Here is my retro Christmas tree in my dining area~ Rudolph and old world Santas...just fun old timey stuff! Hobby Lobby and stores in Lancaster were a huge help in adding to my retro collection of ornaments.
My foyer always houses my gingerbread tree and most of my gingerbread decor but I have to admit it has now spilled into the kitchen and dining area! I try to add every year. This year I just added some more ornaments but I will be receiving more for gifts.
My decorated breakfront has Christmas Mice! I collect them as well in all shapes and sizes!
And last but not least is my red truck tree! I love red trucks! I've collected so many ornaments and I even made some of my own.
Thanksgiving seems like it was just here! We had a wonderful quiet day. I'm trying to savor the days until Christmas comes. I want to make the most of it. I've been baking and cleaning, decorating and also making sure I make time to read my Christmas Amish fiction books and even work on several Christmas puzzle books a wonderful friend sent me in the mail!
My daughter has been an amazing help in the kitchen. She bakes too. She has her own special cookie recipes that have been her signature cookies! I'm so proud!
Hopefully I will find time to post again near Christmas. I'm going to try! Looking forward to so many things and trying not to le the anniversary of my Mom's passing take me down too low. I have a new great niece being born next week and my great nephew Patrci, whom I ADORE, is soon to be !. Lots to look forward to. PLUS a very close family member just moved to my town! I'm so grateful for the people in my life.
What a fun idea to create a truck tree. Gingerbreads were a hot item in our gift shop this year...so much so that I will have to purchase lots more next year...which is a good thing. Your home looks so festive. Love all of the reds and greens! Janice
