Merry Christmas.........

A dimestore manger creche is one of our favorites with all the detail that they put into its creation.

This is an ornament that I bought at Michael's a few years back. It has detailing that only another country outside of the US could do.  All the hand gluing of beads and color decoration makes it a wonderful ornament.

Here is the other ornament that I bought at the same time.  The beads and colors do project a Russian feel or one of the Slavic nations.

I wish everyone to have a great day today.  Our plans are for breakfast out with my wife's brother and wife and then a restful afternoon.  A visit with our Chicago kids and grand kid will be happening in a couple of weeks.  Both sides would have liked to get together on the weekend but it will be better to get together later.  We made all of our deadlines and have things settling down with family obligations.  It is going to be a very restful day with supper being special for the two of us.  Mincemeat pie is going to finish off our meal today and snacks are all over the house.

Thanks for all the sharing we have done together this past year.  Our sharing of Christmas times is fun to do to see what different things are going on in this country. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas day.....Thanks for stopping by.
