Thank you very much, and, yes, this is my surprise. Last year it was like this:

I didn't have as many candles, no halos, no star and not enough light for my Holy Family.

Thank you! I learn by trial and error. It's better than it was last year.
Our youngest and I went shopping and I bought a little candle and candlestand for the dining room display:

Last Christmas I was work in the office. it seems that i haven't have a good Christmas for about two years because i am always so busy.But I will try to decorate my bedroom with some nice things such as balloon, flowers.. I am so exicted that my sister learnt to make flowers by herself last Christmas Eve.
