Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.I showed this post last year about this time, but since I cannot improve it, I've decided to share it again. I hope you don't mind.
Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and wishing them a Happy Blue Monday! I love to see the many ways Blogland shows their blues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I began collecting nativities some years ago. The ones I'm sharing today all contain our celebrated color Blue! This is a music box that I bought after Christmas a couple of years ago. I find that's the best time to shop for Christmas goodies. See the Blue blanket?
Here's my Blogger's Cookie Jar. As everyone knows, bloggers ❤ roosters, and this cookie jar has a rooster on the roof! This is the ONLY rooster in my home--that means that I am BARELY a blogger!
My daughter thinks it's ugly and that I should toss it. Of course, I disagree; what do you think?
Several characters are dressed in Blue, and even the walls of the stable contain Blue!
My mother's favorite color was Blue, and she made this ceramic set for me in 1972. She's been gone for quite some time, and therefore, this set becomes more precious each year. It has been broken and badly repaired several times (by me). I know that it's no longer perfect, but I cannot bear to throw it out. It was made and given with love.
Don't look outside or you'll be Christmas green with jealousy at my Florida climate and gorgeous palm!
Here's a whimsical teddy bear nativity scene with plenty of Blue. I've had it for several years.
I did not even know what a cloche was until I began blogging, but now I love to display things in mine. This nativity scene has Blue on Mary and Jesus.
You can get a better view with the cloche removed.
and I wish you and yours
a Blessed Christmas!

Hi Sally!
LOVE all your nativity collection! So beautiful for the holidays!!! :)

Hugs

Happy holidays Sally
Very cute christmas decors .. Merry christmas =.
Love the Nativity scene the most. Reminds us of what Christmas is really all about. :)
Good morning Sally, I'm up early today so I thought I would get a good start before my day gets busy. First I love your humor in your post today. It means you must really be feeling better. I pray that I am right.
You know I love the nativities you shared today. I love the rooster and I am so glad it qualifies you as a blogger, even if it is barely. We always called a cloche a dome. Cloche was a new one for me too. The nativity in the cloche is so sweet. The nativity your mother made is a keeper for sure, even if it has a few boo boos. Keep them all, Smile.
Blessings and love to you and yours this Christmas and throughout the New Year my dear blogging friend.

If I had money I would collect nativity scenes. I love these. So beautiful.
Your nativity scenes are charming, Sally! Hope you have a lovely holiday --
The cartoon made my day. Thanks!
Sally your Nativity sets are beautiful. I love them all. You are one sweet blue lady! Enjoy the week! Hugs Anne
This is one blogger who doesn't ♥ roosters. :-) I love the Nativity your mom made, both for its sentimental value and because it's pretty.
Hi, Sally!
So, even Teddy Bears "go Nativity"...
The skinny snowmodel cracks me up!...:)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Sally. I know this must be a very special one for you and yours!
Hi Sally, It wouldn't be Christmas without a nativity ...I also included mine in my post today.

'Tis a Blue Monday, the decorations warm my heart and the comic made me chuckle! :=) Merry Christmas!
Hi Sally, You have a wonderful collection of nativities. My sister collects them also. I have three (had four, but my youngest son got married in August and I gave him one he has sent me from Italy). I love the funny snowman joke. Hope you have a very wonderfully 'Blue' (not sad) Christmas!

I love this post. I don't get around much anymore but I had to come by and wish you a Merry Christmas. I never forget you--never! I am thankful that you got me started in book reviewing. You are a special person. God bless you as live for Him.
Hi Sally... a wonderful collection, and each one special.
Have a Blessed Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus... the reason for the day, the season, and the chief end of man... to bring Him glory and enjoy Him forever!
