On the 22nd day of Christmas

There is groaning every year when we open the attic to bring down the Christmas decorations.

Much groaning.

Mostly by my husband.

But–

when the boxes are emptied and the decorations are up, we are so glad we took the time to decorate.000_0077




Most of our decorations are handmade.  000_0072




Some by me, some by the kids, some by family, some by blogging friends.000_0066




And each of those decorations makes me smile.000_0068

the friends000_0074




the loved ones000_0071




and their love and Christ’s Love for me.

  1. I love the part of being reminded of someone with something special! I used my snowman apron yesterday & have my tree napkins out 😉 Those are very special items to me bc they were made by you!
    Merry Christmas friend!
