Sleigh Bells Ring, Can You Hear 'Em!

The tree is up and Santa and his sleigh landed below to unload the packages for good boys and girls.

Santa's helpers lined up on the window ledge to assist and who is that I spy in the reflection? It must be Mrs. Claus!

I bought this mistletoe at the thrift at least 25 years ago and it is part of our Christmas tradition. It always hangs in the doorway between the kitchen and living room and quietly waits to pounce on anyone who lingers there a little too long. That mistletoe could tell a few stories!

Celestina Marie said...: Hi Kathy, Yes I hear them ringing. How cute your reflection taking your window pic. I have the very same vintage mistletoe. I purchased it nearly 30 years ago too and it also hangs between or living room and kitchen. Sometime when I am in the kitchen cooking, my hubby will stand there looking up hoping I will notice. LOL
Have a nice rest of the weekend.

Betsy@My Salvaged Treasures said...: I love all your treasures line up on the window ledge with Mrs. Claus looking over them:-) I'm sure the mistletoe has a few tales to tell!!; December 15, 2013 at 7:42 AM
Annette said...: Yes, Mrs. Claus, I hear them!! I love your Santa sleigh and especially that wonderful fabric under it with pinecones. Still have to finish the decorating here.; December 15, 2013 at 8:12 AM
Maureen said...: Love all the Santas lined up ... and yes, I DO spy Mrs Claus! ;) So cute. That sleigh and reindeer are wonderful too - love the old decorations.

I started using a fake sprig of holly (didn't have mistletoe) taped up on the doorway between the kitchen and the dining room many years ago. Every time I unpack the decorations, that sprig goes back up and hubby always spots it... gosh it must be about 25 years too; we've been in this house since 1987!; December 15, 2013 at 12:13 PM
