It's snowing outside today.. Well, flurries, but it's still beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!
1. This week we got just a small amount of decorations out....This will be a low key year...So everything is just a cozy place to sit and enjoy reflecting on the real meaning of Christmas over a hot cup of mulled cider and carols on the YouTube channel!
2.Yesterday I had just gotten the Christmas cards out and ready to start the addressing while I enjoyed my coffee, when sweet Hubs brought me in a plate of french toast and delicious sausage along with a tall glass of orange juice cocktail... juice mixed with water from our soda stream... I love that so...... refreshing!
3. Later after putting the mess away, I finished setting the table and working on the dining room hutch.. much more simple from years gone by!!!
Since I am only planning on using my black and white transfer ware along with my Christmas plates, I like the simpler black wrought iron accents.
4. Just using this amount of decor... means I didn't have to get out the large storage boxes down stairs... just the greenery which is really what I like, along with the lights!!
5 Today Hubs and I were out doing errands and he actually let me stop at my favorite consignment shop while he snoozed in the truck.... I hurried, but still found a darling red plaid charger to use with my Christmas plate while serving special holiday fare, a snowy flocked garland with red berries that was a huge bargain, and I bought a couple of sets of battery operated twinkle lights that I will use tomorrow when I decorate the sun room tables....:)

ReplyDeleteI love low key... I did that, too, this year. There's nothing more special than the glow of Christmas lights.
