“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

Christmas cards are a tradition that I enjoy and cherish. Hope it doesn’t completely die out!
pine
Pine bough garland around our front door of our former home.
Currently at our home we are surrounded by evergreens but they are more of the fir variety and not pine.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world as you anticipate Christmas and all that it means to humanity.
We’ve had this little tin for years and the scenes go well with the Bible verses from Luke.
~
“And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.’
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
(Luke 2:8–14, ESV)
This last scene comes later in the Christmas events before Joseph, Mary and Jesus flee to Egypt to escape King Herod’s evil plans. The Wise men and Joseph are warned by God about Herod.
My little tin also has a scene with a Little Drummer Boy which comes from a popular Christmas song but isn’t in the Bible.

All of the Christmas decor at your home are lovely, Ellen. I especially like the tin with the four different scenes depicting the Nativity. Hope you are enjoying this week before Christmas!
…Ellen, you put me to shame, I hope to decorate our tree today!
Your looking very festive and I love the little tin 🙂 B x
I love all your decorations! Especially the tea tin.
Merry Christmas week to you!
Enjoyed these pictures so much! Thank you for sharing!
I love your nativity scene!
I love all your Christmas decorations, very pretty.
Take care, have a wonderful day!
Everything looks beautiful. Your collections are so pretty. Thank you for sharing them.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Your home looks ready for Christmas celebrating with dear family! Love the matryoshka dolls – are they generations old?
Mary, sorry it took me so long to answer your question. My Matryoshka dolls are from my generation. Some of them were brought back from Russia in the 90’s when my parents did some missionary work there.
I knew they carried a special story. Do you collect them?
Mary, I don’t actively collect them. I’m happy with the few I have. Our children have a few unique ones that my parents brought for them from Russia, too.
A beautifully composed blog post with wonderful descriptions of why we are celebrating Christmas.
These are wonderful! I love your secretary, a beautiful piece. Love all the decorative features and also how you have displayed your cards. It’s very special to see them coming into the letterbox this time of the year, a tradition that I also hope doesn’t disappear. I enjoyed the British ornaments. I have a few of those, not the same but very similar.
I enjoyed seeing your December images and some glimpses of your Christmas home! The little tin is sweet and really tells a story!
Your ornament collection is lovely! I so enjoy giving and receiving Christmas cards and I hope that is one tradition that doesn’t die out either.
