And of course the mantle/fireplace area. A lot of these things are vintage and we have had since I was much younger.

There are Eagle Dancer Kachinas at the top. #Christmas

Green and gold with little red Santas (and 4 Krampus ornaments) on the main tree and the little fake tree in the dining room has a kachina/Native American theme. #Christmas

We have color-change lights on the tree.

Got the Christmas tree decorated today. Ready to watch my favorite holiday films, crank up the music, and go to my happy place. #Christmas

Now check out this Broadway level chorus. You can just hear them singing, can't you? And the jazz hands. So many jazz hands! Same company made both styles and they still produce this style.

More samples. Notice the more naturalistic gestures?

Although Joseph and Mary still kind of look like they're surprised by what the Stork brought.

A couple of samples of this style. The company is Fontanini, but they also go under Mod Depose, and they don't make this style anymore...and apparently they made this style for a brief time.

All five, including the one I'm so discontented about.

My September Sunset exercises. There are five, but one of them I'm definitely not happy with and may paint over. #CoSoArtist #CoSoArt

I finished reading this last night and am now going back through it to write down the novels I want to read.
