Warm wishes for a Joyful Christmas from my home to yours. Here are a few images of our Christmas this year. Don’t you love our scraggly little tree? I’m not actually sure how that made it home with us, but here it is!

David made this beautiful cherry shelf for spices for our kitchen. What a gift!

I hope your Christmas is filled with peace, love, warmth, light, and good cheer. And joy to the world!

    I love your tree! It looks like you live in an older house…. and the tree fits. The more “real” a tree looks the better, in my book.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Your little tree is lovely. I especially like your manger. So peaceful.

    Your spice rack is perfect. A gift from the heart and hand.

    Your home is lovely and warm in its simplicity. We’ve had trees like that one, some worse – I always dub those kind “Charlie Brown Trees”. We always opt for the real trees and they are all perfect to me, no matter how they look!
