Candy, Your tree is fantastic. I'm glad your Mom could help you with it!
I have a large one that has to be put together branch by branch too.
It's a beautiful tree, but it's just too much work for me anymore.
Your vignette with the Nativity and the Bible is lovely,
and the village houses look so nice with the other pieces in your entertainment center.
Can't wait to see what's next.

Wow! I see you have a train to travel around the tree, too. I wish there was some way to zoom into pictures to see the detail. I know I can enlarge them, but that doesn't really help much. I'd love to zoom into the tree and look at each of the ornaments.

Wow, Candy ..you sure make use of the nooks & crannies in that entertainment center! Love that!!! Always enjoy seeing your beautiful ceramic nativity set you made so long ago...the 'royal' colors are beautiful! Love the Bible opened up to the 'birth of Jesus' story, I am sure.

The tree is just unbelievable ...those long hours certainly pd off ...& how wonderful that your Mom & you could share that time tog. It is GORGEOUS!

I've seen alot of those sparkly cone trees shoppping lately...that tall green one looks great by your fireplace along w/the big lighted ornament! TFS, candy! Jeanne s.

Ohhh...& I love the book 'Polar Express' ...so that's so cool you have some ornaments! Jeanne S.

Really pretty tree, you and your Mom did a great job on it. Love your collection of houses too, nice way to display them and keep them safe too. Luvs

Beautiful tree!! Your mantel decorations are so nice! Love all of your collectibles and your handmade Nativity is gorgeous!

Those giant ornaments hanging from the mantel were less than $2???? You lucky duck.
I bet you spent lots of time on that tree. It's wonderfully old fashion.
Love the cabinet. Repro or antique? Please don't say it belonged to your long lost auntie.

Absolutely gorgeous!!

I also love to get great finds at G'will and thrift stores.

It all looks wonderful.

TFS,

Candy, your family room looks wonderful all
decorated for the Holidays. I love it that
you found a lg bible and decorated around
it. One of my brothers ended up with our
lg family bible.

I laughed when I seen your lighted green
ornament. I have at least two of them and
also some red ones I've had for years. I
also have alot of the Polar Express items.
Great minds do think alike!

So glad to hear DM helped you decorate.
Your tree, mantel and cabinet are beautiful.
