Family and Friends Gather Together To Bring Good Cheer On Christmas Eve

It Was The Night Before Christmas Poem

Christmas Luminaries, how are you?

Are you as excited as I am about the Christmas holidays this year? We truly have a lot to be excited, thankful and grateful for.  

Lately, I’ve been spreading the news about my elation for the Christmas season and sharing it with anyone who will listen across the pond..  

Creating magical moments for Christmas time is all I can think about right now.

As I prepare for holiday cheer, there is one thing I have to do though and that is to add more Christmas decorations throughout my home.

Loving The Christmas Eve Vibes and Wishful Magical Moments

My artificial Christmas tree will be up soon. I have a few personalized Christmas ornaments that I will be putting on my tree this year. I’m thinking about putting outdoor Christmas decorations around my entire house, but I’ll see. 

Also, I need to finish my Christmas shopping. Most of this year’s Christmas gifts will go to me.

I’ll be shopping mostly online again this Christmas. love online Christmas shopping and I’ll be doing that soon. Every year I shop online for my Christmas gifts and thus far it has been a huge success. 

Another thing I need to do is find a few candy cane scented candles for my kitchen to bring the smell of Christmas into every room in my home. I love candles. They are so appropriate for the holiday season as they deliver good cheer into my space.  

Being a creative, I love to write. Writing short Christmas stories and poems bring me tremendous joy.

I’d love to share with you my latest short Christmas poem. I hope you enjoy it. 

It Was The Night Before Christmas Poem

A lot of my Christmas joy comes from sharing my abundance with the world. Christmastime inspires me. It helps me to get deep into the spirit.

Holiday Greetings From My Heart To Yours

Holiday Greetings and Great Happy Feelings

Holiday Greetings

Hello Christmas Luminaries,

Holiday greetings from my home to yours!

Today is September 2nd and we are moving closer to Christmas time.

Last night as I was driving home from the grocery store, I saw two houses decorated with Christmas lights. One house even had a Christmas tree all lit up in their living room. 

Many people are already decorating their homes for the holiday season. Christmas seems to bring a lot of joy into homes around the country. I think it’s that warm and cozy feeling that we expect and look forward to every year.

The Christmas Spirit speaks to our hearts and tells us to embrace the miracles.

Our holiday wishes also come true as and don’t we look forward to seeing our heart desires come to fruition. It’s a great time of the year.

We even see miracles right before our eyes and we believe. Yes, we believe that miracles really do come true especially when we close our eyes and dream.

When we dream of families coming together to share greater wealth more than any other time of the year, we beam. Next to Easter, Christmas fills our souls with prosperity and riches and overflowing abundance. 

Christmas time also inspires us to go out to give to others. After all, Christmas is a time for caring, sharing and giving.

Caring, sharing and giving is an act of love and don’t you just love to love. It is that one emotion that clothes you with peace, joy and thanksgiving. 

Also, being thankful opens up your heart and mind to receive those things which your heart desires. It is the ultimate fulfillment that brings you that one special Christmas gift that you long for all season long. 

Christmas time is the wonder in your backyard and splendor in the snow. It often tells a story on the Eve of Christmas that says, you are loved. Loved by those you love, you come to expect and always receive those cheek to cheek, arm in arm tight hugs that you expect when the holiday season rests upon the roof top of your home. And don’t forget those soft sweet kisses that love plants on your beautiful face in addition to a whole lot of cozy. 

You lovingly welcome holiday greetings and all its beauty with open arms. A wide open bountiful field, you see Christmas everywhere. This is your time of year. You’re happy, blessed and overjoyed and you should be because when Christmas enters your heart, you can’t help but smile, sing and sing some more. What better time to express your emotions and peace that surrounds and inspires you throughout the holiday season.   

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Your radiance reflect the Christmas lights on the tree and your heart is open to give and to receive. 

Holiday greetings to all. Christmas time is here.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Cyn

Shop My Christmas and Beauty Finds On Amazon

Best Christmas and Beauty Finds

I love shopping for the holiday season. Cooking and baking are my two loves when it comes to Christmas. 

