So our small town has an event each year called Light Up Oxford, where they get the downtown area all lit up for the holidays, the local businesses are open and lots of local folks set up tables to sell goodies. We went and had walking tacos sponsored by the Little league folks. 

There is a photo op stage set and we got all the kids in there.

If only we could get ONE picture where EVERYONE looks good!

Dilly and his Mommy ALWAYS look good!

And Santa came to see the kiddos

And Drew got a hot dog at the fire station. 

The community really steps up and supports all the local businesses this time of year, it's fun to get out-but really cold-and see what's new in our small town.

And we had a nice Birthday celebration for my Mom she turned 90! Here's the big table at Legend's restaurant. 

OK, now I'm almost caught up!!

Wow! The End of the Year is Coming Up FAST!

 A while back I stopped by the Kiwanis Antique show to have a look. 

I'm always on the look out for cool things, plus Christmas is coming! Never know what I'll see! One thing I noticed, EVERYONE has some Pyrex/Fireking glass to sell.

There could be a whole booth of junk and they still have a Pyrex bowl or pan there too. It must be the trend right now.

I saw a couple of Jadeite pieces, but too much!!!!

I came home with a few ornaments and a cute pair of tiny scissors. 

It's also time to get the Christmas décor out! 

My total fave, the ceramic Christmas tree, plus the tiny porcelain nativity. 

I am using a new to us tree this year. It's a 9 footer with an adapter to make it a 6 1/2 footer, which is a really good thing because a 9 footer isn't fitting here!

I just got out he 3 piece nativity this year.  Mary & Joseph are enjoying the light of the Scentsy warmer! 

Santa is making his appearance this year on the desk instead of the fireplace.

And those ornaments I bought are here too!

The tee is a little bare on the lower level-what's known as tail height around here. A dogs tail can fling an ornament like a shot across the room!

I'm not too sure about this tree-it's one I got used from a gal that was moving and it has good looking branches, but they are really hard to get spread out.

I used a lot of the vintage ornaments this year. There are more, but I got tired of hanging them!

And I got some new tiny multicolor lights. 

Just a few of the vintage ornaments. 

I just love them all. 

Here's one I just got last week!

Well we're all set with the festive decor, and Santa is tied down on the front step too! We had some high winds the other day, so I decided to keep him in place with an extra safety tie!

Late addition!! Look at this adorable sparkley tree collar!

I ordered it from Amazon and I love it! It looks fabulous! 

With Dogs and Bob shedding and swooshing paws and tails, I didn't want a tree skirt, but I sure needed something. And then I saw tree collars! Who knew there was such a thing! It just came today and I'm so glad it did!
