It's Looking Like Christmas Again

This is the hutch in the kitchen. I took the doors off so its easier to see my dishes, vases, and glassware. I have lots more crystal and dishes but put much of it away since the doors are open.

6 ft flocked pencil tree is next to the hutch and is titled Gingerly Gingers.

This tree is my smallest at 1 ft. The tea set with cups, cake, etc., were received as a gift from my dear friend, Terri Lee (Australia). This tree is aptly named Sugar and Spice.

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas - Day 17

This small tree -- Friendship Frenzy -- may only be two feet but it is one of my favorites because each ornament holds a special meaning to me.

Star-shaped Gingerbread Cookie - The cookie reminds me of my love of gingerbread and the friendships of my online group, 12 Months of Christmas.

Santa - Santa reminds me of my belief in the Christmas spirit. It also reminds me to help others.

Jeweled Cross - The cross reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus is the reason for this blessed season.

Pickle - The pickle reminds me of my German ancestry. It also reminds me of my son, Cameron (his nickname is Pickle).

Glass Heart - The heart is a reminder of my love for my friends.

Glass Blue Teardrop - The teardrop reminds of my favorite color and the love of crafting.

Flag/Red Ball - This ornament reminds me of my love of my country -- Good Ol' USA -- and my military history.

Crocheted Angel - The angel reminds of all the people and friends who were supportive during my bout of cancer.

This tree stays up all year long. (The angels get packed away after the Christmas season. Usually there are various photographs of my children

surrounding the tree.)

These are some of the nativities I have collected over the years.

This is an angel with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, in the angel's embrace. (Unfortunately, the flash automatically turned on so you cannot see the detail.)

This is a ceramic nativity found at Big Lots.

This nativity set was started for me when I was child. Sadly, many of the pieces were broken &/or lost after many moves so all I have left is Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The stable was made by my brother, John.