Last year I decided that I wanted to buy plastic plates to use throughout the holidays. I’m the dishwasher in my home and I needed a break from cleaning up dishes all season long. 

I went on Amazon to see if I could find white and gold plastic plates because my Christmas theme for 2024 was white, gold and red.

Amazon had so much to choose from. When my eyes saw these beauties I knew I had to buy them. 

When my plates arrived I was really surprised of the quality of them. Of course I read the reviews before I made my purchase. These plates received great reviews. The reviews helped me to make up my mind to buy the plates for Christmas.

If you’re looking for some really nice Christmas plates that you can just throw away, I think you will love these plates. They are truly the perfect plates to celebrate the holiday season!

Check out these plates on Amazon.

Jesus Is The Reason Why I Love The Christmas Season

By Cyndi – Posted on

The Holiday Season Is Designed To Bring Wealth and Prosperity Into Every Home

Christmas delivers wealth and prosperity into every home with love.

That’s why the feeling is amazing and it’s all because of Jesus.

Good Day Christmas Friends,

Today is Saturday, May 31, 2025 and I want to talk Christmas. Do you mind if I tell you why I never get tired of talking about Christmas. 

For me Christmas is complete comfort and joy because Jesus is the Reason for the Season. 

You see, I love my precious Lord and sweet Savior, Jesus Christ. He is my Light and Life Who dwells deep within my spirit. He warms every inch of my heart all year long. Also, He bestows countless blessings upon me faithfully my life without me asking for it. I am grateful. 

Like His Kingdom, Jesus’ love is an everlasting love. I am thankful that I get to experience His love when He mercifully wakes me up. With a grateful heart and spirit I bask in the glory of the new day. My spirit and mind renewed I start everyday refreshed and rejuvenated.

There is no love grater than the love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Jesus is the Reason for my deep love for  Christmas

To know the true meaning of Christmas you must know Jesus. I truly believe when the holiday season makes its entrance into my every room inside of my home I can find special gifts in the Hem of His Garment.

One of those gifts is peace. The other two gifts are comfort and love. These special gifts envelope the spirit and gird me with joy. I love the sensational feeling that they bring to me year after year time and time again throughout the joyous season. 

Jesus gifts abundant miracles that surrounds and embraces believers across the pond. Here’s what’s so very special about it all. Jesus gives gifts that only some can see and feel. He is my reason for loving Christmas more than words can say. Jesus is the Reason for the Season. 

Reflecting upon all things Christmas here are some ways that I celebrate the miraculous season.

Comfort and joy are always near and holly jolly has a way of creating more abundance in my life

When I think about the Christmas holiday season I think about Jesus and the comfy and cozy feeling that quickly encompasses me. 

Taking time to relax into deep thoughts about Christmas I close my eyes. Quietly nestled in Jesus’ peace, my brown eyes walk me through a short time zone beginning October 1.

With loving eyes I see my home decked with boughs of holly warming the living room. My seriously comfortable living room brings me true inspiration all throughout this joyful time of the year. It is truly majestic and so is the holiday deocr.

I see all of the precious ornaments, gold bulbs and red runners that melt my heart. They also make me so very happy. In this divine space I write short holiday stories and precious Christmas filled poems. As Christmas music plays in the background I create, design and produce some of my best and most awe-inspiring creations.

From incredible decorations to heavenly pieces of vintage to modern ornaments I write Christmas. 

Now still in the present moment with thanksgiving and all the happiness in my own little world residing deep within every beat of my cotton clothed heart my eyes lead me into my quaint little dated kitchen which I love. Regardless of the fact that I have very little countertop and cabinet space it’s still my kitchen designed 62 years  inside of a loving home and I adore it. 

I am beyond grateful for the beauty, warmth and endless joy in my home.

As I slowly walk through the beauty of it all I am greeted with some of the most delicious desserts to come out of an oven baked by me the one and only.

A most delicious red velvet cake, with a smooth rich texture covered over with cream cheese frosting looks as stunning as my Christmas tree and just waiting to be sliced. And then I have dark chocolate brownies forever the hit in my home along with yummy peanut butter cookies my favorite cookie in the world lovingly grace my 35 year old kitchen table. 

