I felt a bit overburdened with the thought of decorations this year...but, finally dragged out the box, and found our lovely wreath which we bought 25 years ago in Libertys. It's a bit battered now and has lost some bits, but it is part of Christmas.
Then, fired by the creative feeling, I found Grandma' silver dish, and filled it with easy bits and pieces and grouped it with the candles. The patchwork has to come out for Christmas.
By now, the urge to decorate had taken a firm hold, so I went off into the garden to find leaves, hung them with baubles and surrounded them with my Angels.
I drew the line at the effort of getting a tree.....but in came my son and his wife, bearing both little tree and decorations.
'Mum, you can't have Christmas without a tree!'
So here it is.
Aren't I blessed with thoughtful family?

Blessed indeed! and what lovely decorations you have there!
Oh yes you are. 🙂 so glad that you decided to deck your house with Christmas cheer. I know that it brings a smile to my face when I see the effort I made, to make the cottage festive :)
how lovely that your family have brought you some festive spirit!
Sweet family. I laughed at the progression of your decorating. Just a little soon becomes quite a lot - and it all looks festive!
How pretty your house looks! A gorgeous little tree, too!
Your house is beautiful, all adorned for Christmas. I'm glad you finally found time to make it all festive.
How wonderful to see you back here, I feel like I've received an extra Christmas gift. Your home looks lovely, somehow decorating helps to get the heart ready for the season. May God bless you richly.
Small Moments...wonderful!
I was looking for your blog and couldn't find it...welcome back...great new name.
Lovely christmas decorating...looking forward to reading about your small moments.
I could do without a tree but grandchildren seem to feel differently about that -- I prefer decorations that I place around the area and sort of spread it around -- each year I say I am going to decorate less and before Christmas day it is all back out in it's usual place! I love your little tree -- perfect size I would say!
It's all so beautiful! And such sweet children to bring you a lovely tree. We didn't have an official tree this year but wrapped some lights around our palm tree. I just couldn't bring myself to put one up when we weren't even going to be here. :)
