CHRISTMAS DECORATING: Day 2

My all-time favorite nativity, handmade and purchased in Bratislava, Slovakia.

And, two more...

Today we unpacked and arranged the nativities, or Bethlehem's as MK calls them. The little girls took delight in uncovering each tissue-wrapped parcel. We started on the mantel--adding a few crystal candle sticks and an ivy garland. We will soon add the silver apple and pear stocking holders and a few more glitzy touches.

We have one missing wreath holder...

And, good news! The light-studded outdoor star is ready to hang.
