Merry Christmas!



                                               Merry Christmas!

I hope whatever the day has in store for you, you take the time to breathe in  and catch the magic of the day. Christmas comes but once a year, and sometimes we get caught up in the preparations more than enjoying the joy of the day- especially with the burden of preparing food, wrapping fits, making family plans, and the burdens of the day to day work week and the worries of the world. 

So stop...and enjoy. 

Enjoy the Now of the season. the day of Christmas. Eat the cookies and egg nog  for breakfast, or that slice of pie leftover last night from Christmas Eve dinner. Save a present to open tomorrow, because, like me , you just don't want Christmas to end. Celebrate the 12 days of Christmas- which begins TODAY- and ends January 6th!!! So you can keep Christmas going for that much longer, since it only seems to last for a short period of time. Keep that Christmas tree up as long as you want- because adult-ing is a drag, and sing those Christmas carols past the new year. Enjoy yourself. 

I wish all of you a very, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

                                           Countdown to Christmas- Day 25!

                               

                            Merry Christmas- December 25th, 2020!

                        We are at the last day of our Countdown to Christmas!

                   I saved these photos - Because Jesus is the reason for the season.

 I had so much fun a few years ago, collecting the dolls , building the stable, and sewing their clothing. I had my 'town' of characters put on a Nativity pageant /play . These are some of my most treasured photos in my collection and on this blog. 

      I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

                   And may all of your dolly wishes and dollhouse dreams come true!

Countdown to Christmas- Day 22 !

 




                                         Countdown to Christmas- Day 22!

                           The Poppys are caroling, caroling those 

                                             Christmas carols!

Countdown to Christmas- Day 21!

 







                                               Countdown to Christmas- Day 21!

                                     It's a Mod, Mod Christmas!

      I have been wanting to get this diorama set up for a while now. I just couldn't

 wait to to get photos of it. I still have more dolls to dress and more items to put in the scene, but wanted to include it here. I have so many props, miniatures, etc it is hard to decide what to include in a scene. There is a stack of dolls needing clothes to include in the kitchen for a Christmas cookie scene. I loved this house as a kid, and repurchased it for myself for a birthday present a few years ago. My original one has a cracked roof. 

Enjoy!
