I love my huge star!

And, look! I even have some presents underneath!
Now, on to some favorite ornaments......

Joseph, Jesus and Mary

a tiny stocking from a great-aunt when I was three years old

Vince gave me this cottage the first Christmas in our first house
(that house also had a red door!)

a memento from the beach this past summer

a NYC taxi cab from our first trip there together

an ornament from my parents' trip to England this past summer

Razorback Santa--Whoo Pig Sooie!!

(Vince's) Darth Vader

a giant peppermint handcrafted by my sister

a favorite Father Christmas--I love that he's wearing a blue coat!

this is one of several *vintage postcard* ornaments on the tree

a souvenir from a vacation in DC

a Blue Willow teacup
Well, I could go on and on (don't tempt me--I have more pictures!), but I'll be kind and let you go visit some more blogs today (hehe).
Visit There Is No Place Like Home for some more fun show & tell!