Let’s head into the dining room, another place from whence I gather inspiration whenever I need inspiration for my life in general. It flows, like milk and honey from my living room. These three rooms intertwine like a healthy and loving relationship that naturally flows like rivers of water. 

Christmas brings me an abundance of happiness joy and comfort and it’s all because of Jesus. 

Even though it’s only May 31 it feels like December 25. Everyday for me feels like December 24 and 25 because Christmas resonates with my spirit like oceans of water. I must say that there are not enough words to express how I feel about Christmas. 

Christmas delivers wealth and prosperity into every home with love.

What about you. How does Christmas make you feel? 

Merry Christmas.

Best Stores To Shop for Christmas Gifts

By Cyndi – Posted on

Shopping for Christmas Gifts in 2025

Shopping for Christmas Gifts in 2025

Are you looking forward to the holiday season this year? I know I am. As a matter-of-fact I’ve been checking out a few stores for bargains. This is a great time to shop sales with amazing prices.

I like looking online for the convenience of it all. 

Which do you prefer; going to the mall or shopping online? I enjoy both. One of my favorite stores to shop is Eddie Bauer. They have a beautiful store in Brinton Lakes and they have a large variety of clothing items that are great for my family’s needs I went to the EB store last year to shop for a few Christmas gifts for family. 

Do you have any favorite stores that you shop for Christmas gifts?

Some of my favorite places to shop for Christmas gifts are:

  • Eddie Bauer
  • QVC
  • The NBA Store
  • Fanatics
  • HSN
  • Williams Sonoma
  • Pottery Barn
  • Macy’s 

When I shop Eddie Bauer I look for pajamas for my guys because of their flannels. They are cottony soft and super warm. Now for Christmas decorations I shop QVC because they have some nice bright pieces to help decorate my home. QVC also has a really good coffee cake that we love here in my home. The coffee is moist, rich and just down right good.

Home Goods is another favorite store of my mine. Their Christmas decor is beautiful and reasonably priced and who doesn’t love a great bargain that comes with excellent quality.

For my one son I shop Lakers gear because he is a really big Lakers Fan with Kobe being his favorite player of all time. Every year at Christmastime I purchase him a lot of Lakers paraphernalia and every thing that I have purchased thus far he has loved and wears.  Not once have I had to return one gift. 

Let’s Go Shopping for Christmas Presents for family and loved ones

Shopping for Christmas Gifts in 2025

Macy’s. I love Macy’s and I can be sure that all my purchases have come with a great price tag. I never mind using my money when it comes to shopping at this icon of a store. They have just about everything I need for me and my home. For instance, whenever I need silverware I know that I can count on Macy’s to find the perfect set of anything dinner and kitchen related.

Williams Sonoma and run Pottery Barn are two of the most beautiful stores I have ever shopped. Talk about lovely pieces of home decor, living room and kitchen, you cannot go wrong with Williams Sonoma or Pottery Barn.

We have amazing furniture from Pottery Barn and kitchen utensils from Williams Sonoma. The quality of their items are remarkable and they last a lifetime. That’s how you know you’re getting the best when you shop at these gorgeous stores. I can’t forget to tell you that Williams Sonoma has some of the best bread mixes you’ll ever taste. You must try some. I always grab a bunch when they go on sale. They should have some on sale now if you want to grab some for you and your loved ones. They taste great and make lovely desserts for Christmas Eve.

All of the stores listed above I love. I also shop Hobby Lobby and Michael’s during the holiday season. Hobby Lobby puts out their Christmas decorations in early August so I’ll go there as soon as they stock the shelves. 

There are many stores that I love to shop throughout Christmas. The above is just a small list. The goal here is to give you some ideas when it comes to Christmas shopping. I hope this small list has helped you as you navigate your way shopping for family, friends and yourself during the most wonderful time of the year.

Hopefully, shopping for Christmas gifts in 2025 just got easier with a whole lot of fun!

