This year Melissa decorated the mantle. We really scaled back. There are some things that HAVE to get put out.
Like Mickey's Clock Shop. It's been a tradition forever.
And the Nutcrackers. Melissa has quite the collection. She plays with them too. So there really isn't a display. Well, not one that stays the same. It's constantly changing.
A spot is found for these little guys too. Made many years ago. Tradition.
When the girls were little, I got this little Nativity set. I loved that they could play with it. I didn't want to put a fragile Nativity set out and tell them NO you can't touch. It just seemed so wrong. So this one was perfect. I LOVE that they now demand that it still gets put under the tree when we decorate.
(I still have a few Joys left to share with you. Look out for them before the end of the year.)

Aww how cute. I don't have a mantle. I wish I did. I totally want one so bad. I wanted to dig out my old nativity set from my mom's decorations this year that are up in the attic and didn't. Next year! Love the decorations.
I love these, I'm glad you kept your traditions - even if you scaled back a little. I understand COMPLETELY.
You have such wonderful decorations, Jana! And the socks!!! Oh, the socks!!! I love your socks!!!
Fabulous decorations, everything has a history and good memories attached to them - just perfect Jana!
Merry Christmas to you all, hope Christmas was still joyful for you :-)
