The living room is done...see the cat 
I left these last two Nativity photos large so you can see them...Melli, I hope this works! I love both of these because they are probably the most unique I have. I love that they represent other cultures...the Eskimos and the Native Americans. I also like the fact that the "stables" are cultural with the Igloo and the TeePee.
My decorating is done and now it's time to finish that SHOPPING that I haven't done. I plan to take a personal day one day next week to tackle that chore. Since I'm on a roll showing you every other holiday nook and cranny I have, I'll leave you with our family room tree. I wanted to show you our favorite ornaments on this tree, but I realized that I have so many with names on them! So, you'll have to view it from afar.
This is the one that holds all of our homemade ornaments. It is also filled with ornaments that the kids have received as gifts over the years. I love decorating it each year. Yesterday, when DS 4 and I were putting ornaments on, he said, "You know what Christmas makes me think about?" I asked him what. He said, "It is about memories. These ornaments make me remember so many special things."
You know what? I think he's got it!

Beautiful! What day are you taking off? I've got to run to Sarasota to pick up the breadmaker from Mom and Dad to give to our friends and would love to hook up for some shopping and/or lunch.
Love,
Heather
Yeap your son has got it!! memories!! I love your pictures and they do enlarge!! Thanks so much!! Your home looks so nice and cozy!! Sandy
Everything looks beautiful! I am STILL waiting on my sweet son to bring my tree down from the loft so I can put it up and decorate it!!!
Also, I love your nativities. I have several myself. If I ever get my decorations up I might share mine too!!!
Hi Susan, your home looks very warm and inviting for Christmas....Thanks for sharing with us..all of your nativities are so special and you must enjoy them every year...you have made me want to start collecting different ones also...Love ya, baba
Your trees are beautiful! I can never get ribbon to look right so I've given up. I have not met a cat that doesn't like exploring a Christmas tree!!!!
Love these, Susan! That Eskimo set is so cute! And what beautiful trees!
Oh is that angel from Avon a couple of decades back ;) We actually have one also but ever since we had Samantha she wants the top of the tree lit up ;)

Just beautiful, Susan. I can't believe all those nativities! And you know the what/why/when behind each and every one.
Hi Susan, Come see what I bought today...You will love it. baba
cats are so smart they cant wait for us to put up our supersized tree cat toys
Your trees are beautiful! I just love seeing everyone else's decorations!
I have to admit it's a little weird seeing the native American nativity, knowing that many tribes do not follow Christianity, though it's beautiful just the same! (Maybe they do now. I dunno. One of my friends is married to a native American man and their tribe is VERY pagan.)
Wow, I'm impressed. I sent you an Advent Ribbon...so look out for it in the mail!
I like your "different" nativity scenes too. I wouldn't have thought to make one like that, but they are very cool
Your trees are beautiful too.
