...new traditions?


The further I pass the 'Half of a Century' marker, the more I find myself relinquishing old traditions and NEEDING to make new...

Never is this as heartfelt as it is at the Holidays.
remember Sesame Shimmer (L)?? - she has a new buddy Tommi (albeit headless!!)

Some old traditions
...just get added too, the new incorporated...


Our old aluminum tree has been assigned a new Holiday home in the corner of the Dining Room!
...others get shifted and repositioned...


The 'vintage TREE TOPPER collection, which hasn't seen the light of day in several years, was brought out this year, dusted off and displayed anew on a little Charlie Brown tree.

...and still others are completely reworked, and given a new twist...



Our yearly Garlands adorned in beloved vintage ornaments - safe from harms way!!
...some classics remain tried and true...

We must remember, as hard as it may be, to make room for the new, the untested...
Driftwood tree 'housing' vintage bird décor.

...and remember that there is no '...someday...' like TODAY!
Christmas Eve first attempt @ roasting Chestnuts. 
 Have been wanting to try this since our first trip to NYC!!
YUMMO!
Most of we Must remember to enJOY the life we live!
