Day 1237: An unrequested Christmas tour ...

'tis the season, photo & junk mail collage

I know no one asked for it, but ...

surely someone out there would like 

a quick tour of my minimal Christmas decorations?
It is the season after-all.

I need to preface that during the 

young WonderWoman years & 32 years of married life,

the holiday decor was in full tilt.

Big tree, lights, too many ornaments ... excess.

Later, I handed down all the good stuff to WW & family.

Now it's ...

my 12" tree ...
(you may not know it, but this really is me!)

my 4" Japanese Santa 
from high school best friend Karen, 50+ years ago,

my front door, bells & all, with a ...

Christmas cactus in full bloom at the front door.

My Grandmothers 4" high nativity, 100+ years old.

My 1" high wooden Christmas train 
a gift from Colin,  30 years ago.

 

An antique steel car ornament by artist Sherry Goodloe, 2014.

A 28" primitive painted canvas angel ...
that watches out over my studio year-round.

And I am just beginning to do cards & wrap gifts.

TMI?

The kicker is ...
I love my smaller take on the season.

What do you think?

Merry Christmas!
