Scenes of the Season: Christmas 2012

Reindeer and tomte/nisse

yummy stollen

An angel music box, tablecloth and...

 a favorite dinnerware pattern from my past -- all connections to my mom whom I miss daily

but especially at this time of the year.

The makings of jul neg...

and an annual Nordic Christmas tree.

and light,

lots and lots of light in this time of sadness (for some)

and darkness.

Light

to remind me of the Light of the World who is Christ Jesus.

Blessings on this late December morn,

Aimee
