An Old Fashioned Christmas

Forints Ağustos 09, 2022

When I was a kid our holiday celebration began on Christmas Eve and ended with New Years day. The 24th of December was when the visiting started.

It was pretty unheard of to have a tree set up more than a week before.

I guess I'm feeling old fashioned.... We just put our tree up today.

The ornaments are gathered at the base, with more lights and a banner to ground the tree since it's set up on a table. I chose not to rearrange furniture this year.

My antique Santo wears a dried vine crown and ivory necklace.

When a few gifts are wrapped they'll be placed at the base replacing the lights and ornaments.

I dressed up my antique garden urn with a few sea stars.

Also at the base of the tree is my 1984 facsimile edition of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, originally printed in Great Britain in 1929 by George G Harrap.
