It's seems a good year to leave some of the festive lights and decorations out for a while longer, I notice one or two people down the street have left their twinkling lights on.

I love your star, beautiful. I haven't heard about the chalking on the door either. I should think so many people are disappointed that plans can't continue at the moment but this is the worst period for us to have to go through in this ever changing situation.

It's a lovely tradition and one to emulate. We've kept up some fairy lights and I love sitting in the living room reading or stitching with the glow of them on the mantel.

Until 6th January the shepherds are near the Holy Family and the magi with their camel are somewhere else in the house on their journey. On 6th January the shepherds and most of the sheep move a little distance from the crib and the Magi move in to do their bit. I love the idea of chalking the door.Frugally challengedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222391810215537820noreply@blogger.com
