Happy Christmas

As I have said before we have a very small unit and garden, so storing things like Christmas trees for 11 months of the year has never really come into the equation.  We picked up a Christmas tree outlined with lights and suspended it on our reading lamp stand.  The family have looked at it with derision.... until now!  A package arrived in the mail from my dear mom and she sent all these lovely little wire and bead ornaments and it has taken my Christmas tree to a whole new level.  thank you Mom!
 Look at the detail on this little star!
 and this one  - I love how they have the circle bits in the middle
 and I have an angel - I love angels - how beautifully she reflects the lights.  My mom is an angel - always visiting others and taking care of the "oldies (she is 87!)
 Look at this tree with a star on the top :)
 I put the other colorful angel right on the top!
 Here is my nativity scene on the coffee table - I love their cute faces and we can move them around to tell the Christmas story.


After having Christmas here in Australia, I will be off on a wild adventure with my two daughters.  We will be in Malaysia for three weeks!
On my return I will post some photos on my travel blog - starting the first week of February.  I will post a link from here.
Thank you to my wonderful readers - I know I have not always been very regular, and I thank you for hanging in there when I have not been able to think of anything marvelous to say, or too lazy to get out the camera. .

Happy Christmas everyone -
I hope your day is spent with friends and family,
and I hope your New Year is filled with many blessings.
