My Home Goods Run for Christmas Decor

By Cyndi – Posted on

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Is At Home Goods

Most people do Target runs. I’m doing Home Goods runs!

With Christmas around the corner I’m doing weekly Home Good visits. I love my Home Goods. They have everything imaginable from Spring to Christmas. Besides, it’s close to my house and even though it’s super crowded every time I go there I love being in the midst of the holiday shoppers.

One of the things that bring me joy shopping at Home Goods is seeing the wonderful items in shoppers’ carts. Some of the Christmas shoppers share the same taste. If I’m seeing red and gold items anywhere near their carts I’m grabbing what they’re buying!

My Home Goods Run for Christmas Decor

Last Tuesday, (October 14th, 2025) I went to Home Goods and found that they had already started to put out a ton of their bright and whimsical Christmas decorations. There were boxes everywhere. Boxes loaded with Christmas items for all of us Christmas shoppers were in every aisle. Talk about unique items, I was like wow. Such beautiful things. 

You know I got super excited seeing the sensational Christmas decor. Even though they had their shelves stocked to the brim and spilling over with Christmas, they still had more to put out. So much more. Of course I’m going back as soon as I can like tomorrow!!!!

The thing that I love about this special store is the quality of their items and their amazing prices.

There was one item though that caught my attention from afar was a bright red table runner.

My goodness it was lovely. It had gold glitter shining up and down the runner. Guess what? To my surprise there was a gingerbread man on each end of the runner. I cannot believe that I didn’t purchase that gorgeous table runner. I’m sure it’s gone. There were only two. I sure hope that I don’t regret getting it when it’s time for Christmas dinner. I think I may be able to find it again if home goods doesn’t restock it. It’s a one-of-a-kind kind of item so I’m not sure if home goods will stock more. I’ll certainly go back though and hope I can find it.

My Home Goods Run for Christmas Decor

If you’re looking for tabletop Christmas trees, Nativity Scenes, Angels, lights or sweet treats, Home Goods has it all for you.

If there’s a Home Goods near you run as fast as you can to see their Christmas decorations. You won’t be disappointed I promise you that.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas

Christmas 2025 is going to be spectacular. I can feel it.

And what better way to celebrate the season than with family, dear friends and song.

Christmas is such a joyful holiday that comes into our hearts warming our homes throughout the holiday season.

Each and every year I go all out decorating my home for Christmas.

My Christmas decorations are as pretty as Princess Grace.

The reason that I decorate my home from my living and all the way into my kitchen is simple; I love how they make my home look.

I especially love how my Christmas decorations make me feel, which is emotional, cozy and comfy. And when my home illumines with my white Christmas lights, it seems like the lights flow well into the moonlit sky.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Prosperity To All

What makes a Merry Christmas and this sensational holiday happy?

For me it’s my family and home. It’s also the emotion that blankets me from the crown of my head to the souls of my feet.

The warmth that overtakes me like a whirlwind is the same feeling that I have felt since I was a child. This amazing sensation has always been a major and profound part of my life for as long as I can remember. I truly love the remarkable feeling of the holiday season.

This time of year gives me so much hope, joy and peace. Having this kind of love and joy is truly beautiful and it is, at least for me and my loved one, the meaning of good cheer.

Enjoying this kind of wealth and prosperity are the riches that delivers an abundance of happiness into my life every year every Christmas.

Holidays Are Happy When Christmas Is Merry

When I hear the words Merry Christmas I also hear Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and one more song that literally melts my heart and that song is O Holy Night.

These songs put me in a deeper Christmas mood and I just enjoy listening to them all season long and beyond.

When I turn my home into a winter-wonderland my son smiles because he  knows how happy celebrating Christmas makes me and besides he loves it too!

As October draws near I’ll be listening to some of the greatest Christmas classics from some of the best recording artists ever. Holiday traditions will be celebrated once again this year with gratefulness, compassion and good cheer.

The Christmas Season and Happy Holidays Are Coming Soon

Christmas lights, will once again, create a warm atmosphere along with red and gold Christmas ornaments. I’m looking forward to seeing them brighten the corner space in my living room. Happy faces will grace this place.

Gold reindeer will be a centerpiece under my sofa table to add a bit of sparkling glitter.

