 It's Friday, TGIF!  Tis the season so I was doing some artsy pics with my Christmas decorations.  This is an image of one of my Nutcracker soldiers and a rocking horse.  The horse is one of the very first decorations I ever bought for myself so it is about 40 years old now.  The Christmas tree lights provided some lovely bokeh so perfect for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 It's the last Friday of the year, wow, it flew by.  Because Friday's Are Bokehlicious, I am sharing this photo for today.  Since it is still the season, these are a couple of my Christmas decorations that I have had, almost since I was out on my own more years ago than I would like to think.  😂  They have some lovely bubbly bokeh behind them created by the Christmas tree lights.

 I love Nut Crackers.  I have a few that are larger free standing ones.  These are a trio that were my mom's.  I love the short one with the wild hair.  The tradition of Christmas Nutcrackers started in Europe quite early and came to be more the type we know in the 15th & 16th Century.  In German tradition, they are symbols of good luck and protect the home.  These 3 are on the door side of my tree protecting my house.  😀
