Christmas Past!

My sincerest thanks to all my dear friends and relatives who prayed for my sweet daughter Kim. She did very well with the surgery. We are so pleased that they didn't find anything they didn't already know…a congenital condition that contributed to the loss of the first kidney. No "C" word or disease of the kidney, for that we are so thankful.
A stent is offering relief now and a reevaluation in a month will determine a more permanent solution. So glad this phase is over and she has relief. Please continue to remember her in your prayers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We will be decorating for Christmas the first week of December so I want to share some scenes from Christmas past. Some of you may have seen these pics and some were before bogging and the pictures are not so great. I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to our home
we're so glad to have you visit!

Remember, don't peek, keep your tinsel straight and dream of sugar plums…

SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN!

I truly hope you enjoyed reminiscing about Christmas Past!

I will be back soon with this year's decor.

This year will be our sweet A. J.'s first Christmas!

That time is approaching!!

I may be forced to go in there!

I'm not sure if this pic is blurred or 

if it's just the time of night.

Do you have a fear of going "THERE"?

You know, the place 

where you store the Christmas Decorations.

Do you have this phobia?

Our guests don't wear clothes. No place to hang them.

This is a walk-in closet in one of the guest rooms. Everything, in the boxes you see, goes on the Christmas tree in the living room. Scary isn't it?

I didn't take a pic of the other side. The outside wreaths are there.

Every box you see, here, holds Christmas Decor for the kitchen. There's more on the floor. It was messy. See that little elf door to the right? Well, there's more in there. That's Granny's attic. 

Oooooooooh!

I got so panicked I decided to rest a bit.

You see, Kim and I have been working on our 

ETSY SHOP 

and I have been overwhelmed.

~~~~~~

So, I decided to reminisce 

ABOUT CHRISTMASES PAST!

One must first think about the 

"Reason for the Season".

I give thanks for the precious gift of eternal life. 

I think our Lord smiles at some of our frivolity.

At least I hope so!

I begin to remember.

The Kitchen Tree

 View of Mrs. Claus and a back side view of my vintage collection of Norman Rockwell ornaments.

These pictures were made from 2006 through 2010.

I wasn't expecting to place them on public view.

 OOPS! Lord I may be stretching it.

One of my favorite little fellows. Thrifted for $5.00.

In this picture, he is skating on the dining table.

This was also pre-blog days.

If you notice the cresent moon mirror over that door, it's just my sick humor.
That's the powder room! 

I know! I gotta go back up the stairs to those CLOSETS!  Just not yet!

Wish I could figure out how to get a pic without the fan. Any suggestions?
Those candles are not leaning. It has something to do with the camera angle. I will use the deer, purchased from Z Gallerie several years age, again this year. They will just show up somewhere else. 

Notice the glass cylinders. They are now on my

 Autumn Sideboard.

One more Peek before I turn out the light BECAUSE

not tonight, I have a headache!

Before we get too caught up in the season,

Let me wish each of my fabulous Blogger Friends

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It's been a great year.