A beautiful brown wooden tray will adorn my coffee table this Christmas. On this lovely brown tray I’ll add my red Christmas hurricanes as well and of course I can’t forget to add my special baked treats. Brownies will be the main attraction and who doesn’t love a rich dark chocolate brownie. I may have to go and bake some at this very moment!

What about you? How will you make your Christmas merry and your holiday happy this year? I’m sure you have your Christmas list for the most wonderful time of the year.

It’s never too early to prepare for Christmas is it?

It’s a holly jolly feeling that makes me sing merry and bright and may your Christmas be bright.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! 

Sincerely, Cyn

Why You Should Prepare for Christmas Now

By Cyndi – Posted on

Why now is a great time to Get A Jumpstart On Your Christmas shopping, decorating and baking 

Why preparing early for Christmas makes sense.

Why preparing early for Christmas just makes sense.

Let’s talk about why you should prepare for Christmas now.

Today is August 5, 2025 and I feel like this is the perfect time to plan for Christmas. Why? Because we have so much to do and we want to be ready when the holiday season comes.

For those of you who love Christmas, you know how quickly it comes and goes which why I am suggesting that you get an early jumpstart to the holiday season now.

It’s all about enjoying Christmas as long as possible. If I could, I’d starting decorating my home August 1st, but that is a bit early and besides, Summer has her place in my heart and I want to relax until Autumn arrives. 

When July rolls around, I have to admit that I begin thinking about Christmas especially when QVC showcases Christmas in July. Although I like to shop their sales I must say that have enough Christmas decorations to last a lifetime.

Last year I bought a few pieces from my girl Val when. she introduced her new lines of Christmas products. I purchase a few burgundy Christmas hurricanes. They are beautiful. 

And now let’s get to the fun stuff!

How can we prepare early for the holidays and have ourselves a merry little Christmas?

I’ll start by saying we need to have a conversation about the most wonderful time of the year. 

First, get out your pen, paper or pad. 

We are going to pen our plans for the holiday season. When we write down our to do list for Christmas we can use this list as a point of reference if we need to. For me, everything is already stored in my heart for all the things I must do for the holidays.

Let’s call it Our 2025 Christmas Love List. This is going to help us to get things done in a timely fashion way before the holiday season arrives. 

Secondly, we should think about how we want to decorate our home for the Christmas 2025 season. Do you have any thoughts regarding how you want your home to look for Christmas? Do you see visions of bright colorful lights and red ornaments? Are you thinking of a Christmas theme this year?

Preparing for The Holidays Early Gives Us Time To Relax and Enjoy The Season More

Starting with the windows in your home, how do you want to decorate them? The possibilities are amazing and endless. Use your creativity to design wonder and splendor this Christmas if that is the look you are going for? Do you plan on using multi colored or white lights? Do you have to buy new ones or do you plan on using your existing lights?

Be sure to test all of the lights you plan to use to make sure they work.check whatever Christmas lights you I suggest testing them now because you may need to buy new ones. I recently found a pack of multi colored lights in my attic and they work. I’ll place those around my home in a space that needs them. I think every space in a home needs to be colored in Christmas. I say this because I love this holiday abundantly. 

Now that you’ve done this let’s think about your Christmas tree. Do you plan on buying a new true tree or will you use the one that you have? If not may I make suggestion?

Two years ago I decided I wanted a flocked tree. I searched unto I found King of Christmas? They have a nice selection of artificial trees. They are beautiful trees and some of them look like the real thing and they are easy to maintain. 

And what about bulbs, baubles or Christmas ornament; do you have enough to give your tree that wow factor. If you need more ornaments I recommend checking out Hobby Lobby. They have a large variety of Christmas tree bulbs in every color you can imagine as well as holiday treasures and trinkets that you can hang on your Christmas tree. 

Your Christmas List Should Be Filled with Creativity, Design and Love

Next on our list would be outdoor Christmas decorations. Do you have inflatables that you plan on putting outside. Be sure to check those as well to make sure that they can still be used. 

Onto dinnerware sets, tablecloths and napkins. I always purchase these items new every year because I want them to be new, fresh and clean. 

