We have collected ornaments from our travels and each one evokes some memory of a lovely little getaway or a major vacation. I'm all for simplifying and remembering what the season is really all about.

I did buy a darling little red truck this year to sit on my mantel. I so remember those sentimental decorations. When my daughter and son married, I gave them their little decorations and they loved it.<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-15380221155476326392013-12-01T19:51:46.561-05:002013-12-01T19:51:46.561-05:00Love the expression in the elopement picture!

I do gift an ornament to the girls each year, but we always decorate the tree the same. I don't add much around the home to decorate, but I do bring in lots of fresh evergreen cuttings from our property.julie - eab designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009555833965022815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-71312064477375482602013-12-01T19:05:44.636-05:002013-12-01T19:05:44.636-05:00I feel just like you do....each year there seems t...I feel just like you do....each year there seems to be less decorating and more time wanting to spend with family.

It depends on how I'm feeling. One box of decor on the off years and ten boxes on the good years. I suppose I could think of that differently. <br /><br />I sure hope that there is room in Blogdom for us all. I don't do DIY, a lot of baking, a lot of decorating or much of anything. Ha!

Little trees here and there. One in an antique wagon. I have angels and santas. But I use less and less and like the cleaner less cluttered look. My kids are all own their own but we have little grands. Have a nice holiday. Sounds like it is already full of good ole memories.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-39370921135811543752013-12-01T18:06:50.675-05:002013-12-01T18:06:50.675-05:00I think you were the fly on the wall at my house t...I think you were the fly on the wall at my house today!

When the last of our children flew the nest in 1995, we sent the special ornaments that they made with them. So they hang on their trees now, along with the ones their children have made.<br /><br />Our children are scattered all over and we usually do not see them at Christmas. So we have adjusted and scaled back. Just this week we were talking about maybe doing something really different next year, like traveling somewhere and spending Christmas on a vacation. Just thinking about it at this stage.<br />Hugs,<br />PennyPenny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-27998367491300422472013-12-01T15:24:24.166-05:002013-12-01T15:24:24.166-05:00I like your family memento ornaments and yes, we a...I like your family memento ornaments and yes, we are simplifying a bit too, now that our children are adults, and like you, we still make our home shine with Christmas spirit.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-60108575952424294822013-12-01T15:14:47.581-05:002013-12-01T15:14:47.581-05:00I love the family photo ornaments.

We are empty nesters too, although we have our grand-daughter here a lot.<br />I love the sentimental old fashioned Christmas tree and yours is beautiful!<br />I can't keep up with different Christmas decor each year and I am not into the neutral look so popular now. So I guess we just find what works for us and don't worry about the rest.<br />CindyCindy (Applestone Cottage)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761029458170652533noreply@blogger.com
