We need a little Christmas…I spent today decorating my tree…I don’t have any personal ornaments on it this year.I just decided to go with a different look.It is gold and red…with pinecone shaped glass ornaments, red beads, jinglebells,

gold ribbons, icicles,

and red berries.

A large bow tops the tree, and a cardinal looks down on my living room.

This is my west wall with my fireplace that I love.

Our stockings are hung from the horseshoe air vent. I cross-stitched these a hundred years ago…

I also display my small collection of Crinkle Claus.

I love their detail.

When the overhead lights are out, the tiny glow holds the magic that is in the air.

Very magical for everyone! I have never seen the Crinkle Claus before – beautiful detail!
Lovely, and not over done.
Lovely tree. Like the way the bow/ribbon drapes down from the top.
Very festive.
