We had a very quiet Christmas day which was lovely.
Our friend Brenda came to stay and we watched the TV programs we wanted to.
I slept through the queens speech and one or two other programmes as well.
This is the real meaning of Christmas.
Roland made the stable when we first got married
and the little figures were from well before I met him.
I did think of replacing them at one time
but they have become a family heirloom
The tree decorations have also become heirlooms
The little bell was made by Jen when she was at Nursery
The bird was mum and dads
The glass house and bauble were made by Claire when she was small with her nana
The white bauble and the multi-coloured bauble were Rolands
The stocking was knitted on the knitting machine when I had one.
The butterfly was given to me by Shaun and Fiona.
So every year lots of fond memories come out of the decoration box.
Your Christmas decorations are very beautiful, Viv, xxx
ReplyDeleteWe have similar decorations, some from my childhood, some the girls have made and some we have bought. Don't replace the nativity. xx
ReplyDeleteWe had all these old tree decorations but then one year decided they were too old and got rid of them all!!! Love the nativity xx
ReplyDeleteHope to speak to you this week. Thank you for your phone call last Mon x and thank you for blogging your Christmas this week for me xxx
I love old decorations which have memories..I buy new ones to mark special years too..x
ReplyDeleteI don't consider my decorations as ornaments, but 'memories'. That is about all I put on the tree anymore besides some lights. Keep your original nativity as those mean the most and are not replaceable. Have a happy new year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWith best wishes for health, much joy, love and good luck!
