Being so ill these past months I didn't feel up to my usual decorating but maintenance insisted so all of these pics are of things I did while sitting down...no tree this year... Santas Village for the children (including me)lol! Victorian Pitcher and Bowl for those of us who love that era Pine cone basket for some natural element and filled with silver apples the wreath to greet visitors the Creche for the reason for the season. Alex and I wish you the merriest of holidays with those you love and my favroite thing to wish you is that you look thru the eyes of a child to see the magic of the season, hope, love and peace reside there. If we could keep those things in our hearts all year long what a different world we would live in. Health update: finally saw the doctor, have a bunch of tests scheduled, on antibiotics for pneumonia, finally got my meds in the right doses and with any luck at all I should be feeling much better very soon. Again, many thanks to those who sent well wishes! Thanks for looking and for previous comments, I am thankful for you all!
