Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's the Saturday before Christmas and I think I have almost everything ready except for some cooking that I will do on Monday morning. Hubby has gone shopping, I think he is crazy to go out today in the mobs of last minute shoppers but he doesn't seem to mind the crowds.

I took some pictures here in the house today to share with you. I have gone around to see some of your decorations and they have been beautiful.

This is a wall hanging that I made a few years ago. I love anything to do with mittens so this was a perfect pattern for me. The next one is the nativity that I made for the day care we used to have at church. When they closed they gave it back to me so I have been enjoying it.

The three stockings hanging on the mantle are for T, D and cousin K. I should have lit the fire in the fireplace for a little more ambiance! :o) I put one tree here in the living room and one out in the sun room. This guy greets us from the clock.

The next picture is the dining room table that I like to set ahead of time so that I can enjoy my Christmas dishes longer. The carolers I have been collecting for a long time. The cats don't like them in that window as they can't get up there and watch the birds! :o(

This nativity I have had for quite a while too.

This Santa was given to Son by his grandmother about 30 years ago. She passed away about 15 years ago but this is a nice reminder at Christmastime of all the things she used to do during the holidays. She loved the holidays and took great pains to see that everything was just so, right down to the beautiful bows she made for each package.

These two guys greet you as you come in the front door.

My friend Ann and I went to the stable this morning to see the guys. It was about 4* when I first got up but it warmed up a bit while we were there. The horses are so shaggy now, not sleek and shiny like in the summer time but they are nice and warm.

On the way home as I was going by FIL's house next door as a big flock of turkeys walked by. I stopped and took some pictures and then they started flying towards the woods.

Well Hubby wants a pumpkin pie so I guess I'd better finish this up and head for the kitchen. I probably won't write again until after the holidays so I want to wish all of my blogging buddies a wonderful Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour!
