Hey!

I came by ealier and saw this roll up so here I am again! LOL!

I love your pretty angel. She is lovely. And I enjoyed hearing your family tradition of going to midnight mass in your jammies. I can see all of you sweet, giggly children running with excitement! That's the way Christmas should be.

Happy Pink Saturday to you...

XO,

Oh Blondie!
The porcelain pink angel is oh so sweet.
I think it may be from the same Christmas design as a little church I have...you can put a little tea candle in my church. What a cute story about you going to church in your pjs under your coats...classic!
XXOOOXX
I know your home must be filled with Christmas magic!

I do like her, your angel, she seems to be enveloping the scene before her...holding it securely, treasuring the moment...

Just as it appears we all do with family and friends.

I am delighted you are sounding well and are on track for a truly joyous Christmas!

Blogger Auntie sezzzzzz... said...

What a sweet Christmas memory. :-)

And what a precious pink angel.

As to taking night pictures, just keep trying. No need for flash. I've read someone say... NEVER use flash, under any circumstances, and I agree.

Use of flash makes pictures look too white-ish and bright and flat-ish. If you need "light," turn on all your lights, or open a window to sunlight. But don't flash. :-)

For your angel, light those little tea candles at night and snap, snap, snap away. I'm sure you'll get some lovely photos.

I was just reading Catherine's blog, and she takes exquisite night photos, with candle light. So I thought I'd simply leave a click-able link here, and you can pop over there and see what I'm trying to tell you about. Seeing her lovely photos will say it, so much better than my trying to 'say' it.

Hugs from your 'Auntie'...

Merry Christmas, Jane.. love the vision of you seven in your PJ's at midnight mass, and remembering the excitement of those silent nights under the covers TRYING to sleep.. or hear sleigh bells..

Blogger Kathy said...

She's a beauty, Janie! I love angels - I used to collect them. But then there are only so many places you can display an angel before it starts to look a little creepy! One day my mother came over and as soon as she walked in the door she said - 'ok, you have enough angels'. So that ended my collecting unless I see a really special one. And yours is really special!


Have a wonderful weekend and a blessed Christmas...Kathy

Hi Jane,
I can't believe it's been a week already! Last Saturday we were eating at Fried Green Tomatoes and having a good ole time! Your angel is so pretty and delicate, I love the soft pink colors! We used to go to Midnight Mass too and then go home and hardly stand the wait for Santa to show up. I used to get up 3 or 4 times a night hoping to catch a glimpse! My Mom and Dad would always shoo me back to bed until about 5:00 a.m. and then just give up! Missing you and wishin you and Alan and family a wonderful Christmas! Hugs, Cindy

Your pink angel is so beautiful!

We always went to midnight Mass and still do --I love the music and the laying of baby Jesus in the manger in the Church's nativity set as everyone sang Silent Night. My parents would allow us to open a few presents after Mass before we went to bed ..they were the presents that they gave us. In the morning Santa's presents would be under the tree! I kept the same tradition for my children when they were growing up. It always seemed to make Christmas so special.

A very Merry Christmas!

A gorgeous angel. love the soft colors.

We used to go to Midnight Mass as a tradition as well. The candlelight was always so magical at midnight. Now that my dad is a Senior he wants to go to an earlier Mass. So we all go to the 4:00 Family Mass. Not quite the same but at least we're all together.

Have a wonderful holiday.
