I am delighted to be joining in on a blog party hosted by Sandy at No Place Like Home to share the special things that living here really make home feel really homey!
Well, it is finally the day after Thanksgiving and I can legitimately be excited about Christmas. I cannot think of a better time of year to be confined at home with just my sweetheart, than Christmastime. The senses are so engaged and tantalized that you can’t help but feel love, cosiness, and hope for things to come.
Hubs went out today and purchased an early present for us to be able to really enjoy during the holidays. This cute Victrola multimedia sound system is just what we needed to enjoy the sounds of the seasons! Listening to carols is one of my favorite Christmas pastimes!
We do have our main tree up and decorated. That leaves two smaller trees to go... but trees are so important to whole climate of a Christmassy home..It draws you right into the room with its warmth and bright lights!
I haven't run across my tree skirt yet, perhaps it is time to make a new one to commemorate this year of years! The arrangement below seems to always be my first project each yuletide season.. I love to switch it out by the seasons and I really get my love of Christmas decortaing in full mode by starting small but it does give a big punch. Later in the evening, I will plug in its lights!
Hopefully, tomorrow I will have another tree done and the whole effect will be so divinely lit, that I might capture the glorious Christmas love that light and cheer add to a setting ... that even when we are here on our own this year, we still enjoy the majesty of the season in our safe and comfy home! I will be sharing more on No Place Like Home in the coming days of Christmas!
Hi Schotzy, so happy to have you join my party! Your tree is lovely and that victrola; what a wonderful gift! I too love the Christmas carols and there have been times when I was tempted to play them well into the new year, I love them so much. When my children were small I use to have the music on mid-November and I would start decorating. My friends used to tease me about it. But a lot of people are decorating early now and our local radio station has started playing Christmas carols this week. That is the earliest they have ever played them. Seems everyone is wanting a little Christmas a little earlier this year. Thank you for joining me and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Since I am working this year, hubby and son are decorating (Heaven help us, we might turn into Griswolds by the time they finish, grin and laughing). They have already decorated our small front porch, again, think "Griswolds" from the National Lampoon movies. I know...I know...let it go, smiles. Have a great day friend.
