Happy Holidays
Here I am by the manger that I set up in the dining room; it was bought by my parents for $9.95 at Montgomery Wards in the 1960’s. My father made the box from birch branches that he cut by hand at his parent’s farm.
Different years I decorate different ways. When I don’t set up the manger in the dining room, I like to recycle my Christmas decorations throughout the house.
Different trees in the Dining Room over the years
More Dining Room Trees
A big tree set up in the living room, a tree in my TV room, and me by the Fire Place

Enjoyed the tour of decorations Fred. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The Happiest of New Years to you too pbmgarden. I’m guessing, but soon it will be like Spring in your neck of the woods. Here in the northeast I have to wait almost four months until Spring comes again. But, around mid January stores will start selling seed packets, and I can’t wait to go through what they have to offer. This last gardening season I started some plants from seed (haven’t done that for years) and I was quite successful. This year I want to try all kinds of annual seeds and see what happens ;-}
