I have just experienced this year that we've had to down size our decorations, or we wouldn't have been able to finish two homes. Life changes, customs are adopted to new circumstances; but the main triumph and joy for us this Christmas was, we were able to join the Christmas Eve service in our old church, my mother included. She was walking like a queen between Gunnar and brother Kel.<br /><br />I think I never fully realized that going to church is a privilege and something worth fighting for.<br /><br />The climbing nisse in your tree must come from Norway. I don't think they ever immigrated t America.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-56959624974315234292011-12-24T19:00:58.674-07:002011-12-24T19:00:58.674-07:00Debbie, loved this and that cake looks delicious! ...Debbie, loved this and that cake looks delicious!