Merry Christmas Everyone,

The Reddest Ruby Christmas Gift

By Cyndi – Posted on

A Colorful Christmas story filled with friendships, family and treasures

The Reddest Ruby for Christmas

The reddest ruby for Christmas is a story for all to read and enjoy. 

My two best friends and I made plans to go Christmas shopping. It was Christmas Eve and I wanted to spend the day with Jenny and Amanda. We have been best friends ever since my husband and I moved into the neighborhood 7 years ago. They both had two children, but I was pregnant with my first child and we were all excited. I felt like this was going to be one of my greatest Christmas gifts I could receive. Having a baby in the holiday season.

So off to Neiman Marcus we went. It was cold and clouds covered the sky. It was my kind of day. I absolutely love the cold weather. 

We gave the keys to the kind gentleman working the valet station and made a beeline into Neiman. Amanda, Jenny and I went shopping confident that we were going to find the most thoughtful Christmas gifts that we set out to buy. 

Jenny immediately found her mom’s gift and Amanda bought two gifts for her hubby. I, on the other hand, took my time looking for a special gift for myself. 

Walking through Neiman I decided to head on over to the Louis Vuitton store because I knew I would find that very special Christmas gift to go under my beautifully decorated tree.  

Amanda, Jenny and I walked around LV until I found the perfect pocketbook. It had my name written all over it. I purchased it with love.

As the three of us sat waiting for my handbag to be monogrammed with my three initials, GTB, we sat eating macarons and drinking sparkling water that the store manager kindly offered us. The presentation of the macarons and sparkling water was lovely and we felt like Christmas queens.

After all, it was Christmas and we wanted to enjoy every second of the season.  

When the manager brought my beautifully packaged gift we went to a few other stores window browsing. 

We walked through the mall window shopping and had a ball talking and laughing. The mall was merry and bright and filled with Christmas shoppers from one end of the mall to the other. I loved seeing how happy the people were. Christmas has a wonderful way of pouring out love from the hearts of people everywhere. 

Now time was quickly passing and winding down as it always does when you are in the company of love.

Jenny, Amanda and I were hungry and it was time for us to have an early dinner and make our way home afterwards. I was tired and felt I needed to nap. 

We left the mall and went to Capital Grille for dinner. The food was incredible. I had lobster Mac and Cheese. Talk about delicious. Jenny and Amanda shared a plate of large crab cakes and their sides. They said it was more than delish. 

Right after my best friends and I engaged in an awesome conversation and amazing food we headed home. We had a fantastic time. Three close friends sharing, spending and showing love one to another is simply an awesome way to spend part of the holiday season and we appreciate one another and our friendship more than we could ever express with words. 

Amanda, Jenny and I hugged and they headed home. 

Now that we were all home safe and sound it was time for me to relax and enjoy a warm cup of chamomile tea. My husband was on his way home and I wanted his company for the rest of the evening. 

As I sat comfy and cozy awaiting my husband’s arrival I fell asleep. It wasn’t too long after I fell asleep that my husband came home and planted a warm kiss from his lips to my rosy red cheek. What a lovely way to wake up.

Not long after my husband’s sweet warm kiss woke me up we sat talking for a few minutes before we turned on Home Alone and fell asleep not long thereafter.

When we woke up I gave my husband his Christmas gifts and I opened mine from him. 

I still had another gift to open which was my Christmas present to myself.

Looking for my lovely gift I noticed that the packaging was completely different. However, I didn’t say a word, but I must say that I was scratching my head puzzled. I opened my gift that I bought from the LV store to show my husband. 

As I opened the gift I even noticed that the pocketbook had a little more weight to it than it did at the store. I opened my beautiful bag and found another gift inside. There was the most stunning red gift box inside my handbag. I nervously, but excitedly removed the gift box from my LV bag.

My husband said, Merry Christmas beautiful! Open your gift. When I opened the gift box my eyes saw the reddest Ruby ring I had ever seen in my life.  It was, indeed, the reddest Ruby to shine in my eyes. 

The day had dawned and Christmas was shining through the window of our comfortable living room. My husband and I enjoyed the day. I made brunch and then we had Christmas dinner. By the end of the night we were on our way to the hospital.

