A Few of My Favorite Things (Christmas Edition)

I love my house in Tropic at Christmas time! It's so cozy and christmassy! :) There are a few decorations that go up every year...

The Caroling Family on our piano...

The Christmas Bear Collection that started I think in 1983 with a new bear every year...

Our Count Down to Christmas Eve Calendar (with a cute little mouse you put in the pockets)...

Our Santa display above the rock fireplace my Grandpa LeFevre built, and the mom-made stockings, and of course the cozy fire to warm up next to...



Our Christmas Nativity Advent Calendar Uncle Lyle's family gave to us years ago (we had to take turns putting the little nativity figures up each day cause we all wanted to)...


My mom's Christmas Village, such a fun tradition...


And of course my most favorite decoration in the house, our Avon Nativity Scene. It's the most beautiful nativity I've seen and every year we'd help unpack the figures from their boxes and hand them to mom to place above the tv, They are ceramic so we'd have to be super careful not to drop them. I'm so glad that my mom helped us treat the nativity with such care, I don't know if she meant it to or not, but it gave me a deeper understanding of what we should be focusing on at Christmas time.


I was able to get a few days off for the Christmas break and I'm so glad! I might be a working 'grown up' now but I'm not ready to give up feeling like a little kid in my house at Christmas quite yet :)
