a vintage statue of Mary, adorned with old rosary beads. next to her a photo of myself as a little girl.. with bits that are part of me: a garnet, some rocks from Cornwall, a hag stone from Gemma a soul sister, a feather gifted me from a magpie. I am sure Mary can go into the past and help to heal traumas and sadness.. nothing is impossible.Our real Christmas tree is up for 2011.. Joe and I spent the afternoon decorating - I leave you with this:
Mary of Our Christmas tree - each year, this decoration sits among the branches - accompanied by birds, santas and various other decorations.I have enjoyed seeking out Mary to share each day - thanks so much for journeying with me.

There's a Virgin and Child on our Solstice tree too -- just cheap plastic but it came from a dear friend so it's very valuable indeed!
They look really snuggled, secure and happy for the festive season, this is what I wish for you!

And I have enjoyed your posts and comments these past 12 days. What a beautiful ornament on your tree and how lovely that you and Joe decorate the tree together. My ex was wonderful getting the tree home and the lights on, but I was the one who loved putting on the ornaments as most of them had (and still have) a story. Have a wonderful Christmas.
That's the kind of Mary statue I grew up with!
It has been such an honor to visit your blog for the past few days. You've helped to make it a remarkable journey! Thank you for sharing your images and stories. I am blessed. Hope we get to do it again next year.
Peace be with you
It is a beautiful madonna and a wonderful decoration of the nativity on your tree. I love your words as well. I have enjoyed meeting you and sharing these past 12 days.
Blessings and Peace,
Noelle
