“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.”–Laura Ingalls Wilder
Although I had no time to explore the world with my camera this week, I still wanted to share some Monday photos with you. Today, please enjoy this little tour of some of my favorite holiday decorations. Each item below brings joy and warmth to our family and has its own unique history. I hope these photos bring a smile to your face.
Thank you for following my journey this year and supporting me as I grow as a writer, poet, and photographer. I’m grateful for this space to explore my creativity and share my life.
Happy holidays!

If each of those decorations could talk….the stories they would tell! I have a very similar angel on my tree…..Christmas isn’t the same without her 💞💞💞
So true! I’m very sentimental and hold onto things for a very long time. I love opening my decoration boxes-it’s like waking up old friends. ❤️
Agreed! 💝
Lovely and magical photos!

Beautiful festive photos, Bridgette. You are as good as a photographer as you are a writer. These are excellent. My favourite photo is the one of the two mice – so cute. I wish you a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year. Love to you and your family Xx ☃💝🎄❄💖
You are so sweet! Thank you, Ellie! Those mice were a gift from my mother a few years ago and I adore them. I hope your holidays are filled with moments of peace and joy. Sending you and your family lots of love. 🙂
May they continue to bring lots of joy and happiness. They are a fun group.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Lively photos of the season. I especially loved the knitted poinsettia. Happy Holidays to you, too, Bridgette 🙂
Thank you! My great grandmother made the knitted poinsettia and it made its way to me after she passed in 2020. It’s one of my new favorite things.
So sorry to hear that you’ve lost your grandmother. I love the little ways that you keep her close to your heart <3
