Hi.
Welcome.
Merry Christmas!
I'm glad you came for a visit.
I'd like to share my home with you for Christmas.
Tell me about your day; grab a cup of coffee and sit with me a while.
I don't know about you, but I'd like to put my feet up and just enjoy the holiday.
Have you been crazy busy trying to get everything done for upcoming festivities?
It can be such fun, but it can also be so exhausting!
Shopping?
Wrapping?
Cleaning?

Absolutely loved the tour. Your home is so warm and cozy and very inviting! You have done well with spending little money and are certainly good stewards of what God has given you!!!
thank you for the tour! You have a beautiful, welcoming, festive home and a special touch when it comes to decorating. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Mary Margaret and Linda. I wish the two of you could hop in the car and come for a visit!
Looks great! Thank you for sharing! Christmas comes and goes so fast! I miss it already.
Michelle, I was thinking the same thing. I think next year I’m decorating BEFORE Thanksgiving so I can enjoy it longer!
