Ever since I did some serious downsizing in the wake of my husband’s sudden walkout on me five years ago, I’ve been making do with limiting most of my Christmas decorations to a coffee table in my living room. I basically celebrate something I call a Tabletop Christmas. Here’s a picture of my setup that I took in 2012 but it’s still the same this year so I have no problem with reposting it.
I’ve written previous blog posts about some of my decorations that I’ve put up, which you can read about at these links below:
Ginger Cottages Incense Burner
A Small One-Piece Peruvian Nativity Set
A Small One-Piece Wooden Nativity Set
Two Hedgehog Ornaments That I Originally Purchased When I Owned Spike, My Late Pet Hedgehog
Befana the Witch Glass Ornament
Ornament Resembling a Stuffed Teddy Bear in a Traditional German Outfit
A Fused Glass Gingerbread Man That I Made in a Workshop
A Fused Glass Tree-Shaped Ornament That I Made in a Workshop
Animatronic Mickey’s Clock Shop
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Tangled Reindeer Which I Customized Myself
Steampunk Snowman Which I Customized Myself
Macy’s Christmas Ornament Featuring a Mickey Mouse Balloon and the World Trade Center
There’s only one other place where I also make a token observation to Christmas besides my living room coffee table. I have a wooden Santa Mickey Mouse puppet that hangs outside throughout the holiday season. That’s my only outdoor decoration I have and it’s one that I previously wrote about back in 2014.
And now, for the first time in this blog, here’s a selfie of me wearing a Santa Mickey hat and a red Christmas sweater posting next to my Santa Mickey puppet.
For added measure, here’s another selfie.
This morning I went to church (Christmas fell on a Sunday this year) then I went to a local Chinese restaurant where I ate lunch at its usual special-priced weekend buffet. Here is what I got in my fortune cookie: A message that said “You will pass a difficult test that will make you happier.”
Hmmmm. I’ll see about that. It would be cool if that fortune came true because I can use some happy times right about now.
