I feel kinda like the abominable snowman shown above after dragging my dead Christmas tree out of the house today. Not to sound like a total downer but it felt like such a wierd Christmas to me. I never quite got the feeling like it was a holiday. Now the dreaded task of putting all the decorations away. I usually have that done by now but I have been in slow motion.
My daughters drew the drawing of the snowman on our chalk board wall, just love him I think he will have to stay around for a while longer!!
I took these photos yesterday morning before I started pulling everything off of the very dry dead tree.

My husband actually made the egg ornament above with the wise men when he was just a boy. I love handmade ornaments they are always my favoite!
The gingerbread man was made by one of my girls in preschool.

I bought the vintage angel topper at an antique shop in SFO twenty years ago. She reminded me of the topper my Mother had used on our tree while growing up.


I still use my paper ladies that I made in Lesley Riley's class years ago.They are photos of my Mother and my Grandmother as little girls.
