Joe and I have finished our Christmas decorating. We made do with what we had on hand for our outside decorations, with the exception of purchasing the poinsettias. We are using the scatter light again this year because neither one of us has any business getting on a ladder to string lights along the gutters. It looks nice when darkness falls.
Inside, we still have our skinny pencil tree that fits fine in one corner of our living room....
For the first time in many years, I got my collectible Nativity set out. I've been afraid that the cats would break it but this year I have the knick-knack shelf where I believe it is safe!
I also have a pretty Madonna and Child that I purchased in the Museum Store years ago.
And here are a few more of my decorations....
Vinny has been sleeping behind the tree and was not happy I found him!
Tuesday I was at the farm and got to pet the horses.
And there was this sky.....
May God bless us all with a safe, healthy, happy and very festive December!!
With hope in our hearts, we begin the Advent season this weekend, counting the days until the birth of our Savior!
- The 1st Sunday of Advent symbolizes Hope with the “Prophet’s Candle” reminding us that Jesus is coming.
- The 2nd Sunday of Advent symbolizes Faith with the “Bethlehem Candle” reminding us of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem.
- The 3rd Sunday of Advent symbolizes Joy with the “Shepherd’s Candle” reminding us of the Joy the world experienced at the coming birth of Jesus.
- The 4th Sunday of Advent symbolizes Peace with the “Angel’s Candle” reminding us of the message of the angels: “Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.”
