My Christmas Treasures

"I like days
when feathers are snowing,
and all the caves
have petticoats showing,
and the air is cold,
and the wires are humming,
but you feel all warm...
with Christmas coming!"
               ~Aileen Fisher

   I can't believe how close Christmas is! I finally finished my shopping on monday - the latest I have ever been! The other night I was with my family and we were talking about Christmas memories and all of the things that we have loved over the years.-- I remembered sled rides at night when the air was so snowy and cold that my fingers in their gloves stung. Even with the cold it still felt magical - the horse pulling us all down the path through trees, the dark sky above, and the promise of hot chocolate when we reached our destination. I remembered the Christmas I asked for one very special doll and then spent the month of December counting down the days with desperate excitement - measuring presents to see if she might be there! I remembered Christmas breakfasts and suppers, trips to the Nativity pageant, parties and get togethers, carols sang at church, and so much more! Just talking about all of these wonderful memories made me so excited for this weekend! Every Christmas is different and some traditions change and evolve over the years, but that magic feeling never goes away. I still feel like a child at Christmas and the thing that I love the most remains the same - my family.
The pictures I have taken for you today are a little random - they are of all of my personal Christmas treasures that I have displayed in my room. The stocking near the end is my favorite - I added the lace, ribbons, and the rose (from Meadow Street). My Mum requested a drawing of a Pink Christmas Tree! I hope you like everything and have a Merry Merry Christmas!
