Thursday

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Nativity Collection


I will share a few of my Nativities and ways I display them.

I didn't get finished with sharing all my Christmas decorations. I leave Thursday to spend Christmas with my new grandson, Caden!

When I return I will continue sharing my Christmas decor. Including the tea cup tree, teddybear tree and my Christmas tea pots. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!

This is my favorite way that this Nativity is displayed. I do something different with it every year.

Beautiful!


I bought this unusual Nativity at Walmart last year, it is a favorite too!

Mother and Child



I also like statues of Mary and Baby Jesus. The top photo is a Fontani figurine.

Nativity Christmas Card


I sent these Christmas cards several years ago. I liked it so much I framed it and display it every year.

My husband bought me this Fontani Nativity in Italy, it's my favorite one!

Victorian Angel


I added this little Victorian angel to my collection this year. I think I found her at Ross or TJ Maxx.

Santa in White


I like this Santa all dressed in white and carrying a teddybear. He is about 5 inches tall and made of glass.

New Elf


Bought this cute little elf last week, I don't think he made it in the pictures of the Santa tree or whimsical tree. He's on the Santa tree!

Santa Claus in Yellow


Most of you know yellow is my favorite color. When I find a Santa Claus dressed in yellow, I must buy him! It's not often that I find yellow Santas. This big beautiful Santa all dressed in yellow velvet, even yellow boots, tugged at my heart! I found him last year at TJ Maxx and knew he had to come home with me! He is holding a gold glass ornament on a string, a book, a present, a horn and a scroll of music. He also has a Christmas tree slung across his back.

I display him on the bed tray in the guest room.

Father Christmas


This Father Christmas Santa ornament is dressed in yellow, so he was added to my collection! He is about six inches tall.

Yellow Santas



Yellow Santas on the dresser in the (yellow) guest room of our house. Some of the little Santas are on springs and are moveable. The little Santa front, right is white trimmed in yellow, and he is holding a year "2000" sign.

Yellow Santa painted on a sled. I bought it at a craft show a few years ago.

Victorian Doll


Victorian doll head is so pretty on the tree. You can find these at Michael's and they are on sale!

Victorian Santa



Victorian Santa is wearing pale yellow with lots of roses and lace. He is on the Victorian tree. I think he is so beautiful!

Little Girl Ornament


I bought this little Victorian girl ornament at Michael's this year. I always buy everything on sale! I like her because she is holding a teddy, and because her legs move!

That's a Nutcracker puppet ornament looking at her!

Santa's Gingerbread


I wanted this Chef Santa because he goes well with the gingerbread theme I have in the breakfast nook in our house. I bought him at Hobby Lobby a few months ago.

TV Armoire Decor


The top of the TV armoire in our family room is decorated like this every year, I like it so much I don't change it very much. This year I added the horn.

The little folk art Nativity on top of the TV is one of my favorites!

Tuesday

Mistletoe Tea Room


My kitchen has a tea room theme year round, I use this tea room and Victorian couple at Christmastime in our kitchen and breakfast nook.

Gingerbread Dolls


I like these stuffed Gingerbread dolls and bought them in honor of our two new grandchildren, Caden and Elisabeth! I had planned to display them on a child's wicker table and chairs that I have, but it is high up on a shelf and since Joe was gone skiing all last week he couldn't get the table and chairs down for me (it requires a ladder and a tall person!) I also bought a little gingerbread tea set to use. Oh well, I'll just have to do that next year! My time is running out and I am leaving soon to go to my daughter's for Christmas.

For now the gingerbread dolls sit in the chairs at the table in the breakfast nook. I named them "Ginger" and "Fred!"

Gingerbread House


This Gingerbread House was perfect to go with my Gingerbread theme in the breakfast nook. I found it last week at Dollar General.

Gingerbread People



Gingerbread people in the breakfast nook.

Gingerbread Theme Chandelier
