Christmas decorations - 2023

My mom’s mom (Nana) gave us a Life Savers storybook every year. Very sad to hear that will be phased out by the manufacturer. Trying not to be overly nostalgic about it, but it’s hard seeing so many changes - little, big - during this time of year. This world could use a re-up on the Linus speech from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as a reminder of what the season is “really all about”.

Those who know what I’m talkin’ about, know.

 

Merry Christmas, FHC folks - from our family to yours!
(at Enchanted Christmas, in Milwaukee - the kids flew in from Houston)

 

It was my job this year; some lighting adjustments and repairs commenced after this was taken…

 

The interior is The Wife’s department. That’s “the Department of the Interior”, for those paying attention.
ps it’s quite warm in the room right now; letting the coals do the work for the time being!

pps no tree pics until after sundown, and no peeking y’all! ;-)

 

There she is.
Some reflections for added fun.

The tree gets taken down today

It was nice to enjoy it lit, with the fresh snowfall, even if for only a few hours
