I, to...I so enjoyed the Holiday Tour of your home! I, too, decorated in a flash when I was working outside of the home....at that time I also owned but a fraction of the Christmas decorations I have managed to accumulate over 41 years of marriage. I am like you in many ways...the decorations I use have history. My home doesn't look like a department store...all spruced up with glitzy stuff. It's filled with vintage items, gifts from family and friends and lots of handmades.<br /><br />Now, the remark about your Christmas Cat being the BEST kind! WHOA! That's where we are certainly not the same! I won't tell my two fur babies you said that...cuz up until then, they have also enjoyed reading your posts! ;)<br /><br />I loved your last paragraph...<br /><br />"Isn't it just amazing that the Creator of the Universe (oh yes, I do teach science and STILL believe that the order and plan of our galaxy had a Master Designer's hand at work in making it) not only LOVES us, but came to this Earth to be ONE of us and to make a way for us to become ONE with Him. Amazing and humbling."<br /><br />That was a particularly important statement for me. My daughter, who has just recently started going back to church and who is also finishing her RN (all wrapped up in the world of medicine and science) shared the conflicts she is feeling about creation as written in the bible and as taught in school. I bumbled my way through my thoughts and beliefs (which are in agreement with yours)...I will share your statement with her. I know it will mean a lot to her...as you're also all "sciency" and such!<br /><br />DANA<br /><br />PS You said the right thing to your upset daughter. It's so hard to start those new traditions...I had to "relearn" that lesson with my DIL a few years ago. It was a very hard lesson on both of us, but we grew from the rough time and we are now very close. I just learned I needed to not BLURT my feelings. Dang, that's hard for a blabber mouth like myself!danahttp://thestonerabbit.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-2567191603963075062009-12-18T19:39:41.301-06:002009-12-18T19:39:41.301-06:00wow! beautiful home!

I leave the decorating to my daughter-in-love and grandgirls since I spend Christmas at their house. ♥<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on my button photo. I've gotten many, many more comments on other photos at Flickr, but this one is different, at least the people commenting are. The majority of people commenting on this particular photo are incognito! That's weird and scary, all at the same time.

I'm afraid I'm more vintage than thrifty.<br /><br />Your little bits of Christmas made me smile. <br /><br />I think that when we do overkill decorating it actually confuses the holiday. When Christmas becomes more about Decorating than about Jesus, then we went too far. You tastefully stopped sort of that point.<br /><br />Well done.<br /><br />TroyTroyhttp://i-refuse-to-recede.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-20992325461560660912009-12-17T19:46:29.049-06:002009-12-17T19:46:29.049-06:00lovely decorating
