There's No Place Like Home

Once again this year, our Christmas window was inspired with our December charity in mind.  The idea was based on the Habitat vision of a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.
  
This year, we wanted to keep it Swedish simple.  After painting the back wall a beautiful shade of pale gray, and building the house framing with 2 x 4's, the outside was lit. Then the kid's Christmas decorating began.  As one of the children hangs the lights, the other gets ready to place the gold star atop the tree. Soon after, the snow began to fall and Christmas was complete.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful life if this were the way everyone experienced the holiday.
