The Rosy Glow by janetb

The Rosy Glow

Big memories of little fingers emerge with this Santa lamp each Christmas. It was my job as a little girl to turn the bulb every evening to light up Santa's nose. My fingers are much bigger now, but they feel little every time I reach for that bulb. My husband has repaired the old, brittle wire many times over the years so that the memories and the rosy glow can live on!

I'm filling in today with this photo, which was actually captured in 2013. I chose this one, because this exact same photo could have been captured again today. My treasured Santa lamp sits on this oak table next to this tall lamp in front of this bright window every Christmas!
What a nice memory and keepsake!

Now, I know Rudolph had a red nose- but what has Santa been doing that caused his?! I hope it's just that he's been out in the cold too long! What a fun memory filled decoration.
