I started writing this post at lunch and it is now 7.30pm!!! I don’t honestly know where the days and weeks are flying to!
Of course that started me looking at the Christmas pictures! I don’t know if I showed these to you last year but our National Newspaper “The Telegraph” had done an article about The Savoy in London decorating for Christmas and asked Readers to send pictures of their decorations. I did and these are the ones who appeared and mine was at the head of the article!
This little Santa Claus was in fact my Mother’s and I think is it made of ceulloid. He is very delicate and I think it is coming up to being 100 years old. I carefully wrap him each year when we take the decorations down in acid free tissue paper and hope he is okay the following year.
I am starting to feel very Christmasy! If this year is anything to go by It is not too early to start spreading some Christmas cheer!!!
Happy Monday you lovely lot and I hope you have a good week.
Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco
How cool to have your pictures make the front of the paper!!! Old ornaments are to be treasured. My tree used to have unique, handmade ornaments, only one of which was a ball. Miss my old trees and the fun of having littles all excited for Christmas. While you have littles close, the just make the holiday more fun. Less than 2 months to go!! We still have to get through Halloween and Thanksgiving. Since I can’t drive to shop or mail gifts, I’ll just be sending a check to each family and they can get what they need/want.
The older ornaments and handmade ornaments are the best and hold so many memories! I have Christmas gifts bought but no decorations are up yet. That will happen next month closer to Thanksgiving.
