deck the halls!

It's
beginning
to
look
a
little
like
Christmas
around
 here!
*
*
*
The tree is up.


*
My nativity set adorns the mantle,


*
and another is set up for Dayton and Olivia.



There's a fire in the fireplace,
*


There's snowmen and snowflake soaps in the bathroom...
*

*
and a couple of seasonal bathtub friends...
*

*
and,
 at a recent
thrift shop visit,
I
found
this
nativity
candle holder.
It
is
a
beautiful
reminder
to
my family
and
me
of
the
real
reason
 for
Christmas.
*

"For unto you is born this day
in the city of David
a
Savior,
which
is
 Christ
the
Lord."
LUKE 2:11
*
I hope you'll stop by again
to
see
what else this
"work in progress"
has
been
up
to.
This is only the beginning!
I'm so happy to share the JOY  with you!
Special thanks to
Tracey
at
for hosting this
Virtual Holiday Home Tour!
Hers is one of my all time favorite blogs!
She is an inspiring and creative woman and
I think she runs on the same batteries as the
Eveready bunny!
Thank you, Tracey,
and thank you
 to all of you
who came by.
Don't be a stranger.  Leave a comment and I'll stop by and say hello.

"...and so I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninty two...
although it's been said
many times,
many ways,
Merry
Christmas
to
   you!"

  3. The children's nativity set caught my eye. Perfect for children. Now I want to go and find one!
    But my favorite is the mantel set, wonderful.
