This is my submission to an awesome contest sponsored by The Alliance!!
For this contest, we want photos of your decorations! How easy is that? These can be Christmas decorations or your tree, Kwanza, your menorah, your light display, whatever and what not you may pull out of the mouse turd covered dusty boxes and storage containers each year that you love so much. The rules are super easy and simple. Here's what you need to do to qualify as an entrant this year:
I have been trying to stay active... Whether it's in all my servers, or of course, in my community. But man... I love all things Christmas!! Now then; this isn't going to be a "show off" post. But instead, another way to spread some love, positive energy, and of course... Christmas spirit!!
~Knock Knock~
In true "Trailer Trash" style... Can't go having your door not decorated! We used those Command Strips to hang these two ornaments. The wreath is a little weathered, and we ended up giving the Candy Canes to the stepson for his door. But each year, we still hang the wreath on the door. I think we picked both of these up on sale at Big Lots back in 2016 or maybe 2017? Either way... we all love to look at them, and the only bad thing is when the birds decide to use them as their "poo target practice"!
~Hello there Tink!~
As many of you know... my stepdaughter and her three kids live with us. My stepdaughter is a single mom and didn't have anywhere to go when she was hurt at work and lost her job. We take care of family... yes? So we let them move in until she could find a place for her and the kids. But before they moved in, we started a tradition with my granddaughter; she simply loved (and still does) Tinker Bell. So when I found the ornament above, I just had to get it for her. We don't put it on the tree now, in hopes that it won't get broken, and will stay in perfect shape; hopefully, she can start her own traditions when she gets older, and hang it on her family's Christmas tree.
Oh Christmas Tree
It has been quite a few years since we put our Christmas tree up. Between lack of space. Combined with too many things always going on. I am sure you all know we have been (and continue to) dealing with issues with our mobile home. We did what we could to try and fix things up. But these grandkids that live with us, wouldn't give up until we put our tree up this year. I had planned on submitting this for the Reflection Hunters Challenge. But I guess not doing so happened for a reason... I was able to share it with you all in this contest post. The furniture behind the tree is actually a waterbed set... that's the dresser you see with the mirror. We had to move a lot of the furniture in our bedroom to our front room, when our family was here helping us repair our floors. We were going to move it back to the bedroom... but not being able to fix the floor. Combined with it being so darn heavy... yeah we left it in the front room! Makes a nice backdrop for photos... right?
Our Angel
This will be the final photograph of an ornament. Many of you might also remember our dear granddaughter we lost to Leukemia several years ago. (July 2nd, 2012 - September 20th, 2013). She passed away peacefully at our home. Surrounded by family and loved ones. Sadly, she passed before being able to see this ornament... Of all the things that made her smile. Angels were the one thing she absolutely loved. This is one of those fiber-led ornaments, that changes colors slowly... Like the Tinker Bell ornament, we also have this put away for safekeeping. But we do place it on our tree at Christmas, to honor her memory, and of course... to pause and remember how she brought love, and joy, to all of us here... She's with the Angels now. And we all can't help but get a little teary-eyed when we look at this beautiful ornament; quite fitting, wouldn't you agree?
It was not my intention to end things on a sad note. Nor to try and garner some kind of sympathy for your votes. But then... you all knew that lol... as most of you have known me since 2017. I think the main thing about this contest. Is it allows us to share each of our individual traditions, ideals, and means of celebration. for Christmas, New Years, or whatever the holidays mean... to you! This is an awesomesauce contest... and I would like to thank @enginewitty, and @thealliance, for letting us share our Christmas vibes. I am looking forward to seeing all of those ornaments!

Good Luck Brother! I have no xmas decorations up.. so have a win for us both! 🤣
@inthenow,
We've got a lot more. But they are original old glass one's. Many were my better half's moms. So those do not get put out. As for winning... we all do, when we work together, right?

Ending with angels is not sad! It's a victory, and beautiful.
@wwwiebe,
Hey brother... Thank you, and I agree. But you know me; I'm always going above and beyond. To make sure everyone knows my true feelings. We've only got our words... here, on this space. So never hurts to go overboard on the explanations!

Still enjoying your Blind Skeleton Radio broadcasts! Much love your way!

