Christmas.....


I adore Christmas.....I love it for so many reasons...
Memories....Happy childhood memories..I was very very lucky to have wonderful parents and the most wonderful sister..we had so much fun as children..days long dolly games....playing outside for hours ..building forts and tree houses...we had NO money ...but it did not matter...
wonderful wonderful family and the most wonderful of friends....and now we have young people and babies in our life....Joy.....
these are things I never take for granted...never ever..
and when the world goes crazy these things are more important than anything...
love your family...... love your friends...do what you love when you can and try to never waste a moment on the things that do not matter...... 
love ...be happy....Joy......

 Rusty...
 the sweetest boy ever......
 Christmas.......I love old fashioned decorating....old ornaments...the big old colored lightsllll
 Mr. snowman was on our tree when we were little girls.....it takes me right back..

  ....these twirly ornaments are just about my favorite....this one was on our tree too
                                                                Mr. Santa....from the 50's
                               
                                This glass bell garland was on my mum's tree when she was little!!!


                                                 

                                                      I've been collecting ornaments for years......


                               This little cluster of red was on my dad's tree when he was little
 Mr. Santa was a gift from a friend of my mum and dad's ...he was in her doll house when she was little...  I believe he is about 1905 1910..
