Over the decades most of us accumulate lots of Christmas decorations. When we moved out here we gave away all but what fit in these two bins.
This year I went through the bins in the storage room and brought up just one bag of decorations - keeping it simple.
A friend made Joe this wonderful stocking out of glass
The felt decorations Mom made for an Advent calendar are just the right size for our little Christmas tree.
The camel & owl were Mom's & Dad's symbols
blue & green - Seattle's colors
We have a number of Nativities. This year we put out the one painted by three of our grandchildren in 2006. Two wise men from Joe's childhood and an elephant from India join in the adoration.

It wouldn't be Christmas without our stockings. My grandmother, Mildred Floyd, knit mine probably about 1953. My siblings have matching stockings. When Joe and I married, Mom knit a stocking for Joe.
