Special things…..

As I put away our Christmas decorations..and we have many…I am reminded how special some things are.  For example I have three wise men that are approximately 12 inches tall.  They were my grandmother’s.  I have no idea where they were made, what they are made from or really, anything about them.  All I know is that they were hers and she loved them dearly.  When she died, I wanted them because I too had learned to love them.

Another item that we have is a set of manger people/characters that my mother made for my daughter, Tuesday.  They were hand made by her and I love them dearly.  They will be a treasured item for my daughter to pass onto her children.  Each one has so much detail…I love them more every year when we take them out.
