CHRISTMAS MOMENTS***THE FINALE

For me Christmas isn't about over the top decor and big blow~up santas and snowmen on the lawn... Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It just isn't me.

Here are some final glimpses into our holiday home, be it ever so humble.


Meet Miss Merry Christmas.




Some favorite cards I gave and received along the mantle.




















This year my charlie brown tree is strewn with old rosaries.

I will be back after Christmas with a surprise for all you that I think you will enjoy. Until then, may each of you be blessed with a happy, safe and very merry Christmas!

    oh I agree, a little goes a long way.
    I have said it before, I think all the overdone craziness decor is just in poor taste when so many are going without this year. Donate, share it with those who don't have.

    The only thing that could add to the beauty of these photos is you and Mr. Pea sitting by the fire.
    Merry Christmas my friend.

    You know I love the simplicity, humble or not. I 'm going back to soak it all in. Your home photos are better than any magazine to look at for me.

    Thanks for sharing with us.