Little Baby Cyn was born. She was fine and healthy. My husband and I looked at each and said Merry Christmas. Love has come into the world. We are still smiling.

May the reddest ruby for Christmas warm your spirit and bless your heart.

Great Christmas Gift Ideas

Great Gift Ideas for Christmas

Good Day Christmas Luminaries,

Great gift ideas for Christmas is here!

How are you? Today is Saturday, September 28, 2024 and it is the most wonderful and perfect Autumn day.

The temperature is very mild and the leaves continue to fall as they leave their home falling to the ground blanketing and warming earth’s grace and splendor. Today is filled with all kinds of Christmas possibilities and I am embracing them all.

As I continue to countdown to the wonderful holiday season gift cards for Christmas have been on my mind. Have you or do you buy gift cards for friends and/or family?  

I have a few small gifts to buy and gift cards maybe the perfect gift. 

I really love the thought of giving gift cards for Christmas because it’s a very thoughtful gift in my opinion.

Great Christmas Gift Ideas Are Here

Giving a gift card to someone close to your heart takes careful thought though. Let’s delve into this great gift idea it to see if a gift card would make a nice gift for someone we love that maybe hard to buy for.

 First, let’s begin by asking ourselves some questions. 

The person I want to purchase gift cards for is my son. Now while I know which stores my son likes I need to ask myself if he would actually use the gift cards if I buy them, I mean would he use them or would they sit on his bedroom dresser. 

Secondly, I need to ask myself the following questions:

  • What kind of clothing does my son like/wear best?
  • Does he need socks or undergarments
  • What is his favorite clothing brand?
  • Would he prefer a Ralph Lauren gift card or a Neiman Marcus gift card?
  • Would he prefer a Target gift card or a Wawa gift card?
  • Does he need something for his car?
  • Does he need something for his house?
  • What is his favorite restaurant?

Asking myself these questions will help to make it a little easier when it comes to gift card shopping for my son and to understand what gift card he would actually use and appreciate.

What do you think about these great gift ideas for Christmas? Has this helped you in deciding if you would purchase gift cards for family? 

Happy Christmas Shopping and Merry Christmas,

Cyn

My Christmas Shopping Has Started

By Cyndi – Posted on

Shopping for Christmas Is A Tradition That I Look Forward To Every Year

 

Shopping for Christmas gifts. Yes, the time has come for me to shop for jingle bells.

I am singing we wish you a merry Christmas as I shop online for Christmas presents. One of the many things that I love about Christmas is buying Christmas gifts for my family.

It’s a wonderful feeling to give and I love to give. It’s my way of living. Seeing the look on my sons’ faces brings me immense joy because they love everything that I buy them.

My oldest son loves a really nice cologne and my youngest son loves anything that is associated with the Los Angeles Lakers. I usually buy him anything with Kobe’s name or number attached to it. Kobe was his absolutely favorite player so I try to buy him Kobe gear.

Both my sons love a nice smelling soft and subtle cologne and so do I.

My two daughters are a little harder to buy for so I always get them gift cards accompanied by a beautifully scented candle.

And then there’s my husband who doesn’t need a thing except for my love and he gets that every single day year round. He gets warmed by delicious homemade meals and great conversation with me doing most of the talking!

I Love To Shop for The Christmas Season

Shopping for Christmas

How can I forget myself? This year I will be treating myself to a new wardrobe. I have already bought a few pieces for myself and will shop more for me.

I’m looking for leggings to help keep me warm when I get out in all of the hustle and bustle that the holiday seasons brings. I found some really nice ones at Macy’s. I also found a few sweatshirts for myself because I get cold easily and since I’ll be running in and out of stores I’ll need to be warm.

What about you; when do you start your Christmas shopping? Christmas comes quickly which is why I start so early.

Do you shop online or do you shop in person? I, personally, do a little bit of both. I enjoy seeing all the Christmas decorations in person. It is so much fun hearing the sounds of the season playing on the speakers in the stores.

