NOSTALGIA AND TRADITIONS

 Nostalgia and Traditions

I was reading Debby's post on My Shasta Home about all the things that bring memories up during this Christmas time of year.

I know I have posted these before but Tis The Season ... 

Here's one of my favorites way back in 2007.

Santa visiting at our Family Christmas and one of the cousins talking to him.


Our tree is finally up and decorated.
I keep it lit all day so I can enjoy it while working in my "Office".


These Trees are always a Must every year.
My Mother in Law made them for us 60 years ago.
I love them and appreciate all the hard work .


Our Nativity set brought back from Kenya in 2009 always is placed in a spot of honor.



This nativity set was bought the first year we were married.
Now its 61 years old, almost 62.
I love seeing it every year.



Made by our daughter in law Sigrid back in 1989.


Made by our daughter in law Kellie in 2008.



Of course our Santa has to have a place of honor too.
He's about 55 years old.


There are many more goodies which never made it out of the boxes and tubs this year.  They are still sweet memories in my heart.

Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

I just came from Debby's post. I love what you shared. I haven't gotten any Christmas out yet. The tree is up but I have to decorate it and don't have the energy yet. Your nativities are beautiful along with your tree and other decorations.

Your tree is gorgeous - absolutely perfect. I enjoy keeping our lights on during the day, as well - adds to the season ambiance. Your ornaments are very special. I'm glad you shared them with us.

your big tree is magnificent and I would have it on all day too. I usually leave the nook on at Christmas all day, but its sad looking. the little tree is sitting there with no ornaments for about 3 days and I just can't make myself decorate. also the sun is so bright you can't see the lights during the day.. I like all your precious memories here and wow, Santa came to your home?
