BLUE MONDAY - Time for Christmas Treasures to Share

Please visit Sally at Smiling Sally for Blue Monday. If you are in love with the color blue, don't miss a visit to Sally's blog today.

Thank you Sally for our Blue Monday fun.

I am thankful that you are improving with your strength and health Sally. I am thankful that you still keep a lovely blog party going every Monday.

You are a dear blogging friend and I am thankful for you.

I love sharing my love of blue on Blue Monday.

Christmas blue is my share today.

Time to share our Christmas Nativity.

This has been my treasure for 50 plus years. I bought this in 1960 before I married my husband. The angel fell off and she somehow was glued back on at an angle. It makes me smile every time I see her like she is taking flight.

It is always in a special place in our home at Christmas.

Happy Blue Monday

Blessings,

JEANNE

Hi Jeanne..*hugs*
Your nativity scene is sweet and its so special because you have taken it out 50 times..*s*. I loved reading about the little angel that fell off and was glued and it made me smile also.

I am sure you had such a good time with your daughters and nice to be in warm weather too. I wonder if you are at home now. HOpefully you made it home before the snow. We have had temps in the 50s today and the whole Thanksgiving weeked was wonderful in all ways and with weather as well.

It was a little strange not having any snow and often times it is so cold this weekend when Marc and I watch the annual Santa Clause parade. It goes right past my street. This year it felt very comfortable weather wise.

I hope you have a great Blue Monday...

Hey I'm now following you. When did you change that?? I've tried before, but I swear it wasn't a google thing??
That angel looks something like me... a little slanted, but still going in the right direction, LOL. I know I'm no angel, but Sister thinks I am : )
Colt just left to go to his friends, just now. It's late, but he had an assignment due, actually two of them, so he was very busy these last few weeks. He's doing well. Riley has a girl, so he's been seeing her this weekend. We now have him on a so called "budget". He seems keen on it. He would like to take a little vacation to Mexico in Feb. So he MUST save his money.
All my little pressies and cards are ready to mail. My goal was Dec. 1st. I only have Claudia's to finish. I'm done reading the "CHICK BOOK", now I have to do some highlighting. I'm mailing it to Claudia first. Then she can mail it onwards.
Off to take a shower and crawl into bed with Randy. Early night.
Had a WONDERFUL lunch with my sister and Sister Lolotte on Sat.
Be safe

What a wonderful Nativity! We had one very similar when growing up and I remember our angel falling and getting broken. We got a replacement angel, but it never really matched.

Thanks for sharing this nativity with blue. I have a nativity collection, so of course I love it!

Thanksgiving was a wonderful day, even though we were alone. We spoke to our children by phone, though, and had turkey with trimmings. (burp!)

Happy Blue Monday, Jeanne!

Oh, the sweet, remembered things from so many Christmases past!! That's such a dear Nativity---small and with such pleasant little expressions. And the angel pointing, like Calpurnia showing the Finch children, "See, Sweet Baby, there's your DADDY up there!"

You have some of the most precious traditions and memories---I think often of how much I'd have missed had we not met, and I treasure these lovely things and times and people that you share. And the people that you've shared and introduced us to---several have come to be dear, sweet friends of my own, just through your kind generous way with sharing, like a warm hostess who wants all her guests to love each other.

Stay well and warm, my Dearie,

love,

rachel
