn't last, but the ornament is gorgeous. Wherever they are, I hope that couple has a jillion grandkids & they're happy and healthly.
Here's one that niece Beth made me when she was a kid. She's in her 40's now with kids of her own.
I had my final vacation day of the year today, which was super hectic with shopping, errands, lawn-mowing (it's Texas!) and more shopping. Time to take a little breather. Spend time with your loved ones this holiday season, cook something together, and get some rest. PEACE to all!
