O Little Town of Bethlehem

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Did you feel the tension in the air that night?

Could you guess that something big was happening?

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Did you see the star shine bright?

In your teeming masses did you see ones so small?

Lowly couple from a far could you see them?

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem

In the streets could you hear the doors slamming, with no room for them?

Did you hear her groaning, in heights of labor?

Did you hear the babe's first wails, in an open manger stall?

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Did you miss it all?

The Savior came that night to save us all.

Did you miss it all?

We sing of you now Bethlehem so we'll remember all.

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Christmas Decorating

This year like so many other areas of my life. I went simple with the Christmas decorating. In fact I didn't even put ornaments on my tree. Instead I went for simple white lights and a few smaller trees of silver and white.

My favorite decoration this year is my updated coffee filter wreath. I added some letters from the craft store and the silver winter bird. I love the way it turned out.

For the kitchen table I also went simple and showcased my favorite nativity set. 

My other favorite nativity is the one my Grandmother cross-stitched for us years ago. I always make sure to make this a focal place each year.

Mouse, on the other hand, is never a less is more style decorator. She is always wanting to put all the ornaments on her tree. Thankfully I was able to scale her down a little bit too. This year we added two large bulbs instead of the angel to the top, due to height issues.  I think she did a pretty good jobs.

How did you decorate this year?
