Having a great day so far. Christmas in my heart and loving every minute of it. Thinking of rough sketching some plans for an outside display. Haven't had a good outside Christmas display in years and I really want one. Also have youth group tonight, we are doing our yearly watching of the Bible series and watching the life of Jesus to get us in perspective of the time of year we are in.

This is not going to be good. I'm praying they are wrong.

Oh wow, hope you are as safe and sound as Christmas morning. Put on some Christmas tunes and think safe thoughts.

Thank you my Christmas friend.
So far this morning we've had one strong storm come thru without incident.

Thinking of this as a Pentecost ornament. My vision is to hang this from the laundry rod between the kitchen and hall. The doorway we use the most, with a Dove of Peace Christmas banner eventually to be surrounded by red garland. Now that Zoe has outgrown the pulling down of Christmas garland, I can start buying it again. Just enough decorations to put up in about 5 minutes and remind us that Christmas is just the beginning of the story. I saw on some website that someone had taken red, orange, and yellow tulle and draped it from the top of the doorway and securing on the sides........I am not that Christmas talented. Working on getting the banner and ornament this year and will pick up garland next christmas. It is so cheap in Texas, I just don't think about it.

That is a beautiful Christmas ornament.

The birth, life, death, and resurrection of the Christmas child is the greatest story ever told.

What a lovely ornament and decorating idea Jolly. A Christmas garland would be a perfect touch too. :D

You've got them Christmas friend. These storms moved through here last night and it's some scary stuff. Stay safe and keep us updated.

Our home has the first decorating lights up since Christmas. Just love these pastel Easter pastel light strings bringing light at night. :blinky1:

I'd a lot rather my yard be covered with fluffy Christmas snow than by the huge hail we got last night. I am so over this weather. :roll:

I bet your lights are lovely. And a refreshing change from the Christmas colors. :D
