It was an ordinary day. Packing the last of our Christmas "stuff" in boxes so we can take everything to our crawl space in our new home in Woodcrest Villa. We have been so busy since we moved to Woodcrest that we just haven't had time to finish packing our Christmas ornaments and favorite items and place them in our "crawl space" above our living area. As Carol and I packed all the items I snapped photos of my favorite items so I could look at them anytime I felt like it was time for Christmas once again. Well, today was the final day of packing the boxes in our crawl space until next Christmas. I went through all the photos of my favorite items and decided to let you see what I enjoyed the most about our Christmas ornaments and decorations. Hope you enjoy them and perhaps like a few of them yourself. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy. PS - I should warn you that we have been collecting Christmas "favorites" for over 50+ years of marriage, so the list of photographs that follow is rather lengthy.
