Merry Christmas 2020 style

Posted on December 25, 2020 by Patti_is_knittinginflashes

Mr. Aitch and I have a very low-key Christmas.

Our “rustic” tree was decorated with some themed ornaments that reflect our year.

I hope you all have a very merry holiday celebration at this time of the year. We do Christmas.

Need a fun and unique gift idea for families and friends? Enter the Peppermint Pig sold exclusively by Saratoga Candy Company!

I’ve sent these delicious confections to family and friends for at least five years and will continue to do so each year. Children LOVE this and adults have just as much fun. Check out this post from a while back.

Note: I received no compensation from Saratoga Candy Company. I like their products and thought you might, too.

Happy (belated) New Year

Did you do anything special to ring in the new year?

Mr. Aitch and I had a relaxing evening at home. We toasted in the new year then went to bed shortly after midnight. We are such party animals. NOT!

I did finally get a Holiday project finished right in time for the new year… 3-d Moravian stars.

I bought this kit that makes two 20-point stars several years ago and thought it would be a fun thing to do with the grands. And then decided I would make them myself.

Good thing, too as the limited instructions were very difficult for me to understand without going online for help.

But I soldiered on and finished both stars.

I hung them in the dormer windows in the two front bedrooms Monday evening.

We live on a hill and it’s hard to get a picture of our house from the street but here is a shot of the front. You might be able to make out the stars in the half-round windows.
