Our Version of a white Christmas in New Mexico

We do not expect to have a white Christmas in our part of New Mexico, although there are locations in this state that will have snow, so we chose to have a white tree.

We decorated with all blue trimmings in reference to Elvis's song. We'll have a blue, blue Christmas with out you.

This blog post is to show all our friends, family and visitors the many decorations Margaret puts out at Christmas.

Here is the coffee table that is the center piece of our decrations.

These are some of my favorite pieces.  They are little reindeer with Mr. and Mrs. Santa.  There is another larger Santa off to one side that is my favorite of all the Santas we have.  We actually purchased it several years ago at a Cracker Barrel in Arizona during one of our trips across the country.

This is the other end table with a miniature nativity set and some snow men and other pieces on the under shelf of the table.

Here is the larger nativity set.  It is on the top of the China hutch table.  Margaret made both of these out of ceramics.

These two ceramic snow men on top of the China hutch were gifts from friends.

Even the plants, placed near the windows for sun light, are graced with Christmas decorations.

The kitchen table does not get left out.  It's graced with a Santa table cloth, seasonal napkin holder, and a tiny little Mr. and Mrs. Santa.

More decorations on the end of the island kitchen counter.

This snowman cookie jar hangs around on the end of the kitchen counter because sometimes it's full of yummy cookies.

Looking through the window it almost looks like snow, but it's just the sun reflecting off the barren sandy back yard.  There are decorations on the window sill, and a small wreath in the window.

Wreaths and decorations grace the fire place, and Mom's and Dad's stockings (made by Mom) are hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Saint Nicolas soon will be there.

Santa and snowmen can be viewed even while watching television.

We wish that all our friends, family and visitors have a very merry Christmas and a happy peaceful and prosperous New Year.
