Christmas Delights 2013

Here is a little Christmas cheer that is going on around our house. 

Jason decorated Gingerbread house. I approved. =)

I spy a little village peeking in the mirror.

This year's Dickens Christmas Village setup. 

Jason made a starry night sky background that I am in love with. 

I love our tree, but I felt like something was missing. Something from my childhood.

Then it hit me. Tinsel! I love tinsel. 

Tinsel. Everywhere. 

I know I'm probably in the minority these days on the tinsel, but then I also love the big old fashioned colored lights on my tree, too. 

A sweet little Christmas handkerchief my sister included in her homemade Christmas card. 

I love poinsettias, and Jason found some at Lowe's last week for 0.62 cent a piece. 

There is nothing better than the smell of pumpkin pie. 

I don't even mind the cleanup. As long as Jason is doing the baking. =)

I hope everyone has a wonderful and peaceful Christmas this year. 

For those going through hard times, be it health, family, money; I pray for better times for you and yours. 

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a peaceful day.
And if you find you aren't, then get the heck out of where ever you are and go find some!

"God bless us, every one!"

On The Last Day Before Christmas....

We'll lie under the tree,
And wish that it could be,

Christmas all year long.

This year's Dickens Christmas Village set up. Two new additions on the bottom left. yay!

Please tell me someone other than me remembers the vintage Santas and other Christmas decorations like the one below. 

This one was found in my fiance's cousin's attic. 

I cooed over it so much that she gave it to me. 

On the 2nd Day Before Christmas....

We tried to take portraits of the dogs...

...but they weren't really in the spirit.

On the 3rd Day Before Christmas....

...we'll drink some spiked eggnog...

On the 5th Day Before Christmas....

I tied a pretty bow....
