Joyful Santa

When I walked into church this last Sunday Joan stopped me and said, "This is your day!" Sure enough it was the 3rd Sunday in Advent....and the theme was JOY!

Another favorite decoration is this very joyful Santa Paul gave me years ago. It looks like he's shouting for joy and is right at home on a shelf in my living room with my "Surprised by JOY!" And... Lynn's colorful zentangle watercolor makes a festive backdrop!

I just got a special ornament from my friend Rosy who visited me this summer from Wisconsin. Maine and Wisconsin are linked by the ribbon....so clever and so sweet! It looks great on the tree.  Thanks Rosy!
