Your angel is just beautiful. I have an angel collection on my mantel in the living room. They are there all the time.

Can’t believe you’ve put up so many trees. I put my living room tree up yesterday and finished the ornaments today. I have to do a little at a time. I have 2 small trees with white lights and little red bows on pedestals on the fireplace in the living room with my little girl (I call her) in her red velvet outfit trimmed in white fur holding a little book in one arm and a candle in her other hand and she is animated.

I haven’t finished decorating but hope I can finish by Tuesday, so I can shop some (if I’m able)....walking too much is hard with the hip thing.

My cousin called from Florida this morning to tell me her son passed away and the funeral was Friday. He was 45. She said he had gotten some kind of infection that entered his blood stream and when it first started as an ailment about 6 months ago, that the doctors didn’t pay enough attention to it and it had become worse until it killed him. I was just stunned by this. Was not able to get it off my mind today.

JC, I am so sorry to hear that your cousin’s son passed away at age 45. I am wondering if it was MRSA. It is such a devastating bacteria - and hard to cure.

I am sending prayers, and sincere condolences for your cousin and her son’s family.

JC, all my trees are 3 or 4 feet - no big one, this year. (And, the best part - no lights to string!~)

I am so sorry to hear about your cousin’s son’s death Jaycee.45 is so young.What a shame that the doctor didn’t catch this soon enough.

Had that happen to a very dear friend of mine too.She got a small scratch that wasn’t cared for. Developed blood poisoning and died.

Prayers for your cousin’s family and you , dear Jaycee!

Saying prayers for your cousin’s family, Jaycee.

This is so sad when someone so young dies unexpectedly. This time of the year makes it that much more difficult.

I've enjoyed reading about your decorating, and a wee bit jealous that you're about finished when I haven't started yet! Our house will be all merry and bright and Christmasy this weekend though. :)

Love and Hugs to you for your post about your cousin's son.
