I just wanted to share with you some of my Christmas decorations. They may not be big or fancy, but they fit my little apartment perfectly. And I love them!
Especially this nativity scene, which I think I've had since I was born. I'll have to get my Mom to tell me the story on it. For the longest time I always thought it was a Precious Moments set, but upon further inspection this year... I'm realizing that it might not be! And if it is, then it's an ancient/retro Precious Moments set that must have been made before they had the signature "Precious Moments" eyes... Regardless, I just LOVE this nativity:
And my little snowman and Christmas tree countdown calendar that sits on top of my TV:
And a fun little doorknob hanger snowman jingle bell thingy. I got this last year from Trevor's grandparents, I believe:
And this I know I got from Trev's grandparents Kayle and Deanna... it's a fun little winter rug. Cute little penguins all wrapped up in hats and scarves:
Here's my typical Christmas tree shot. You might be able to see some of my Precious Moments ornaments. These are for SURE legitimate Precious Moments items. I guess my Mom made me into a collector (it started with my "Baby's First Christmas" ornament and I get a new one almost every year!), and I'm grateful. I think they are such sweet, darling little figurines! Anyway,this is honestly my favorite corner of the house this time of year. Sometimes I just turn off the lights and let the tree just glow. It's such a peaceful and yet exciting feeling to sit by the glow of the lights on the tree! One of life's little pleasures, I guess:
I just LOVE Christmastime, and most of all because the whole world seems to turn their thoughts to peace, love, happiness, and, most of all, Jesus Christ. What a wonderful gift He gave all of us by laying down His life so that we might also overcome death and live again and have the opportunity to return to the presence of our Father in Heaven. No other gift given was greater than this gift that Christ gave so willingly to every man that would ever walk the earth. It's amazing that such a gift can be so universal, but so personal all at the same time.I hope you take time to enjoy the true meaning of Christmas this year. Read the Christmas story in Luke. Listen to Christ-filled songs! Just enjoy every single minute of it and try not to get too caught up in the "busy" and the "buying" of this season.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Hello, I was wondering if you found anything out about your nativity scene... My Husbands mom had this same one a long time ago and we got his christmas stuff out of storage, and it looks just like yours! But we are missing a few pieces. So i was hoping maybe you could help me locate where i could get the few pieces im missing??
ReplyDeleteHello! I still don't know where it came from. So sorry! :( I wish I could be of more help, but I think my mom said she just bought it somewhere and didn't remember what brand it was. Good luck!!
Deleteoh dont be sorry! it's fine! Im just happy to have found someone with the same one!! Thankyou so much for your help! :)
ReplyDeleteMy family has the same one, and I was looking to hopefully buy another one just like it.
ReplyDeleteI have the same set. Can't find any info on the internet and my mother can't remember where she bought it. I'm trying to find the value so I can sell it.
DeleteIf you're interested, my email is polkaca@hotmal.com
I know its been a few years, so I figured I would ask about your nativity. Did you ever find anything out about it? I am trying to replace my mother's same set that was ruined.
ReplyDeleteI just found this set online. I have the same one and am missing some pieces as well. It's House Of Lloyd Christmas Around the World Lord Jesus Nativity. HTH!
