We have had this manger for many years! It was built by our next door neighbor in San Diego. At that time the local grocery store had a new figure every week, and as you can tell, I got them.
We see lots of different versions of these reindeer in our neighborhood, and it's fun to see them on our walks.
Here in Washington it gets dark pretty early this time of year, so it's nice to have lights on the trees in our yard.
Guess what I've been doing lately? I love to take cookies to our neighbors, and this year made 4 different batches as well as one of cupcakes. These are meringue cookies, one of my favorite recipes.
~~~ Merry Christmas!
