This year I decided to try a different look for our tree. As I started decorating I was wishing I would have went with our traditional decorations. All of those were ornaments from past years and there was a lot of meaning in each ornament. It was also nice to reflect on past years and memories. While we were in Arizona I asked Doran's mom if she would make some bows to go with the new look and they turned out really nice. Thanks so much!!
Well I kept going with the new ornaments. I thought the "peppermint" red and white would be pretty so I did it. I even decorated the mantle which was a new experience for me. I am NOT a decorator. I would like to hire someone to come to my house and decorate every month for each occasion. Anyway....
I LOVE my mantle.
It would look better had I taken the pictures with my camera instead of my phone and it even looks nicer in person.
The tree is still waiting for daddy to fix the missing lights but I didn't want to wait. After these pictures of the tree I even added more ornaments. At first I thought it would be too much but the more I added, the more I liked it.
The only ornament that was NOT new was the one I got the year my dad died. It was an ornament from Heaven.
And my new hairdo look. Well for one day anyway. I just can't seem to fix it the same any day. I have had 6 new looks in one week.
I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas season.
And may we focus on the real meaning for the celebration!!

Jody,
I think your new decorations are stunning! I adore your tree it is so magical.. and your mantle is just gorgeous..I especially love the words you have hanging above the mantle..
I don't go to church..well hardly ever, but i have always had a deep spiritual connection with Jesus, I know he held my hand many times and walked beside me, when life my life seemed the the grimmest.
It seems as though,especially during the Christmas season, I have a big lump in my throat, I am humbled, and so grateful that our savior was born..
gee, I bet you weren't expecting that ?
Thanks for sharing your beautiful decorations.
