Decorating Kitchen Knick Knack Cubby

The kitchen knick knack cubby is a top notch favorite thing to decorate for Christmas.

There are many little decorations in each cubby.

The reindeer bears who hang out on the top, purchased in Tucson, Arizona,  have been faves for a couple of decades.

It's a guarantee that some little itsy bitsy decoration is bound to be added each Christmas season.

It's just so much fun to decorate the cubbies.

It's also a perfect holiday decorating solution to someone who has very little space to feature "big" decorations.

Here comes a Happy Merry (Little) Christmas to All!

A December Surprise

 

Every day we wake up and get out of bed is cause for celebration.

Today, however, there is extra cause for being super happy!

Glancing at the kitchen counter,  some gorgeous pink colored blooms catch my eyes.

There, in all her splendorous glory, stands Christmas cactus!

The plant food and extra water have done their magic.

Christmas cactus is in bloom and well within the time frame of Christmas Day!

What a lovely way to start the day, don't you think?

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING BLOOMING DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON?

Spontaneous Collection of Sweeties

Like most collections, the sweet little angel figures were never planned to be a collection. 

 It just evolved, with the addition of each darling figure.

The one at the top has a cartful of stars!

Every single one is precious.

And they go perfectly with my tiny favorite angel baby, shown below:

HAVE YOU EVER ENDED UP WITH AN UNPLANNED COLLECTION OF SOMETHING?

Time Is Marching On...

Since daylight savings time hit, the days really do feel shorter.

Around here, it starts getting dark earlier and before you know it, it's 5 p.m. and night time.

It is amazing how short the days feel.

Christmas decorating is done for sure. Not a single extra decoration can be taken out. Nope. It would be decoration overload.

Christmas lambie pies have always been among my favorite decorations.

They are  so sweet and soft.

The little Christmas tree lights up in all different colors.

This is such a beautiful, festive season.

HOW HAS YOUR DECEMBER BEEN SO FAR?

Lots of Santa Ho Ho Ho's

 

Once upon a time, a huge Santa collection adorned a space at holiday time.

That was when we had a large house and lots of rooms to display things.

Many of those original Santa figures now adorn my daughter's house.

Here in the small apartment, I have a rag tag assortment still left.

Hanging near all of the jolly fellows is a string of pink roses that have lights! So pretty!

There are a few other larger Santa figures left, too, but we'll show them another time.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT SANTA?
