I have that same tree star!
I love getting cards, but that seems to have dwindled lately. I also love thinking of things that people would love as gifts, not just a sweater or a tie.
What a great post. I love getting cards, but I agree, they are becoming a thing of the past. I save most of mine year after year and have some from YEARS back. I like the festive feeling in the air in December.
Happy Blue Monday! I am enjoying all the Christmas specials this year. And I still need to get my Christmas cards out. You have some very "neat" ornaments. ~ Robyn
What a cute post! I love Christmas flowers too!
Happy Blue Monday.....Ann
Yay! Love this post. I love December and just reveling in the season...
your blues are all so sweet..I love December..all of it, the fun, food..the more loving nature of everyone..it's just a sweet, magical time of year.
Those are some really good reasons for loving December, and I couldn't agree more! Enjoyed your touches of blue, too. :-)
Happy Blue Monday!

Although there's no blue on your table, it is without a doubt the most beautiful Christmas table setting I've ever seen! Please invite me over! I love your blue offerings, and especially enjoyed the nativity and the stocking. Happy Blue Monday!
Hi Carrie, what a great collection of blue items you have shared with us..your table setting is gorgeous..I love the jewels on the centerpiece..I have never seen such a charming Nativity set..Have a good day.. Baba
I love that wonderful stocking! Did you make it yourself? Yes, there are so many reasons to love Christmas. At the moment, however, it is just coming up too quickly! I am certainly not ready.
I love December too. I love the blue scattered about. Christmas is the best time of the year.

Great post, with touches of blue and vintage! :) ~Rhonda
I just remembered I have several antique postcards with the Nativity on them. Thanks for the reminder - I'll get them out. Sally
i love hearing, seeing, and being involved in the extra outreach that we do through the church for the holidays! I remember so many wonderful Christmas mornings, and the thought of kids not having Christmas due to their parents' mistakes/bad choices hurts my heart.
loved your post!
Pretty, pretty, pretty! So many delightful reasons to smile as we wish Jesus a Happy Birthday in Grand Style!
Fun post! I love wrapping Christmas presents. My husband and I always make special night of it to wrap our daughter's presents.
