A Little Of My Mom At Christmas...

Christmas was my mom's absolute favorite time of the year…

Come October, the Christmas music came on and Christmas scents could be smelled throughout the house - usually starting with cinnamon scents to keep with the fall holidays as well…

Here are just a couple of her Byer's Choice Figures that I kept for myself that we put out every year for her…
They fit perfectly on top of the piano, right next to the tree...
She had SO many of these figures. Most of them stored now in bins.
Her favorites were from Williamsburg and Christmas collections...
Two Williamsburg figures and doorway...
Two Santa figures that Dave had bought for me: The Chocolate Santa and the Blue Santa that was the last Santa my mom received (we buried her with one just like this - kinda weird, I know…) 
And two Christmas figures selling toys...
She always wanted to spend some time during the Christmas season down in Williamsburg, VA.
Maybe one day we will make a family trip there…
I think you have to plan years in advance for something that goes on with the lighting of something (lanterns, trees, something special she had mentioned… Will have to do some research online…)