If you need to buy any of these paper clothes get them right now. This way you’ll have them in hand all season long. I buy my paper hand towels from Home Goods. They carry a lovely selection of Christmas paper goods including guest hand towels. Keep these fully stocked so that when guests arrive you always have plenty on hand. I always purchase white ones with gold Christmas decorations on them. They look beautiful in my gold tray in my kitchen and bathrooms.  

And let’s not forget to check your inventory for serveware and other serving dishes for the holidays. You’ll also want to keep your Christmas plates, muffin pans, baking sheets, cake pans, parchment paper, foil, cling wrap and cookie sheets near as well. Store these items in or near your kitchen for easy access throughout the joyful holiday season.

If you have a storage bin you can place anything that can be stored in them for safe keeping and quick access. 

Preparing early for the christmas season will give you more time to share with your family and friends

What about candles? Do you use them throughout your home during the holidays? Home Goods has the largest selection of candles I have ever seen. They are reasonably prices, look beautiful and smell amazing.

How about we get you ready to relax and enjoy the holiday season. You have a ton of things to do and that is why I am suggesting that you get a head start to the Christmas season now.

Embrace all of the things that you have to do knowing that it is for a great purpose. Experience the love and joy of the holidays when you begin to piece it altogether early and when the Christmas season arrives you and your family can relax and see the splendor that you designed from your heart for you and your family.

Remember, the number one focus and goal is you. You deserve to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest and preparing now will help you to ho ho ho into the Christmas season with ease, joy and relaxation. 

Merry Christmas,

Cyn

Have a Joyful Christmas Season

By Cyndi – Posted on

embrace the Spirit of Christmas with All Your Heart

Fall in love with Christmas again and again.

There will always be joyful moments when you believe in the Spirit Christmas. Fully embracing the holiday season delivers an abundance of love, peace and joy.

Let’s have a sincere conversation about Christmas and its wonder.

July will soon be days of the past. Days that came so quickly and departed before evening, you will say so long July and welcome in the hot days of August. 

August will most likely make its way onto our daily list of all the things we must do to prepare for the next holiday which is Labor Day in September.

Meanwhile, families will be getting ready for school to start.  The Jersey shore, often homes to thousands of people for a brief moment of time, will be a reflection of memories made. 

And then thoughts of the holiday season will come to clothe us with elation and we smile. 

We will see visions of families gathering, sharing meals and enjoying the holiday season. 

Extending your heart as you open your hands, you give.  

Giving is an everyday occurrence for all of us.

Sharing all of the abundance that we have makes the holiday season a special time that we look forward to year after year. 

True and sincere words are spoken to the hearts of those whose lives are in our presence throughout this joyous time. 

Embracing the miracles that come to blanket our hearts and homes we give thanks for being granted our heart’s desire.

We also give thanks for the wonderful abundant blessings that we experience all year long. 

And now  champagne Christmas opens the door to the Douglas fir tree to come in to adorn our homes in splendor. A fully bloomed Christmas tree whose thirst must be quenched from the moment it brings in wonder.

With intentions of decorating this beautiful baby from top to bottom with white lights it will bring in warmth, smiles and hope. A hope for a promising new way of thinking that takes us to a place of new beginnings; our hearts.

Gifts wrapped, Christmas songs sang and delicious food to warm our souls are some of the traditions to be shared.. 

Hope-filled, the renewing of the mind delivers joy that radiates through the windows of homes.

Stars and glow from the moon and expressions that light up every Christmas tree ornament will be felt and all shall be illuminated.  

Stories will be written and peace will never leave. 

This new life has all the splendor and joy that helps to define the meaning of believing.

Believing in the miracles and the amazing moments that we share with family, friends and those close to us.

May all the days of the holiday season be the way you see and how you live and enjoy it.

In conclusion, enjoy the holiday season and embrace the joy.

Merry Christmas to all.

My Home Is Alive On Christmas Eve

By Cyndi – Posted on

My Heart Beats with Christmas Tradition, Spirit and Peace

The Spirit of Christmas came to visit my home and decided to stay.

Whenever I hear the first sounds of Christmas I smile. I am smiling knowing my heart will be filled with more love than the days before. 

Radiance fills my heart and I illuminate like lights on a tree. 

Ornaments of grace and a crown of glory brighten my home. I am forever gifted with treasures and trinkets. 

In my living room there are two subtly scented candles. Sweet gingerbread and decadent apple cinnamon. They lend light along with a touch of elegance when evening falls and light and lamps have been dimmed. 

