Fourth Day Of Winter

The downstairs tree is complete.

The fancy Christmas Tree skirt is actually a piece of brown velvet that Far Guy used to use as a cape at his Grandma H’s house. We have used it as a tree skirt for years and years.

This is my newest ornament which is a gift from Adam.  He gave it to me last night..it has his name and the date on the back.  There is nothing more precious to me than a simple homemade gift.

This is a Santa that Madison made for me in school last year.  It sits in it’s spot next to the fireplace. Madison did a wonderful job painting it!

That jug is one of my simplest decorations..I bought it in Kentucky ..it has a Poinsettia on one side and is plain on the other side..so it stays out all year round.

Simple things..one of lifes little pleasures this time of year.  One more day..and all the hoopla will be over.. the stores will close..the bells that ring will be Church bells announcing the birth of Christ..the carols that will be sung will finally have some meaning…the Christ Child is born! :)
