Done Decking

I've decked my halls as much as I'm going to for this year. I've got the boxes put back in the closet and now I can just enjoy all the festive-ness around here. I didn't take pictures of everything because seriously who wants to look at it all?!



Here is my tree! You can't really tell from this picture, but the lights are really twinkly. I love my ornaments and the memories they bring me and I love my tree!




Please ignore the speakers... This is my pride and joy when it comes to Christmas decorations. I have this thing for Willow Tree angels (they are so beautiful!) and I love nativities. My parents gave me this nativity a couple of years ago for my birthday. I promptly broke one of the wisemen's head off but you'd never know now. Thank goodness for super glue! Anyway, I love this (even with the speakers)!




Last weekend I went to a local tradition here...Journey Through Bethlehem. Several local churches get together and put on a live pageant type thing of the nativity story. It was a lot of fun! There were a lot of animals to pet (I got up close and personal with a llama!) and things to taste. I even got to participate in a Jewish wedding dance. I know that Christmas isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoy the season. I had a great time at this and I think there are a couple of other Christmas story type things going on here in town that I'll go to before the end of the month. It all helps keep me focused on what is important to me about the season!
