My 2009 Christmas Corner

Here is my Christmas Corner!  I didn't get the big tree out this year, it was just too much to do; this tree looks a lot better when the lights are off and I am laying on the couch looking at it:)  I KNOW next year we will break out the big tree! Please ignore the pink walls, they are not in the Christmas spirit!  Also, ignore my dying plant, I did water it after taking the picture and it perked right back up!  It is the plant from my Grandfather's funeral and always has a special place in my home, thankfully it is very resilient to my neglect.  Notice the stockings hung from the built-ins LOL, our 50" tv is covering the mantel so that was the next best place to hang them from.  Looking at the picture I think I should have taken a little more time filling the shelves with items...but I was still getting over my cold and this was the best I could do and now with Christmas about a week away I have no motivation to put out more stuff.

Here is the ornament I bought from the Greensboro Christmas Show this year! Year 2009 with Baby A and Baby B on the way!

I love this angel and thought the candles look good next to it, this is on the built-ins in the living room.  Angels always remind me of my Grandmother and make me smile.

Lastly, the reason for the season.   Little baby Jesus!  I love my white nativity scene set.  Not everyone made it out of the box because they were too big to fix where I wanted them to. I feel bad for the camel and the other shepherds that are still in the box.  Next  year, hopefully, we will be more settled and they can come out and celebrate with everyone. LOL my flash looks like a glowing moon in a pink sky!~ 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