And as I feel the embers and see the glow from the fireplace and how it glows in every space in my place, I am still smiling.

I have always believed my home is like nature. It is peaceful and overflowing with calm. It is a place for all who enter to relax and dream. 

The Spirit of Christmas Surrounds my home day and night and This story tells a tale all about the beauty of the christmas season and how it makes me feel loved

As I am entering into more of the same Christmas meets me so that I receive more love. I will welcome it and I shall embrace it. The feeling is like a fleece-lined comforter that comes to bring me comfort and joy just like Santa when he comes to deliver Christmas presents for girls and boys. 

And now as I make my way into my beautifully decorated breathtaking dining room I invite family and friends to gather and glow. Right here we will converse, talk Christmas and of speak of love. 

There will be plenty of champagne. We shall toast the evening. 

Our dinner will be the most delicious fare where recipes will be shared and thoughts of guests will be given. 

When dinner has been served and dessert enjoyed and loved to the fullest we will enter into the living room to exchange handcrafted Christmas cards and LV gifts.  Every card will contain heart written messages of Christmas joy. 

Gifts will be both large and small to suite each guest to the tee. And yes, we will sip on tea. We will share Christmas stories from years past and create new memories that will forever last. 

I Give a Toast To  The Spirit of Christmas that forever shall reign in my heart

And now on this Christmas Eve we will share all of our good nights with kisses and hugs oh so tight. 

The festivities have been blessed and the celebration as amazing as my guests. 

All of my candles have melted down.  My eyes will now close and my body must rest as I give peace to my mind graciously flowing from the north south east and west. 

Good night to all and to all bright lights.

The Spirit of Christmas came to visit my home and I am forever thankful for friends who came to roam.

A champagne Christmas gives a toast to Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas everyone,

There’s a Feeling of Christmas Everywhere

By Cyndi – Posted on

Christmas Is The Holiday That Sings To My Spirit

There's a Feeling of Christmas Everywhere

 

There’s a feeling of Christmas everywhere.

This phenomenal feeling is in my heart, blanketing my spirit and warming my soul.

I am over the moon just thinking about the upcoming holiday season. 

Hearts come together and loving warmth takes over.

The other day I began thinking about Christmas. Christmas is always on my mind. There was a slight jolt in my spirit and I jumped into the car and drove to Hobby Lobby. I had a feeling that they were stocking their shelves for Christmas.

When I got there all I could see was shelves were overflowing with autumn decor. I think it’s okay to say or even believe that their shelves will be full of Christmas soon. 

I’m going back there today (Monday, June 16, 2025) to see what they have on display for the most wonderful time of the year. 

I received an email over the weekend from Michael’s craft store that they are putting out their Christmas decorations this week. I’ll head there today as well to see what beauties they will be displaying for the holiday season. To say I am excited is an understatement.

The Christmas Season Is Beautiful, Warm and Wonderful

For me, there are so many things that make Christmas special. Even visiting the craft store, Home Goods and other home stores make me happy. I am not hard to please. Give me Christmas and you’ve given me the world. What can I say. I truly adore Christmas.

The decorations alone make spirits bright. The wonderful Christmas color palettes that illuminate our homes and songs that sing to our heart are amazing as well. 

And then there’s that cozy feeling that we all know so well and welcome with open arms that always shows up during the holidays while lovingly spreading good cheer everywhere we go. 

We can’t forget about the winter weather. Winter and Christmas go hand in hand. It’s the cold here up north that does it for me. 

Christmas Calls and Snowflakes Gently Fall 

I absolutely adore the cold and snowy conditions that always seem to show up when Christmas comes. 

Winter wonderlands make Christmas even more special every time I see a snowflake or two that sometimes turns into a real heavy snowfall. It’s awesome what those delicate beautifully designed snowflakes can do when they all fall to earth together. 

Looking forward to the 2025 holiday season I am preparing my home, once again, to receive love, joy and an abundance of good cheer followed by peace. 

As the Christmas season approaches I will be ready. Every year I look forward to preparing my home for this sensational season filled with love. 

I’ll slowly decorate every inch of my home with all of my beautiful Christmas decorations. My theme this year will be red and gold or perhaps silver and icy blue. Whatever colors I decide to use I will make it all come together like a picture on the front cover of a magazine. 

