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

How To Create A Wonderful Holiday Season

By Cyndi – Posted on

You Can Create An Amazing Christmas Season by Doing This One Thing

Have a Merry Christmas

Do you want to make Christmas 2025 a Christmas you will forever cherish? Fill it with more love.

Get out the Christmas trinkets that you’ve treasured year after year.

Reflect on those special holiday traditions that has and still does bring abundant happiness and joy in your life.

Open up your Christmas treasure chest and gift that one Christmas tree heirloom to a loved one that your mother gave you years ago. 

May it be the first that all eyes see when they enter into your home.

Get Ready To Create Christmas Wonder In Your Home

Allow the sounds of the holiday season to flow through the rooms of your home while Christmas decor lights up the walls of your home.

Prepare to receive family and friends with loving arms and may your hands warm their hearts when love blankets them.

Offer them a seat on the cozy comfy couch and cover them with the handcrafted quilt your grandmother crocheted decades ago.

Serve mouth watering canapes for your guests. They will ask you for the recipe.

Take out your finest wine glasses and pour a glass of champagne to celebrate your relationships and friendships.

And now sit, relax and enjoy heartwarming conversations all about the Christmas season.

Wait while I put on Celebrate Me Home.

This Christmas song is more than beautiful.

It lends inspiration throughout the joyful holiday season. Originally written and sang by Kenny Loggins, I have fallen in love with Josh Groban so it is only appropriate that I play his version.

This Christmas song, I must say, is aww-inspiring.

When you hear your doorbell ring and you see your neighbors standing at your front door because they hear songs of the season echoing from your living room window,  invite them into your home to enjoy some of your Christmas traditions.

May the Christmas Spirit rests on your rooftops and into every room of your home. 

Have yourself a very amazing Merry Christmas everyone.

Best Stores To Shop for Christmas Gifts

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,

Cyn

 Christmas Miracles Happen When Love Enters Into Our Hearts 

Christmas Miracles and Love

Christmas miracles and love.

Christmas is love and when we invite this special time of year into our hearts and homes we get to experience overflowing joy that majestically flows in clothing and warming us with Christmas presence.

Wonder becomes splendor and the two become expressions of love that await Christmas miracles making wishes come true. This happens when we close our eyes to dream.

We open our eyes to see the beauty of the holiday season and we smile.

Gifted to us we receive an abundance of peace and joy and maybe even those things which our hearts desire or that which we need.

Love continuously wraps and warms us and we are given ornaments of grace.

Enjoy Christmas and take time to sit relax and think of the beauty of this sensational holiday season.

There is no time like Christmastime. It is truly a time to love and a time to give and to welcome family friends to gather around and love each other sincerely.

Lasting love endures and Christmas lives in our hearts forever and always. This season why not let joy, all the love and peace become our way of living and speaking. When we do this  Christmas happens everyday because Christmas is love.

 

Merry Christmas Eve Everyone

Christmas Is Coming

By Cyndi – Posted on

Season’s Greetings, Christmas Luminaries,

Welcome to Christmas in my home

Christmas in my home

Can you believe Christmas is right up the road. I am so excited I cannot wait to put up my Christmas tree and decorate my entire house from top to bottom for this joyous holiday season!

Here’s how I plan to decorate my home this year.

Every year at Christmas I create a theme for the most wonderful time of the year. This year my  theme will be gold reindeer and beautiful Christmas angels. My color palette will be the Christmas tradition that I grew up with and simply love which is red and green with a little bit of gold mixed in.

Starting at the front door I will add a lovely traditional Christmas wreath. Should you enter into my home physically or by your imagination, you will see two gold reindeer comfortably nesting in my warm candle lit living room. To this gorgeous display I will also be adding red hurricanes, by Valerie Parhill, that I purchased on QVC. They are simply gorgeous.

Christmas Is Coming and I’ll Be Ready

Christmas in my home

In addition to all of this Christmas wonder, stringed white lights will accompany the greenest garland joyfully laid across the window sill for beauty and splendor. This window brings a lot of light into my home. 

Last year I bought a cute little gingerbread couple that I found on QVC so I will be sure to put them out for a conversation piece. I got them on sale for a really great price.

A few years ago I purchased Luminara candles, a special collection from, again, QVC. They will go on my coffee table up against the wall in my great room. They will add a soft light affect throughout my home this Christmas.

It won’t be long before Christmas in my home will come to life. I am truly looking forward to Christmas 2024 and as I countdown the days until Christmas I will be dreaming of this special holiday season and enjoying the love that it brings.

Merry Christmas Everyone.
