Home for the Holiday

We have been, maybe I should say, I have been in a decorating frenzy and Doug is helping wherever he can. I want this year to be special. Due to all the sadness the last few weeks, and the empty home now that Selena is gone, Doug and I have been trying to bring in the season's spirit of peace.



This year we bought a Nordham Pine. The tree lot owner told us they were the most hardy of the Christmas trees. They can live up to 8 weeks without losing their needles if you keep them
watered. The underneath of the needles are a beautiful silvery sage color. It smells lovely, and we had a blast decorating it.










For the first time in my life I have a bay window to put my tree in. I LOVE MY BAY WINDOW :) almost as much as I love my tree. It is wonderful to have a place to tuck the tree.










Here is my nativity. I made it five years ago . Sadly there isn't room for my lovely camels this year. Maybe next year I will be in a slightly more spacious place in Texas so I can put the whole set out:) Happy Holidays all of you wonderful people. You are loved and missed during this blessed holiday
season.
