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?

    Hi Jeanie,

    Rosa has sent me over to welcome you to the neighborhood! It's a pleasure to meet you.
    Your home is lovely, and I've enjoyed seeing your wonderful holiday decorations. I love the white Christmas tree, especially.

    Thank you for the recipe and very best wishes to you for a happy Christmas.

    You'll love the blogging community. I have a bit of a crisis going on right now but I wanted to stop by and say "hi" and welcome you. Your blog is lovely.

    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!

    So, till I figure it out, thanks!!!!

    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

Thanks for coming by! I love your comments and will answer do my best reply directly with email if your address is included. If you are a no-reply blogger, know that I appreciate your visit but may not be able to reach you. I will not publish malicious or spam-like robo-comments so if you are coming in as anonymous or unknown, please ID yourself with your name and or contact info. I tend to avoid conflict. I know not everyone agrees with me on issues or I with them and I will probably not get into an argument with you. If a comment is made respectfully, I will post it, even if I don't agree with what the commenter says. If it is obviously spam or uncivil, I may not post it and I certainly won't reply. So, if you have a question, please post it in the comments and if you aren't connected to a blog or email, I will be happy to answer if I can. Please note that if you are an "anonymous" commenter, you are a no-reply blogger by default. (And I hope the person who asked that sees this because they came in as anonymous with no contact info so I can't reply directly!)