Christmas is such an amazing time of year. It fills every room and inch of my home and I love it. I look forward to enjoying the splendor and wonder of the season. 

This year I’m going to write a few Christmas songs and sing them to my family. I want to make sure each and every Christmas is special because I love my family and I love Christmas. Creating these These memories that can never be forgotten is extremely important to me.

What Christmas will you be creating this year that your family will cherish and never forget?

Merry Christmas everybody,

Sincerely,

Cyndi

How I Welcomed the Holiday Season into my Home

Welcoming New Christmas Holiday Traditions

Welcoming New Christmas Holiday Traditions for 2025 and beyond.

Christmas 2024 was very special to me. All of my Christmases are dear to my heart.

Last year I started a new Christmas tradition and I am happy that I did. You see, Christmas comes around quickly and I want to enjoy every second leading up to the most wonderful time of the year.

So when the Spirit of Christmas spoke to my heart I leaped for joy and began decorating my home in October.

Instead of waiting until November 1st to decorate my home for the holiday season, I got started super early. I was so excited to get the Christmas festivities underway I began decorating October 1st. Yes, I sure did. Talk about elated I couldn’t wait to fill every inch of my beautiful home with wonder and splendor.

New Christmas Traditions for My Heart, Home and My Family

Welcoming New Christmas Holiday Traditions

I put up my Christmas tree and placed three ornaments on it; one purple and two red baubles. I didn’t feel the need to cover my tree with an array of ornaments because the lights on the tree were more than enough to make me and my family smile. It was beautiful just as it was. Those bright-enough white lights gave my living room a soft warm glow that said welcome to all who enter.

After I was finished with the tree I decorated my coffee and sofa tables with my usual stunning red and gold decor. I never tire of using these same decorations year after year. They glitter and sparkle which makes them so very beautiful.

I Love Celebrating the Christmas Season While Creating Special Memories with Family

Every night around 5 pm I’d sit in the midst of inspiration enjoying whimsy and wonder as they blanketed every area of my first floor.

With the lamps turned off and my deep red Christmas hurricanes all lit up, a warm sensation would clothe me in love and I embraced each and every moment of the beauty.

Even though Christmas has come it never leaves. I still see Christmas miracles all around me and I’m grateful for them all. The holiday season has always been and always will be filled with unspeakable joy that warms my heart and home forever.

Welcoming new Christmas holiday traditions is a great to keep the holiday season special.

I hope you had a phenomenal Christmas celebrating the love, joy and good cheer.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Best Store for Christmas Trees

By Cyndi – Posted on

King of Christmas Is Your One Stop Shop for Flocked Trees

 

Best Store for Christmas Trees

Looking for the best store for Christmas trees? Here you go! King of Christmas.

In 2023 I decided to buy my first artificial Christmas tree. My husband was tired of sweeping up needles that constantly fell from our lovely tree. Without fail our beautiful hardwoods in our living room would be almost completely covered in needles from our Christmas tree.

I vividly remember the one year when we waited until the last minute to go shopping for a Christmas tree only to discover that they were completely sold out everywhere we went. Home Depot had a few trees left, but they were not worth bringing home.

On our way home we saw a sign nestled in the grass that said we have Christmas trees. My husband pulled into the driveway and met the homeowner who was working in his driveway. We inquired about the trees and the homeowner showed us the path to the trees. He said that the trees were $30.

Hubby and I got back in the car and drove to the trees. After looking at about 3 trees I told my husband that the trees were dead. They were dry and the needles were brown. They desperately needed water and tender loving care.

I got back in the car, but hubby insisted a finding a tree. He found one and drove back to the homeowner’s driveway. He paid for the tree, placed the tree on top of the car and we drove home with needles falling everywhere. 

Christmas Tree Needles Everywhere

When we got home my husband tried his best to put the tree in the stand. It would not fit. At this point, needles had covered my chestnut colored hardwood floors.

Desperately trying to make the trunk of the Christmas tree fit into that stand, hubby sawed it down. It still would not fit. Needless to say, but I’ll say it anyway, we had to toss that tree. $30 was a lot to give away, but it was okay because I think the man who we bought the tree from really needed the money and we were happy to give it to him!

