It seems that Christmas is starting earlier and earlier in the stores. However, if you are part of a church that follows the liturgical seasons, Christmas is a 12 day season that starts on Christmas Day. For us, this is the season of Advent--the four weeks leading up to Christmas.
I wanted our home decorations to be reminders of the season that we are celebrating. The waiting, hoping and longing for that Advent represent.
The four candles are dark purple, dark blue, blue and pink. They represent the coming of the dawn, the new day, that the birth of Jesus represents. If you are up early, you can see the horizon turning these colors as the sun breaks forth!
I picked up these trees at a garage sale or thrift shop years ago!
One of my Isabel Bloom angels. The mother of my college roommate was the manager of Isabel Bloom
in the Quad Cities. I love her work, and these angels always come out as part of our winter decorations.
Blessings to you as you prepare for the new day coming!
