Hi Friends
I'm pleased to say that All of my packages
Are wrapped and put away for the Big Day
My supplies have been stowed away for another year
And the table is beginning to take shape
For the rest of this Special Week
I don't happen to be a big table scape person
But I do have Christmas dishes and napkins
I'll be adding a few other pieces
In preparation for our big Christmas breakfast
I'm loving my centerpiece
Using the pine cones I got from my MIL's home
I just added a bit of greenery and a few
Brightly colored mini balls
I had to take a few photos of this set
Because I couldn't get a good full view
This nativity belonged to my Grandmother
It is probably 70-80 years old
Definitely a treasured set
I also got out the set that the littles can play with
It's so important for them to understand
The True story of Christmas
And hear it all the time from a very young age
I believe they learn and retain more
When they can touch, feel and play with the
Members from a story
Just a couple of little items under the tree
And another sweet photo of Baby DJ
For some reason
They wouldn't let me keep him :)
Happy December 21st
Many Blessings to you All
My mother has the same nativity set! She inherited it from family and she is now 81 years old!
ReplyDeleteCindy, your centerpiece is beautiful and what a treasure to have the nativity scene. Well, I would simply put my foot down and say I'm going to keep little DJ. I would never want to give him up. What a bundle of JOY..haha..Happy Christmas to you and your family..Judy

Hi Cindy, oh look at you and the sweet little one. Such a precious pic.
ReplyDeleteLove this post and all your preparations looks so festive and beautiful.
I love your vintage nativity and my mother and dad had the very same set from their first Christmas in 1945 when they married. Dad made a manger for the set and when I was growing in the 60's it was always displayed. When my son bought his home in 2003, I gave the set to him passed down from my parents. He displays it each year on his mantel and my heart just sings to see him take such pride in the old and cherished treasure from so long ago.
What a blessing.
Thank you for sharing. I am so glad to have met you this year and look forward to many more fun visits.
Merry Christmas to you and your dear family.
Hugs
Cindy, I love your centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you and Baby DJ :)
