    A paper fairy from England perches there.Merry Christmas,dear Corey, to you and your lovely family. 🙂

  3. Lovely Christmas decorations! An angel perches atop our Christmas tree. This is the first tree in our nearly two year marriage. A tree of new hope and wishes of merriment for the arrival of our grown children.

  4. The top of my tree holds a brass french horn with gold bow. Your decorations are just gorgeous! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  5. Dear Corey, thank you for your post. The weather here on the east coast has been unusually warm rivaling records set back in the 1880’s. No chill in the air or fire in the hearth. Work has brought long hours. Grown children have left cherished memories of Christmas past. You remind me of this joyful & holiest of seasons and to get busy with the hopes & wishes that are Christmas! Xo

  6. A red and gold spire. On top of our all-white tree, with multi-colored ornaments and lights. Because that’s how we roll in Los Angeles. 😉
    When I was growing up, we always had a winged angel with a trumpet… on top of a green tree, with silver balls from the 1950s and blue lights, the large old-fashioned kind.

  7. Almost forgot, in the 50s and 60s, we had the tinsel made out of tin, which we saved every year until it wore out. It had a great look. I don’t see tinsel anymore in the stores…

  8. Hello Corey, what a beautiful collection of what Christmas is all about it. Wishing you and your family the most wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all your gorgeous blogg posts throughout the year that always put a smile on my face. God bless your all! Kind Regards, Wendy from Aus xx
