Christmas 2010

Here are a few photographs of Christmas decorations from my house and of Christmas day at my mother's house with my family. I enjoy all the symbolism and meaning of each decoration. I feel like my entire house is dressed up to celebrate the birth of Christ. I start putting things up the day after Thanksgiving and sadly take it all down on the Epiphany which is Jan. 6, the 12th and last day of Christmas. Sometimes I wish I could leave it up all year long, but I guess it wouldn't be as special.