When it’s Christmastime in the city or country it’s time to shop. I ready to start shopping for Christmas gifts and the stores are calling my name.

Merry Christmas,

Decorating My Home for Christmas

By Cyndi – Posted on

How I Decorate My House for the Christmas Season

Warming Homes with Beautiful Christmas Decorations and Amazing Ideas

With a Jingle Bell here, a Merry Christmas there and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, I think we all can agree that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year!

It is no surprise that many stores have lined their shelves with bright and beautiful Christmas decorations. I love seeing the illuminating colors that so remind me of what this joyous holiday season represents. For me it represents love.

Walking into various stores and seeing their lovely Christmas displays warm my heart. My spirit comes more alive during this wonderful time of the year.

Every year at Christmas I find myself spending quiet time at HomeGoods, TJMaxx, HomeSense and now Burlington. I have a new Burlington in my neighborhood and I can’t wait to get there.

I already have my camera ready to record the wonders of the season and as my eyes scroll through all of the breathtaking decor I smile. I cannot wait to start decorating my home. This is an exciting time for me because I get to pull out my lovely Christmas decorations to decorate every inch of my home

Christmas Decor Starts in the Heart

Warming Homes with Beautiful Christmas Decorations

First, I start in my living room. I have a host of table runners so I start with those to compliment the decorations that I’ll be adding. Each piece is special to me which means they all have a special place in my home. I try my best to coordinate the table runners to ensure an easy on the eye kind of flow throughout.

After placing my table runners on each table (there are 3) I then begin adding Christmas bulbs. These Christmas ornaments of red, gold and purple are my favorite colors. They have been my Christmas theme for many years now. I love all of these colors because they deeply resonate with every inch of me and how I want my home to look and feel.

Next I will be adding my small collection of Santas. I have a red clothed Santa Claus and a blue-coat clothed Santa Claus. One Santa will go on my sofa table and the other on my coffee table. These will be greeted by my precious family of angels and elves. Most of my pieces have a lot of red in them which really makes my living room stand out and pop with color with subtle touches of Christmas surroundings them all.

Being able to use my imagination in a great way has helped me design a unique Christmas tray that consist of more Christmas ornaments and lights. When I designed my first tray almost 15 years ago it immediately became one of my very special Christmas designs that I have ever created. I need to do more like this and I think I will this year. I am not an arts and crafts person, but I’m going to try to incorporate some new ideas which I see in my mind.

Moving on, I have large red Christmas balls that I hang in my picture window every year. I must keep the flow of Christmas throughout my home and these also add the perfect touch. I remember one year the delivery guy delivered oil to my home and he said he had never seen such a beautiful window display before. I thought that was so nice of him to notice and to tell me that he loved my Christmas decor.

As I type this i just thought about making some Christmas crafts to see how they come out. I’ll keep you posted.

Christmas Just Ain’t Christmas Without Red and Gold Decor

Another one of my Christmas decorations that I adore is my gold reindeer. Unfortunately, he was broken and now I am on the hunt to find another one. If I can find another gold reindeer I’ll buy two or three to place them around my living room and in my picture window. I think reindeer are beautiful and they speak Christmas to my heart.

Because I decorate every inch of my home from my front door to my kitchen door, my two red wreaths will go up as well. One will go on the front door inside of my house and the other I will place on my sofa table. My Christmas lights will be another extra added attraction to my home’s decor.

There will also be about 4 candy dishes all around my home. I usually have Hershey Kisses, Spearmint and Peppermint candy and I’ll do the same this time around. My family loves sweets. My famous dark chocolate brownies and chocolate chip cookies will be snuggled up in a beautifully designed Christmas canister.

And then there are my Scented Christmas candles will give my rooms a soft subtle scent that adds just the right amount of loveliness in my home.

Now, what about you; how will you decorate your home for Christmas this year? Are you planning on using the same theme as last year or will you be doing something you’ve never done before? However you decide to decorate your home for Christmas this year I know you are going to make it great and look amazing.

Warming homes with beautiful Christmas decorations is an amazing way to welcome in Christmas and all the love that Christmas brings.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
