Images of Christmas

I love taking pictures of lights and of course Christmas provides lots of opportunities.

The stocking were hung....

Today I sent off my fifteenth cross stitched stocking (I stitched thirteen and my mom stitched two for me).  This one went to Jason's new wife Jaime.  All of them have been labors of love and have gone to family members.

The pattern is from Shepherd's Bush in Utah.  I love their primitive folksy designs. I stitched the first stockings, for my kids, in 1996; good thing they keep making new designs. I have made some of the patterns more than once but each time I change something--different colors, different border. 

Does your family hang stocking for Santa to fill? Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all--hope you are having a great day and Santa was good to you. We are in San Diego with family...the day is beautiful and the company the best. Beside Santa's appearance I love Christmas as it gets me thinking about my Savior and the path He walked from baby to His ascension from the cross.
