Here are a few Christmastime photos.
They remind me of the value of "little things" .
Especially now.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.
Hi,Karen
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas is full of warmth!
How lucky your neighbors are! Every time they walk by your window the lights make their hearts warm.
It has been for a long time to visit you! I had not enough time to sit on my PC.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

We all need to take time to enjoy the little things
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you.
Lovely little things. I love the first photo of your living room and the sun shining in. Also, you're the second blogger I've seen with white and coloured lights on the tree and I like that look! I hope you enjoy more of the little things this week. Blessings, Pamela

Ah, Karen, how I wished you lived close enough for me to taste those shortbread cookies. I have never been very good at making shortbread and I love it!
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks so comfy cozy, Karen. I love the colors on your tree. How pretty that must look as your neighbors go past.
ReplyDeleteWarm Christmas wishes to you.

Dimi..
Your right it's the little things that mean the most! Those mashed potatos look good too!
ReplyDeleteLove the berries and the poinsettias and candy-canes and shortbread cookies... Those all say Christmas to me! We also put our tree in the front room so the lights can be enjoyed by anyone passing by. It is a small way to share the joy with others.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty tree you have! I also have white and coloured lights on my tree. It gives it a nice variety of light, I think. Your photos are simply charming! It is the little things that are important. Thank you for coming by and leaving your nice comment. Wishing you and your loved ones a Very Happy Christmas!
Blessings,

Good Evening Karen, You are right, it is the little things which bring us so much joy. Making gifts for friends, baking for ourselves and also friends, to have a Christmas tree in the window for neighbours to enjoy....and enjoy they will. I love it when I am driving home in the evening and I see houses which are decorated with Christmas lights, it always makes me smile. I also love your quilt....gorgeous. Have a lovely evening, Best Wishes Daphne
