Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home! I am so impressed by all of your Christmas decorations! You guys have been busy. We had a record party last week! So many really awesome links! Thank you very much for showing off your home at Home Sweet Home! I loved visiting with you! I am getting the party on a day early this week because I will be away from the computer tomorrow.
Today I'm sharing a vignette with a favorite Christmas story of mine. It was a little story about a family that had their tree picked for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. This was my storybook from childhood, so it is vintage! I dug it out last year and read it to my son who is a real tree lover.
Here are some more of my Christmas stories from the 1970's. My Aunt and I used to get these out every year and re-read them each Christmas. I used to love Christmas so I could read these stories and enjoy the pictures in them.
Christmas is such a special time to share your childhood memories with your children.
Now, I would like to feature some wonderful posts from Home Sweet Home last week.
Katty's Cozy Cove showed off her angels and two variations of angel wings that was awesome! These are handmade of paper. You can even make the feathers out of sheet music. Click the link to view.
Again thank you to all who join me at Home Sweet Home! It is awesome to have you here!

I love the old vintage Chritmas books I have a few myself from when , well guess when my daughter was little back in the late 1960's.
I love seeing your Christmas decor, thanks for sharing and letting us share
I think so many of us grew up with those sweet little Golden Books! I wish I still had mine, but have to settle for finding them in out of the way places. Thanks so much for hosting the party again, Sherry. :-) Christmas hugs to ya! Sue

I just love your little story books! It's so important to read these Christmas stories to our children and grandkids! I think it's cool that you still have your own books from your childhood! Your photos of your sweet little trees and cups, and the tiny church and brush tree made me smile! I hope I can join the parties you host soon, looks like so much fun! I love seeing how everyone decorates! Merry Christmas! Linda
