Merry Christmas!

Hi

Here are a few photos of this year's decorations.  I can't believe this year's holidays are already upon us.  One day there were 125 days to go and now there are 2 days left.  What I love the most about our decorations is that they all come from different parts of the world.  Whenever we are on holiday we try to find a decoration for the tree or the house from abroad.  Every angle of the tree brings back lovely memories.  We don't colour coordinate & just go with it.  I also have all of the decorations from the ornament swap & my lovely friend Mandie on the tree this year so it is very spacial.

Also if you have had a long day & want a laugh, read THIS story about a turkey I cooked a couple of years a go.  I'm sure it will put a smile on your face.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, wherever you are.


Happy Holidays my new friends.

Wish you all the best,

  5. Your decorations are so pretty! I love your snowglobe collection! There's something magical about that snow swirling around inside the globe. I have a very beautiful snow globe that a friend of mine gave me for Christmas and I just love it. My husband gave me a lot of miniature snow globes with dates on them that I sit on my window sills every year. Your tree topper is also very beautiful!
