January 13th already!  
Happy New Year to all my Blogpals in Bloglandia

Christmas was so nice. The decorations were up....opening ornaments is like seeing old friends.............

1940's aluminum reflector tree topper


Jim's Grandma's vintage Viking Glass filled with some of my Grandma's  vintage glass balls and beads

1950-60 glass ball with Winter Covered Bridge scene


1950-60 glass ball with Santa and Toys motif



1940's plastic ornament. It has an aluminum propeller with open top and bottom. 
When close to light the heat makes the propeller spin.

Christmas Day we hit the road to family members houses, but first we open presents..........................

Shadow opens his stocking and his Kittencaboodle does too.


Leo eyes the gift before the rest attack..... 



After everything is opened everyone needs a catnap.

Week between Christmas and New Years we visit our fav  holiday places.........................................


Cincinnati Zoo - Festival of Lights 2009
Cincinnati Zoo Festival of lights

Taft Museum Christmas of the Past

Entertrainment with it's various train  set ups with miles of track.

and, then to Krohn Conservatory for it's holiday flower display. We especially love the huge revolving cityscape with it's own trains. Cincinnati was a large train hub til the 70's.
Now the Holidays are over. All the decorations are once again stored. It's time to bundle up snug and hibernate till Spring. Ha.....there's lots of things to do to brighten the winter days.............................
