This is our first Christmas ornament. We received it at a wedding shower fifty years ago.
It’s 7am here in northeast Washington state and it is still dark outside. We are still in Twilight and soon the day will dawn.
The angels, Santa, and Mrs. Claus ended up in our Christmas stash from Greg’s folks. The ones below are also from them.
These ornaments are from some recent travels.
These two add so much joy to our merry and bright Christmas days!

These are old, too, but not handed down. They were purchased from a thrift store.
All the ornaments and all the bits and bobs did not make it out this year and that is fine.
We completed our Christmas letter on Friday and made copies. For whatever reason this was a harder task this year. I’m writing this post on Saturday morning and hopefully I did get all the cards addressed and ready to go to the post office today.
UPDATE: Our cards were all addressed and stuffed and sealed on Saturday. On Sunday on the way home from our church service we stopped at the post office and sent all the cards down the slot! Hooray!
Hope all is merry and bright in your corner.

We didn’t put all the ornaments out this year either. I normally have more trees out, but we tried to keep it semi-simple since we’re not hosting this year. I am sitting beside the tree this morning in the quiet dark and that’s my favorite this time of year. Have a nice week!
Beautiful decorations, it all looks so pretty and festive.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week ahead.
…you sure have been busy decorating. Now sit back and enjoy the results.
Beautiful and merry indeed! 🎄
Your photos are beautiful, sweet, and speak loudly of precious memories. Those make for the most meaningful Christmas. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas! Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog. It is very nice to meet you 🙂
Your tree is beautiful and I loved the ornaments you shared. I have a few from Europe that I bought when I was there years ago. How nice to do a Christmas letter. Hooray for getting your cards done and mailed.
I was able to send out my cards and I got all of the out of town packages mailed. The house is decorated way less than normal but it looks nice. The tree is up but no ornaments are on it. Not sure I can do that with my injuries. However, I am trying and doing the best I can.
You take care and God Bless.
Everything is so pretty and looks like you’re all ready for Christmas.
I can tell your home is decorated with everything you love, and the vintage pieces are filled with memories and stories of Christmas past – just delight!
I loved seeing all your vintage decorations. The stories they could tell :). Well done on the cards. Always a good feeling once they are posted. B x
Oh wow, I love the ornaments! These are the real memories ❤️✨
