to one and all…
I think I am an olllldddd soul at heart. I love the traditions of Christmas! I love the traditional music, old movies, baking and decorating and mostly I love to visit other people’s homes at Christmas to check out their decorations. This year we are hunkering down and going nowhere so I indulged and went a tad overboard! I thought I would share a few of our decorations – these are just some the living room decorations! Bathrooms, basement, porches and kitchen are also decorated. The decorations may have to stay up longer this year as I am hoping that with a month long lockdown numbers will decline enough that my mom and sister will be able to leave their residences and come for a visit. My sister Diana loves Christmas and decorations and lights! Fingers crossed she will be able to enjoy all of ours in a few weeks. In the meantime, they make me smile and be at peace during a Christmas season like no other. Anddddd, my cats love to grab the miniature ornies on the feather tree and bat them around the living room – every morning I search for the overnight disappearances! Another tradition… May you all have a safe and peaceful Christmas – next year’s will be so much better…

Loretta!! I remember us chatting last Christmas or the one before about both of our old German Christmas decorations! Love all you shared here!! Makes me wish I had had more spirit, I have an adorable Farm set with little houses, church, a Nola s, tiny people and animals, I wish I had set up on the old fashioned angel hair!!
Have a beautiful Christmas and holiday season!

Your house looks really festive! Keeping fingers crossed that you can have visitors in another month! Truly 2021 has to be a better year!
Thank you for sharing these happy and unique Christmas decorations. To mention a few items that lifted my spirit, i must say the cow pulling the sled gave me a big laugh, and I am intrigued by the cat that appears to be paper mache or…..? Merry Christmas!
I like your all natural wooden pieces. Lovely merry christmas.
Hi Loretta, These are just lovely. Let’s hope you can get together with your mom and sisters later in January. Have a very merry Christmas and a less eventful, dare I say it more boring and ordinary 2021. Hugs to you both. Julie & Tom

I am a wood carver as well as a hooker, and I recognize many friends at your house!
Everything is beautiful!
Is that an old crank of some kind with the carved Santa? That is so very cool.
Merry Christmas 😉
So nice! Have a happy Xmas! 🌲🤶🎅🐈
I would like to know what is the object in picture #3? Is it a tool of some sort? And the little sculptor, does it move?
