it's all about the hospitable home

T'was The Night Before Christmas

T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (a really good thing)….

I feel like I need to end some of my “Christmas Posts” with something very special to me. As we all settle down for a “long winter’s nap’…We reflect upon what truly means the most to all of us…family. So I wish my family, friends, and all those great “friends” who I have had the greatest pleasure to meet over blogland, the most Merry Christmas. I love you all!

My precious Granddaughter, Graylyn..bidding you “and to all a good night”…

Last year it read, “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”..This year our granddaughter asked why it said Virginia and not Graylyn. I then told her the story of Virginia. My hubby immediately changed the name to Graylyn where it will remain from now on…

A view of my front door…had forgotten to post some of these photos. As the front of my house faces west, it is hard to grab a pic without some shading from the porch. Maybe Santa will bring me a new camera and it will help with that! 🙂

My front door wreaths..lots of floral picks and ribbons.

The sled adorned with one of my favorite ribbons which is a double layered ribbon with poinsettias cut outs.

    The front of your house is beautiful. I love homes that are decorated in classy taste for Christmas.
