There is groaning every year when we open the attic to bring down the Christmas decorations.
Much groaning.
Mostly by my husband.
But--
when the boxes are emptied and the decorations are up, we are so glad we took the time to decorate.
Most of our decorations are handmade.
Some by me, some by the kids, some by family, some by blogging friends.
And each of those decorations makes me smile.
And our tree…
Most of all, I love the way these crazy, eclectic, handmade decorations remind me to slow down
to remember the stories
the friends
the loved ones
and their love and Christ’s Love for me.

I love the part of being reminded of someone with something special! I used my snowman apron yesterday & have my tree napkins out ;-) Those are very special items to me bc they were made by you!
