The Touch of Christmas

Hello dear friends. . .I am happy to greet you today.

I hope you are well, and December is being kind to you.

It is a busy time of year. . we often have to stop and remind ourselves

There is a reason we are Celebrating this month.

I try to stay focused and not let things get in my way.

I have really pared down my decorating.

It takes so much time and work.

And I tell myself. . "What goes up must come down."

My decorating may seem very small and simple compared to others.

But, who is comparing?  I just do what I like and leave it at that.

I sized down several years ago. I now live in a condo.

And I love it.  I don't have the room for a large tree.

So my little tree on the console table is just perfect for me.

(as you can see little Teddy is on neighborhood patrol)

This little shelf is so fun to decorate.  I am always changing it out.

And Christmas time is the perfect time to showcase the shelf.

I love it.. . Can you see my cute little birds. 

 I swear I can hear them singing!

And the beautiful wreath my Friend's daughter made for me 

Is such a beautiful touch to the wall.

I made the crocheted afghan that is on the couch.  

And the other little throw is a simple fleece that I made.

Teddy and Cash have taken it over.

I really love the scene. . I feel it is simple but beautiful.

I have told you many time, I am a Home Body. .

I love being home.

Of course Christmas time there is no place like home.

I love the evenings when the lights are shining on the tree.

And the glow in the room is so warm, and serene.

Many times, I turn on Christmas music and just listen,

And enjoy the ambiance of my Christmas decorated rooms.

It truly is a magical time of year.

Hugs, to all,
