i put ...what an adorable scene! they are so happy!<br /><br />i put up 4 scrawny little table-top trees with homemade decorations. For some reason, the cats leave these alone. If it's a big tree, their pea-sized brains must see something that needs to be conquered! alarmcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344342425028312773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876129775144082.post-83252350902627131982016-12-10T11:33:36.575-06:002016-12-10T11:33:36.575-06:00love your drawings, so good

For me there is a little Santa ornament and those old, impossibly thin glass ornaments saved from my childhood, then wooden Danish star ornaments and a tree topping bird from her childhood. And then dozens of red origami bows and ornaments that we have made over the years too. Only white lights on the tree and sometimes we'll string popcorn and we did cranberries one year for garland. . . . And I will spend a bit of reflective morning time remembering the trees of my youth, the train and village under it, the music box manger, the endless streams of tinsel (my mother's favorite) but what I miss most is the endless parade of holiday cookies from my great aunts and grandmother. It started right after Thanksgiving and didn't let up til New Years!! Nut Roll, Poppyseed Roll, Apricot Tea Dainties, Lady Locks, Black Walnut cookies, Buckeyes, Cattern Cakes, Thumbprints, Rugulach (sp?) and on and on and on. <br /><br />The drawing is ADORABLE! I was just playing the "Welcome Christmas" song from The Grinch last night and this reminds me of it. :)Nicolas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126974984715446831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876129775144082.post-84535001996467176212016-12-10T08:41:04.000-06:002016-12-10T08:41:04.000-06:00Ahh, those cute bears are having fun.
