I really prize my antique candle holders. I also found these punched tin stars that fit over the candles in a thrift store
I especially like the little church vignette in the Christmas ornament at the left.
In early days before electricity the trees were lit with candles. Everyone would stand around the tree while the candles were briefly lit,making sure a couple of buckets of water were handy in case of fire. |

antique Christmas tree,love the birds |
 |
| full view of the antique tree,I probably enjoy it and appreciate it more than anyone |
Finally after recovering from an injury and dealing with a recurrent chronic back pain my home is ready for the big day tomorrow. I really enjoy making it a special day for the family..its just my contribution as my husband has his very special prime rib and other dishes that we all look forward to. I am sure not complaining..It affords me more time to do the Christmas thing.
