Ron's woodturning skills have given us more little bird houses (acorn shaped) to hang on the tree.
The ark dates back to Washington days. Missing are the two birds that are supposed to sit on the roof. Time does bring about attrition, as these ornaments go in and out of boxes.
This nativity scene is always in its glass case. You have to click on this one to see the charming Petersen mice.

I love seeing all your unique Christmas things, but this nativity scene has got to be my favorite, those little mice are absolutely captivating. Where did you get this? Since I've never been to your house at Christmas time this is a neat way for us to see these decorations. You have some very special things.
I started collecting the Petersen mice a long time ago. Everything I have is symbolic of our life - there is a kyak, a man (mouse?) sleeping in an easy chair, there is the tooth fairy, a mouse at an easel, and one at the sewing machine, and on and on - it took a few years to get all the pieces to the nativity set - the careful attention to all the details in each piece means that the cost is going up - I get tempted every now and then, but I haven't added to the collection for quite a while. Glad you like my little tour.
We all like it. I remember Christmas at your house on Tumwater hill. I feel like I am back there. Good feeling.
