And our Christmas Angel, back then, but we still have her.πππ And I thought I would post some other pretty Christmas quotes, which I have not used yet...
*-:~*-:~*-:~*-:~*
"With visions of
sugar plum fairies dancing in our heads, we are perfectly at home in the
dreamy world of whirling, twirling Mirlitons and arabesquing Dew drops
from the classic Nutcracker story."
From an old Dec. edition of "Victoria" magazine
*-:~*-:~*-:~*-:~*
"The holly's up, the house is all bright,
The tree is ready, the candles alight:
Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight!"
~P. Cornelius
*-:~*-:~*-:~*-:~*
"Christmas is here,
Merry old Christmas.
Gift-bearing,
heart-touching,
Joy-bringing Christmas,
Day of grand memories,
King of the year!"
~Washington Irving ~-~-~-~
"Happy,
happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish
days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; and
transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to
his own fire-side and his quiet home!"
~~Charles Dickens,
"The Pickwick Papers", 1836
~-~-~-~-~
"Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire and Christmas treat."
~~Mother Goose
~-~-~-~-~
"Heap on more wood!~~The wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We'll keep our Christmas merry still."
~~Sir Walter Scott

These are all really good quotes. And your pictures are such sweet memories!
I think your nephew was very nice when he was little, but now he is a teenager who breaks girls' hearts! π

What sweet memories! Those wooden toys are timeless and will last through great grandchildren too!
I so love the back in time photos. And I enjoyed the quotes.
Beautiful memories.
What a clever husband you have, and I love your decorations photos (they look so romantic). The quotes are great too. Hugz Mxx
Love the Christmas quotes and the memories..
Precious! The train around the tree would enchant any little boy, from eight months to eighty-plus years. My TG loves toy trains, although he owns none. He dreams about them. Your quotes are wonderful. I see Christmas through a decidedly Dickensian lens. So very literary! xoxo
Christmas is definitely for the young at heart. Love all your shares. My favorite tho, is the ealloaoered wall, sheer swag & lights!!
