I love 'Old English Christmas' writings, by Washington Irving.  :-) 
Like my Quote Of The Day below.

I finally put this Holiday Decoration together!!!  It's Faerie Lights and sparkly balls, in a glass bowl.  It does make a pretty display, but it's HARD to DO.  All parts of it, seem to *have a mind of their own.*  The Faerie Lights don't want to stretch out and stay where I want them.  The balls want to roll and fall out and.......   But I finally got it done and it's gonna' stay that way!  :-)

Another picture of the "Geewilikers" store, downtown.  It's an old store, and has 2 front doors.  Each front door, is entered between 2 big display windows.  So, she has 4 big windows, and loads of room to do lovely displays.

 Was going to go down-street at twilight yesterday.  But, I *chicken-ed out,* after my nap.  Didn't want to go out in the cold.  'Twas the Full Cold Moon and 'twas cold and I am a WIMP!!!  lol.  "Uncle A." would have gone but..................   Maybe this afternoon...

The thing is, we live in a small city, which cherishes its Victorian history.  Broadway is decorated with loads of flowers, in Summer.  And at Holiday Time, it is decorated for Christmas.  We love it!  We appreciate it!  So.......  We should show it, and celebrate it.  :-)

An old pic of the Patio Pumpkin, with snow on it.  Snow is gone, but it made a cute pic and I might as well use it.  :-)

And now, some delightful pics of Old Fashioned Christmas display!!!

Oh how I would love to visit some place like this!!!
-sighhhhhhhhhhhh-

'Course, technically.....  That's not really an 1700's Christmas.  No electric Faerie Lights back then...  ,-)    But it's still beeeeeeeeeeutiful, isn't it? -sighhhhhh-

“The grate had been removed from the wide overwhelming fireplace, to make way for a fire of wood, in the midst of which was an enormous log glowing and blazing, and sending forth a vast volume of light and heat; this I understood was the Yule-log, which the Squire was particular in having brought in and illumined on a Christmas eve, according to ancient custom.”

~~Washington Irving
