It's no secret that I love Christmas! I have always loved decorating with all the treasures I have gathered over the years. Some gifted, some handmade.
The memories are lovely as each piece is unwrapped and placed in it's spot or hung on the tree. Remembering the who, the when and the where.
I love this piccie of my children on Santa's knee.....it was always a special occassion.....a visit to "Big Town " from the suburbs. The wide eyes viewing the moving display in the Myers windows and of course a visit to Santa....who they deemed was the "real" Santa and earned the title of "Big Town Santa" lol! I am always right back there when I look at this photo.....
The Christmas tree like most of us is also full of special decorations.
I also love my wooden tree full of beautiful handmade ornaments from blogging friends....always a pleasure to see them each year.
Of course I have to have some Christmas quilts........
Books for big people and little people and a memory box with lots of Santa pics to admire and have a giggle over.....
A collection of Heartwood Creek Santas by Jim Shore are amongst my favourites.
Especially these two......Santas with beautiful creatures with them. All of this collection have been gifts from family and a very special friend.
A few other little groupings.....
And a little bling for the table....
So there you have my Christmas decorating.....
I do hope that you experience joy doing the same....whether it's a smattering or a seasonal explosion...lol!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
