What was I thinking!


I thought I had picked the perfect place to set up my favorite Nativity scene,   boy was I wrong.....what was I thinking! 


Why would I set it up on a table that is used daily!    The first night I had it there,   our daughter stopped by after work and had her Starbucks drink in hand.....and was trying to find a place for it on the table next to where she was sitting on the sofa.


She sat her drink in the little space I had left in front of the Nativity set but had to carefully reach past the Wise Men and donkies each time she wanted a sip!


I have always kept my side tables pretty much clutter free,     so why would I think Christmas would be any different.    Much better,   now there's room for a drink,  snack,  purse,  cell phone....all the things we ladies travel with  


While I was at it,   I completely rethought that whole corner. 
   I had bought a couple of thin pink Christmas tree's for the family room with literally no place under them for gifts....again....what was I thinking?    Now I have a nice area to put the Christmas presents!


 

So   where is the Nativity going? 
   Well.....   I cleaned out the lit cabinet in the family room and have plans to put it there....along with some of my other ever growing collection of Nativities


I also decided that I didn't like the white on white look of my Nativity set when I had it on the side table....so,   stay tuned for a new look for it.
 

I don't think you guys have ever seen the lit cabinet completely empty.....it reflects the whole room!    I can't wait to set up my Nativity collection in it!!!

  2. You are always so busy decorating your large spaces. Yes, we tend to forget HOW we use a room in the holidays---a good reminder...function has to be first! Grins, Sandi
