There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays!

Almost Christmas and I can't wait! Here's what I'm going home to!


This is the little "White Christmas" tree in the dining room.



This is also the dining room, looking at the Solstice Tree.


This is the tree in the living room. It sort of tells my family story, with a combination of ornaments from the family tree, photo ornaments, gifts from friends, things I've chosen just because they fit, and all the ones I've made over the years! Don't forget the travel souvenirs, too!

And here's the family room, as it was for my holiday gig!

Can you see why I like being Home for the Holidays?

  10. Hi, everyone who has commented!

    I am still trying to figure out how in the world to reply to individual comments (but not on the blog!). You're all so nice to welcome me to the neighborhood!

  11. Jeanie: If you figure out how to comment on each individually, let me know!!! And I don't see a place to comment on your latest entries? Hmmmmm. (I just love the late great Mr. Stimpy--of the orange variety that is.) It takes a little while to get used to everything, but you seem to be moving right along. Yea, last post until after Christmas. Ha. You have been bitten by the blog bog, I know it! But, just in case, have a very Merry Christmas!!! xoxo
