Merry Christmas! more nostalgia

 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!
