I welcome all faiths and choices-- I only get my personal back up when people try to tell me how I ought to live my life.<br /><br />Anyway: I love the symbolism you found about the wreath being the circle of life.<br />As a matter of fact, our marriage contract (which is called a 'ketubah' and is traditionally a beautiful piece of artwork with the contract written in it) is written within a circle... I will take a picture to share it one of these days!<br /><br />Happy Christmas!Dinnerlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692242456211545949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-88065106445009507532010-12-17T05:35:27.834-05:002010-12-17T05:35:27.834-05:00I think your house looks lovely and this was a tru...I think your house looks lovely and this was a truely great post!!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059225189818297139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-25390709846492667462010-12-16T14:18:20.830-05:002010-12-16T14:18:20.830-05:00Great post!

We celebrate Christmas since my husband is not Jewish, and I am not particularly religious (we pretty much skipped Chanukkah, which is a VERY minor holiday by the way, altogether this year) but we don't decorate or anything. We have gone to the same friends' house for Christmas dinner for the last 12 years and I enjoy it every year. So I have really enjoyed seeing inside your world.Stephanie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17389046478307990176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-36668702533539126642010-12-16T02:56:10.646-05:002010-12-16T02:56:10.646-05:00Your decorations are fabulous.

I bought an ornament while we were down in Disney a few weeks ago - but only because it was so close to Christmas that it was on my mind - but now, I am so stealing your tradition of buying ornaments when you travel - what a fantastic idea!!! Thanks for that. I love each of your santas and especially like the flaming head one - I love love love stories like that that linger forever.<br /><br />The rest of the decorations and bits of your house are absolutely beautiful. Thank you again for sharing it with us all!!Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065650807764320970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-21742220010549695002010-12-15T21:44:19.643-05:002010-12-15T21:44:19.643-05:00Wonderful post Sandy.
