“The stockings are hung by the chimney with care” around here and we’re settling in to the last few days until Christmas.
It’s cold and bright out at the moment. They say we might get snow Christmas night– or might not. It changes every few hours it seems like. I’d love to see some snow though— we didnt really get any last year and we’re long overdue for any sort of water falling from the sky 🙂
We recently got some fresh wood and have been enjoying a nice toasty fire. There’s nothing better than curling up by the fire with some music playing and a little family puttering around the house, and lazy dogs scattered around, enjoying the warmth.
I hope you and yours have a safe and lovely holiday. This time of year is full of such introspection, isn’t it? I hope that 2013 brings an abundance of good things. I’ve got lots of plans, to be sure!
I’d also like to invite you to my new little Scandinavian blog– Scandinavian Folk. It’s going to be so much fun! Hope you’ll stop by and join in 🙂
Til then, safe travels and happy holidays!~

I always adore your house during the fall and winter holidays! GORGEOUS! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and that you get your snow! We haven't had any real snow yet this year, and won't be getting any before Christmas. Kind of a bummer, but Christmas is always beautiful with or without it.

Your home looks all ready for settling down \”with Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap, had just settled down for a long winter's nap\”! We too are having an unusual cold snap here in Florida and I am looking forward to some fires in the fireplace and enjoying time by the Christmas tree. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas too!!

Your house looks so warm and inviting. I adore all your holiday decor. You are exactly right – there is nothing better than sitting by the fire, mug in hand, holiday music playing, and pups by your side. Hope you had a very merry holiday!!!! I am sure the New Year will bring health and happiness to all!
