merry christmas, everyone!! i have finally gotten off my blog-butt & updated from thanksgiving...(with the help of some friendly reminders from a couple of you out there in blog world!! :) this has to be my absolute FAVORITE time of year to bring out all of my christmas treasures. i love to collect them here & there all year long, & then pull them out at christmas & be surprised! here are some pictures of my favorite things to collect for christmas... but most importantly, i wish you all a very blessed christmas full of peace & joy from the real meaning of the season, our precious saviour, Jesus Christ. 
my cupboard with my santa mug collection....& my favorite santa below...
this is a little beautiful glittery village given to me by my mother-in-law...i just love it! i want to live there.
nothing like my kids' art displayed at christmas. here below is the pottery nativity that bo made us last year, with mary & joseph, baby jesus, & a black & white sheep. i put them with our other nativity...so sweet! & below that, is a painting bailee did for christmas. i love this stuff!!!
this is my favorite christmas tin...i got it years ago on ebay. i love the color & that it's square. i don't find too many tins that are square--especially christmas ones.
this is my favorite newest addition to my christmas stuff this year: a sign given to me by traci. i just LOVE it!!! it looks so nice with my tin lids hanging on my wall!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
