Hello all! Hoping the season has been magical thus far wherever you are whether snowed in or hoping for a white Christmas!
Just thought I'd share a bit of our holiday world today.
 |
| Since we've added a full size floor loom and another work table to our set up we had to downsize the tree a bit this year to fit it in but it is still a lively 5' Nobel Fir. |
 |
| The Santa is from the first tree I can recall as a child. I looked forward to seeing this "old friend" every year and I still do. |
 |
| And these glass ornaments must be at least 50 years old now. I've managed to keep nine of them in tact. |
 |
| Danish Christmas Snowflakes Sofie got at a Christmas market when she was in school abroad. |
 |
| One of my favorite Etsy finds of all time. Originally I wanted to make little winter scenes for them but decided we should keep most of them for ourselves to hang on the tree. |
 |
| Sofie's Grandmother's tree topper! I love this bird and look forward to placing it on the top bough every year! |
 |
And the last few years, when we had much larger trees, we needed ornaments so we made dozens of these origami bows. I am hoping to take a day next week and make a few dozen small ones to go on this year's tree.

And one last thing. . . last year we watched what is one of my favorite, nostalgic, Christmas movies which is "An American Christmas Carol" starring Henry Winkler, (yes, that's right, THE FONZ !) as the Scrooge based character. Now, I will admit, it is not as good a movie as I recalled (acting wise) from 25 years before, but I still reveled in seeing it again. It's hard to find but Netflix had it last year and it was a delight to watch. Of course, Nothing beats "A Charlie Brown Christmas" for me, the sad little tree, the monologue from Linus about what Christmas is all about and of course, Pigpen's endless dust clouds even when skating or exhaling while singing! Classic. . .
Any favorites you'd like to share? LOVE to hear about them!
Happy holidays!