Any how getting back to why we bought our very first artificial tree. 

My daughter is an interior designer. She gets all kinds of offers from home decorator stores and she told me the story behind her beautifully flocked tree. 

This gorgeous Christmas tree that covered a space in her large foyer was amazing. I really like that tree so I politely asked her where she bought it and she said it was free from King of Christmas. She told me that I should buy one because they were having a sale. She loved her tree and I could see why. It was stunning and the quality was sensational.

I immediately went to their website and found the perfect tree for hubby and me. 2024 was the second year of enjoying this beautifully flocked tree. The lights were just as bright as they were when we first received it. I paid a great price for it too. I call it a bargain because I paid a great price for it. The quality of the tree was superior.

King of Christmas is the best store to buy your artificial tree. They also have some of the prettiest accessories to compliment your tree.

Use my link to purchase your new Christmas tree for 2025. King of Christmas is the best store for Christmas trees. They still have great sales going on so hurry and get your tree now while they last!

Merry Christmas 2025

Let’s Decorate for the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

By Cyndi – Posted on

Let’s Get Ready To Welcome Christmas Into Our Homes

Decorating Our Homes for the Christmas Season

Decorating Our Homes for the Christmas Season starts right now.

If you’re ready, read along and decorate your hearts and homes with me for the holiday season and smile with glee.

Christmas is almost here and it’s time to roll out the red carpet and get ready to celebrate after we have decorated.

Who is ready to decor their home for the holidays? Let’s delve into merry and bright and illumine our homes with beautiful Christmas decorations.

As I have said time and time again, I love Christmas. Christmas is the most amazing time of year for me and my family.

Here it is October and I am ready to decorate my home for Christmas For the last two years I have been decorating my house for Christmas in October.

Although I shelf shop for Christmas decor every year in October I still prefer to use my own traditional pieces to decorate my home with, but you’ll still find me racing to Home Goods, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s for fun. Going to At Home to get a look at their breathtaking Christmas decor. I was not disappointed!

Shopping for Our Holiday Decor

Decorating Our Homes for the Christmas Season 

First, Home Goods is my favorite store for buying Christmas decorations. HG inspires me and gets me deeper into the Christmas mood that warms my spirit.

Shopping for the holiday season get me super excited and seeing the stores stocked up for Christmas. This time of year motivates me to decorate early because when October rolls around in my mind it’s Christmas and I want to enjoy Christmastime as long as possible.

Also, Hobby Lobby and Michael’s are both great to buy decorations for Christmas they both are similar in what they sell for Christmas.

I visited At Home in Maryland and was in awe at their enormous selection of all things Christmas. They had every ornament imaginable and in a variety of colors. 

From red to light pink, blue and mauve everything in their Christmas section was lovely and I enjoyed browsing through their decorations. 

After shelf shopping I decided that I would leave all of the 2024 Christmas decor behind and use all of the decorations that I already have instead of buying new.

I’m ready to decorate and I’ll start with my coffee table.

A few years ago I purchased a gold tray that I absolutely love.  It will be my coffee table’s centerpiece to be a showcase of stunning Christmas decor.

This gold tray is beautiful, bright and perfect for the Christmas holidays. Something about it sparkles and it says Christmas morning, noon and night.

Now, right in the middle of my gold tray I have placed a glass gold Christmas tree which serves also as a candle. It smells remarkable.

Right next to my gold Christmas tree I placed a tall gold reindeer. He has antlers that make him more than beautiful. Everything about him is gorgeous.

Next, I have added red and gold ornaments to this lovely tray with a few purple pieces to make this masterpiece pop.

To add more color and whimsy I have placed a set of three Starry Night Ribbon Ornament Hurricanes in red that illumine with white lights to brighten my table. I purchased these lovelies  from Valerie Parr Hill when she introduced them on QVC in July. These stunning hurricanes help to set the tone for Christmas and they are truly amazing.

And then there is Santa Claus. He is on the opposite end of my red hurricanes. He is clothed in a red soft winter coat and has some wonderful gifts in his sack. He is ready to make his deliveries.

Well, Christmas Luminaries, I think that’s it for now. My Christmas tree will be going up this week. I’ll be back to share the photos with you.

Decorating our homes for the Christmas season should be joy and love

Happy Decorating and Merry Christmas!
