Blog about Christmas decorations that are special to you.
I'm a Christmas minimalist. I do have boxes of family heirloom ornaments in the attic for the rare years when we get a Christmas tree.
Most years, I have a box on a high shelf that contains certain precious decorations. I grab the box and decorate.
Stained Glass Angel
I decorate the Norfolk pine in the living room with ornaments I bought at Tuttle's my first Christmas in NH. (I've had the pine since then too - I brought it with me from home to my very empty apartment!)
I found this wooden pine at the Collector's Eye in Stratham the first year we didn't decorate a big tree.
The wooden carved Santa was made by a carver and painter in Newfoundland. I brought it home, along with sock yarn, as a souvenir of our trip there in 2004.
German Christmas pyramid which I've had for many years
Isn't the tiny tree precious? It's about 1 inch tall.
Looking over the angel's shoulder, you can see she's singing Stille Nacht (Silent Night).

LOVED the unstraight tree! It takes all kinds, that's for sure.
Have a lovely, lovely day, Sue.
I used to have one of the candle powered whirly gigs when I was a girl. I had forgotten all about it. Ian is a nut for the tree so it goes up the day after he cuts it, and it's up for over a month! Wishing you the best this Christmas~
Sue, tell me more about raising the pine inside?
The decorations are lovely, each and every one of them. This year I just grabbed a few myself and instead of doing a tree, we're going out for dinner.
I did put up lots of greenery and the packages look festive sitting on the bed in new back room.
Have a wonderful day tomorrow, full of good food, good fun and a few little surprises along the way.

I love those special ornaments that have a special meaning. Thanks for sharing yours. Merry Christmas!
Your decorations are lovely, merry Christmas!
Thanks so much for sharing - I know it's all over now, but I loved seeing your decorations. Sometimes less is more and I think you've got it right on the minimalist note! Just Beautiful - and the photographs you took are quite good as well. I particularly love the sun onthe horizon with the angel stained glass!