Lovely decorations, especially the story of the angel ornament.
@thekittygirl,
Ok... you got me. Listened to this several times late last night/early this morning. Like the idea of your soul being captured by a photograph... I guess to some, thinking of an inanimate object as being an actual "person" is unusual. But... I am unusual lolol... and silly, and all those things that personifies weird. But I worked hard for that!
Thank you... for what, I could write a short novel. But it's easier just to say thank you (plus... you'd write it better anyway 😉😊).

There's a song I had on a USB lost now somewhere that has a sample in it saying something about life that included "there is such great joy and also great sorrow".
It's so much of everything, Isn't it?
I'm so sorry for your immense loss. And these events are always such a whirlwind of emotion, memory, often sorrow and joy and life and everything all at once.
She would have loved it. No doubt. In fact... when I saw it I stopped and just stared at it. It felt as though I'd seen it before and something was jolted in my mind somewhere. Perhaps we had one like it. We must have.
Your decorations are friggin' awesome, dude! It's like stepping back in time for a while. This post. And those Christmasses way back when... when we were little enough for this not to be so retro? Those were the ones.
Those were the ones.
@nickydee,
It was indeed, such an emotional time. I was at work when she passed. I was also one of the pallbearer's at her service. Just goes to show... never miss an opportunity to say, "Love you".
Glad you liked the ornaments... I'm 52, so grew up in "that era" lol. You'd love the year (2014) we wrapped gifts like our parents used to:
This was in the day's before Multiple Sclerosis took my ability to work. When you make over $30.00 USD a week... you can do that lol. Now... buying gifts means you go without food, and get behind on payments; darn life!
Anyway... it is what it is... yes? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours, dear friend.
!LUV
Love this:
"Never miss the opportunity to say I love you."
Yes. We always believe there will be enough time.
I'm almost 52 :)
My era as well. Which is why this resonated so deeply.
Presents? None this year my side. And even food is simple. But joy? These days... a great deal of it.
So I think it balances out! :D
I've always been a natural ascetic and Minimalist though. And the present thing always made me uncomfortable. Love giving. But I find it difficult to receive still.
Work in progress.
Enjoy the moment. Remember the past fondly. And look forward to the future.
Merry Christmas, angel 💓
This is beautiful.
Finally found time to listen to it (I never rush music, or try not to!)
Less than two mins in and I already feel calmer. I'm going to listen to this in the dark and quiet as a fall asleep at night.
How's that instrument though. 👀
So beautiful! The clarinet's my fave wind instrument but this might actually top it!
@nickydee,
Oh yes... I found this dear soul one night while searching for "Meditation Sleep Music". If you click "more" in the video description. You will see the following:
Instruments used in this Live Looping Meditation: - Walnut & Ebony Bass Flute made by SingingTree Flutes - Tuned to 432Hz in the Key of C - Tibetan Endless Knot Buffalo Shaman Drum - 10 Ball ShakerHe is such a talented soul, for sure. Have you looked through all of his videos?
Love and light...
Wes
Never seen him but he looks like a little angel. Will dig more of his stuff up
Thanks for sharing this. And the info on the flutes 👍🏼
And then I couldn't not and bought the younger Human AC Valhalla.
That's the whole series now. It had to be done. 👍
Oh dear... it would seem we are on the same wavelength train. When I am not on "here"... I am on this:
I am 52... and yes, I still play video games, when MS allows... Valhalla is a great game. So are God Of War: Ragnarock and Horizon Forbidden West...
TAG!! You're it!!
Horizon Dawn is phenomenal!
My son is currently all over GOW videos only. So I'm being introduced to it. It's a bit old for him still.
Currently lost all my Fortnite skils as haven't played since I started roaming. :(
On it now and taking a break. It's bad. Real bad. Back to Bot bad.
Grrrrrrrr
Update:
I can't keep up with the kids and am too proud to go back to being sneaky to get a win in Fortnite.
Rage quit at around 10.45pm 👍

Beautiful decorations 😍 I loved the Tinkerbell ornament. Merry Christmas to you and your family
@irenenavarroart,
Thank you for such kind words! It did turn out to be a cool looking photo. The hard part, many years ago. Was keeping it out of my granddaughters hands lol.
Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! To you and your friends and loved ones...
May you win the contest :)
Good to see you, bro, we'll be decorating these holidays mainly with the fire from the fireplace and the good vibes of the persons close to me but it is always great to see how my friends celebrate and decorate their houses for the holy days :)

They did do several cartoon movies a few years back, one I think was the Neverbeast or something like that. No story about her in ages though, you right.
