CHRISTMAS JOY
Christmas is my favorite time of year, the merriest of holidays. Our home was full of music and laughter, and now that everyone has gone home I now have time to look at my photographs and cherish the memories we made. It’s time to enjoy the little twinkling lights for a last few evenings before the tree comes down. Here are some of my Christmas decorations. We started late with decorations this year so I kept it simple, adding topiaries, baubles and pillows. Everything will be easy to put away except for our big tree and Jim enjoys doing that. So, turn up the music and get yourself a favorite drink and come for a visit. Warning, a lot of photos!
Family Room
Santa’s elves making merry bringing in the trees for the mantle.
Festive touch for the sofa with pillows.
Living Room
I purchased these Christmas cards while in France, then framed and matted them.
Christmas Fairies
A Christmas cactus several years old, a gift from my sister. A gift that keeps giving me beautiful pink presents at Christmas!
A Nativity set I purchased in Italy for my mother and father-in-law. Since my MIL doesn’t do a lot of decorating now, she has returned all the gifts given to her from family members. I now enjoy displaying the set in my living room.
More seasonal pillows. I love the velvet bows.
Silver tray filled with baubles and silver wire starry string lights.
The Library is where we have our big tree.
Christmas Angels

Pottery is Vietri Rosso Vecchio, stems with candy canes and holly from TJ Max and flatware from Reed and Barton in the Williamsburg pattern (Santa’s early gift to me this year).
