Change, it's everywhere.

Mom and Dad have been busy lately getting the house all decorated for Christmas and along our fireplace is an army of Nutcracker Soldiers, and all of them belong to me hah

I've always had a fascination with them, and since that was brought to my parents attention, every year for Christmas I have received one as a gift and next thing you know I have enough to decorate my own place, whenever it is I get my own place ;) Dear Santa?

Yes, the one on the far right is a mouse standing on a piece of cheese, the possibilities are endless for how these can look.

However with all the newer looking decorations we have now, I cannot help but think of our old tacky ones that we used to have. Paper streamers, a paper bell, cardboard Santa and Reindeer flying across our living room wall and of course my favorite, colored tin foil that covered random bricks on our fire place.

When you walked into our home in those days, you left Sackville and entered Christmas Land. I miss it a lot. When you can't change something though, you need to learn to accept the new and find the good in it, which I have done. Although our holiday decorations don't scream 1970's, I think they wouldn't fit the way our house is designed now, and would be almost like watching a hockey game try to take place on a football field, it just would not work.

The memories of the old will never die, and there are new ones to be had, that's one of the many beautiful things about life. As long as I get to watch Garfields Christmas Special and Charlie Brown, then it's going to be a Merry Christmas :D

More on Christmas when it actually gets close to it.

Until next time, Keep it Rockin ;)
