For the past 6 years I’ve been hanging our tree upside-down from the ceiling. And while I acknowledge that it’s not for everyone, everyone always smiles when they see it. And isn’t that what Christmas is all about? My family and I love the way it looks. But mostly, we love the way it makes our holiday feel…fun, exciting and open to new adventures.
The tree topper…is now the tree bottom!

In 1972 I bought this unpainted 12 piece nativity set from a hobby ceramic shop. I lovingly hand painted each piece choosing just the right colors. I love the way it turned out, and it’s been a part of my Christmas season ever since.


Did I mention that the tree spins?!
