On this Christmas Eve 2019, I’ve remembered to take a photo of the Hallmark Advent Tree we have every year, beginning from 1995. We have Cooper’s Santa Paws photo I’m including too.  A warm welcome to new email subscribers! At the end of my post today, I’ve included links to my previous Christmas Eve posts on this day for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Our Hallmark Advent Tree Christmas Eve 2019

Back on my December 1st post on Advent Calendar Envelope Printables, I make a reference to it.

 Do you know how you have a few items that “really make it feel like Christmas” whether you get a tree up or not?   Over the past five years of blogging daily here, I have made references to it from time to time, so I’m finally getting a photo of it – today’s showing how the ornaments came out, they are never the same each year as they are loaded randomly.

Also, it has the distinction of being one of the items we took with us when we mandatory evacuated for 11 days with Hurricane Florence in September 2018.  

Cooper’s Santa Paws photo

My thanks to Pawville Surf City for this Santa Paws photo of Cooper! 

Wishing you a joyous Christmas Eve and see you tomorrow on Christmas Day!

P.S. It is hard to believe it was just six months ago, we were Celebrating presenting Cuddy’s Pawville Quilt today (6-26-2019).
