Christmas rituals

We’ve gotten a good start on our Christmas rituals.

The tree and nativity are up. And today we got our coffee in Starbucks Christmas cups. 😄🎄

More neighborhood whimsy

Painted rocks (one’s a ladybug)

I’m getting so much enjoyment out of these neighborhood discoveries that I have to share a few more. But hopefully this phase won’t last too long. 😂

I’d love to know the story behind this totem pole. The sign says: “Once upon a time…And they lived happily ever after.”
A little village — including a nativity — is placed around the base of this tree, presided over by a gnome. On the other side is a sign that says: “There’s no place like gnome.”
