Very nice thanks for posting

 
We don't go in for a tree and all its decorations, just this simple creche, which my wife does up differently each year. I made the manger ten years ago out of mesquite branches harvested from our property. It is surprisingly hard to find that many 3/4" x 12" pieces of mesquite that are halfway straight over the 12" length. I gathered from our entire six acres to get enough.
 

We had 3 cats who thought the Christmas tree was their private play ground. We would put up tree and wait a couple days to decorate. This one still liked to climb and hide.

^^^^^ Haha! My tree is artificial and has no ornaments (dangling things attract the cats). My 6 cats check out the tree but so far have not tried to climb it.

^^^^^ I like it--simple and classic, well executed.

Sheeezz, another year down and time to pack up and put away all the decorations for another year. I'm not sure how many more years I can keep up with the tradition!



Btw, great job on the home decorations folks. I wish I could still do it as I really used to go all out both indoor an out. Always brought back some fond memories of growing up and traditions!
