Last Friday night, Joe and I went to Cracker Barrel to eat dinner and as usual had to browse in the gift shop. We found this lovely nativity scene for 40% off so we bought it. We brought it home and covered a board with burlap so the figurines would set on the hearth without falling over on the uneven brick. Then it made us want to decorate the rest of the house. We're just beginning.....
Here's the outside, partially done.
A closeup of the things we like to do best at Christmas, ski, skate, wish for snow, sled and go the Nutcracker (but only if they have a live orchestra!).
I visited Kohl's and got some cute placemats for the table.
Along with a new runner for the Hoosier cabinet and a new pillow for the chair.
I replaced the mums in the planter on the hearth and put in poinsettias. Along with another nutcracker. For those of you who have seen the infamous "The Nutcracker - Jondahl Style" video, you know why we cherish nutcrackers.
And Joe got the tree down from the attic and it's still sitting in the living room floor. Just waiting for someone to put it up. Of course there are about 15 more Christmas boxes up in the attic just waiting for someone to go up there and bring them down so we can finish decorating. Maybe this weekend....

Like your decorations. Hope your tree has been put up and out of the box. We have to do it in shifts. Last week we put the tree and inside decorations up. Today we (make that I) will probably put up outside decorations. :-)
Love, Merry
