Merry Christmas.
Thanks for sharing…your tree is beautiful..I am definitely a red girl…helps warm me in the frozen tundra! Also thanks for the “Happy Christmas”…Happy Holidays just doesn’t do it for me.
Oh, Karen! You are a special part of the sprinkles on our Christmas cookies and a very sweet addition to my mornings. Wishing you a Christmas filled with warm memories, laughter, and love! Merriest Christmas! ♡
Karen, Everything looks just perfect and I love all the red and green 🙂 Wishing you and your family the MERRIEST Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! xxleslie
Christmas seems to be a good time to tell you how much I look forward to reading (and viewing!) your post every week. Ray was complementing me on my Christmas decor and asked where I find my inspiration. I told him I try to copy many of the ideas from your blog. I think you’re going to have a new follower!
Enjoy the rest of the holiday season and having your family together. That’s what makes Christmas so special, isn’t it?
xoxo, Gretchen
Gretchen, You are, and always have been such a wonderful friend and loyal reader. I can’t begin to express how much it has meant to me to have your support and encouragement along the way. Thank you! I hope Ray will visit, it would be fun to have a man’s input. 🙂 xo, Karen
Karen,
As always, your posts are full of inspirations.
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2015 is the best year ever for you!

Karen,
This year was so hectic that I didn’t see this post until the 29th! What lovely pics of your home — from the mailbox to the front door to the Christmas tree — everything is so beautifully decorated without going over the top. I bought some plain red glass balls today so that I could copy your tree next year. Thanks, as always, for allowing me the opportunity to steal your ideas!
Hi Linda, It’s been a whirlwind around here and it’s gone by so quickly. I know your tree is beautiful this year and it will be fun to try out some new ideas. xo, Karen
