Joyous Advent Sunday...

Wishing all my family and friends a most Blessed Advent Sunday....

The 4th Sunday before Christmas..

And for my family and friends in Germany..

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas...

Look who's Peeking...

My sweet lil Hedge Hogs snuck out into the living room to see the decorations and the lights on the trees...

and meet Herman,, my newest lil Hedgie...

Gary made me a new Advent candle holder ring, so this coming Advent Sunday I will cut fresh branches to lay around it.

Frohliche Weihnachten... my dearest friend sent me this little candle votive holder several years ago,, and I do use it every year.... Merry Christmas....

Advent Sunday,

Yesterday was the 3rd Sunday in Advent... a soft snow covered landscape, and a quiet relaxing day. But it was a tad windy to keep my Advent candles lite, so I eventually brought them inside..

Just 10 days until the Eve of Christmas... To our family and friends whom we won't be able to visit with this year for Christmas and New Years Eve,, Stay Safe, Happy and very Blessed.

First Advent Sunday...November 29th, 2020

Happy Advent Sunday.. I forgot to post photos last Sunday,, so here are both last Sunday and this Sunday..

My Oma,, use to use fresh branches each week in her Advent wreath,, I recall her saying it was to be safe and prevent fires because of the dried branches... SO this year I decided to do the same,, but also to move my Advent wreath to different locations, not just limited to the dining room table.

Sunday December 6th Advent

It was a lovey day eariler,, so I took my Advent wearth outside... I am sure the Quail hiding in our Spruce trees were watching me,, and probabliy wondering why I hadn't put out more seeds for them. (I feed the Quail twice a day).... Today, I will turn on all the Christmas lights before dinner. It gets dark by 4:30pm... On Friday and Saturday, the lights go on after dinner. Have a Happy and Joy filled Sunday...

Let the Decorations Begin!

Well... I decided to start the decorating festivities a bit early... I usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving.. but since everything is different this year because of the Pandemic.. I thought why not be different too! I actually put up my white Christmas tree with all white and sparkly decorations... the next day,,, I took it down! pretty but just to plain! So instead I put up my red tree,,,with white trimings.. much better. I will post some photos,, but my camera is old and the quality of the photos are not so good..

Oh good stars! I just realized, I hadn't taken any photos on my camera,, I guess I will do so tomorrow and then post a photo of the tree..

love my small collection of Nut Crackers,, it's the German in me.

I only put up 3 of my mini trees,,, normally I have them all over the house..

I have also par'ed down my woodland scene...

I will try to get some better photos and when I do, I'll replace these.. but for now,, let the Christmas decorating festivities begin! HoHoHo!
