Your Christmas photos brought me right back to my childhood Christmases enhanced by the Moravian traditions firmly interwoven into my hometown's festivities.<br />Even now my home is full of Moravian Yuletide decor complete with Advent star hanging from my front porch and love feast candles scattered throughout the house and tin ornaments from the single brother's house tin shop on my tree.<br />Thanks for the tour~Merry Christmas<br />The TexastarheelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888768289185209536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-64474740616101803172013-11-29T10:37:34.509-05:002013-11-29T10:37:34.509-05:00Denise her home is just beautiful!

About the only place to find them now is on e-bay. They are some of our favorite lights. Thanks to son-in-law for taking the pictures.

I love them, especially the unique Moravian details. May I ask you a question? I'm so excited to see the big colored lights on the tree! They look like what my family always called "cracked ice" bulbs. Do you know what your parents call them and if they've bought them recently? I've been looking for replacements for my vintage ones from my parents and haven't been able to find them in a number of years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740214255079999093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-54420620234413390012013-11-24T20:50:34.276-05:002013-11-24T20:50:34.276-05:00How very lovely!!!!
