A Quiet Beginning to the Holiday Season
It's beginning to look alot like....
Robert and I spent the weekend visiting with quilters at the store who stopped in for our Gift Certificate specials. We ate lots of turkey and pumpkin pie, binged on Netflix, and started the Christmas decorating at the cabin. Instead of a big tree, I string garland and lights along our 8" deep windowsills and scatter with rustic holiday cheer - wooden deer and trees cut out of logs, shiny stars on bed springs and birds of all kinds. I love that pinecones and stars and trees last much longer thru the winter than Santas and Christmas specific decor. My tiny tree fits in a plaid tin this year.

I love everything about Christmas. The music, the pretty lights, the smells of cookies baking and candles burning. I wouldn't even mind a few snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday favorite is the time spent with family and friends. It just seems more special at this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday favorite is our annual Christmas Eve dinner and Uno tournament .
ReplyDeleteChristmas is a time to enjoy family and eat way more than we need, I love to make fruit cakes for a special treat 😊
ReplyDeleteI love all the lights on the houses. Hubby and I go driving through neighborhoods several times just to see all the different decorations.

My holiday favorite is candle light service and then home to bake cookies and open one gift before bed ,,,,,all done with my grandchildren.
ReplyDeletePutting out the platic canvas needlework white angel my grandmother made for me always jump starts my holiday.
ReplyDeletePutting out the platic canvas needlework white angel my grandmother made for me always jump starts my holiday.
ReplyDeleteI love the candlelight service at church and the singing of O Holy Night. hedgehog52@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love how everyone is so much nicer and kinder during the month of December. Of course I also love driving around looking at all the lights and always hope it snows enough to cover the grass and make it see more like Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the holiday light displays.
ReplyDeleteI love baking Christmas cookies. I make cookie trays for my neighbors and deliver them personally before Christmas Eve...so fun :)
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas tree in a plaid container adds a nice touch. You have stuffed those canvas bags with some great goodies
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the holiday baking. I make many cookies and give most away. I have some elderly neighbors that I give cookie plates to and they enjoy them every year.
ReplyDeleteI love putting out my Santa Claus collection. Some are hand made by my mom, some by me. Love being with family as well.
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas for decorating without a big Christmas tree. Every year, I feel guilty about a tree giving up it's life just so I can decorate it for 3 weeks. I hope you and Robert have a marvelous Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteMy fondess memory of Christmas is coming into the house after school and being welcomed by the smell of the fresh cut tree.
ReplyDeleteChristmas is so much a family time for me. I didn't have siblings growing up, but entered into a family of five who love every bit of being family and enjoying the holidays.
ReplyDeleteLunch with friends, pine cones, decorating the outside of the house, baking cookies and the look of anticipation on children's faces are my favorite things about the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday favorites have to be the smells of Christmas-the scent of evergreen, cookies baking and Christmas coffee perking. Thanks for all the inspiration this year, the giveaway I won and now for the chance to win this awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday thing to do is to just sit with hubby and watch the tree lights twinkle while listening to music. Simple pleasures are the best. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
The smells! Pine, cookies, mulled wine!
ReplyDeleteRemembering the true meaning of Christmas--Jesus is the reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about Christmas, the smells, the lights, the garland everywhere. Especially love my grandkids helping with the decorating and looking forward to putting up the little advent tree. Special times.
ReplyDeleteHaving all the family home and all the good food, thankful for all of this. Small ceramic tree the last few years, it sparkle also
ReplyDeleteI love making Christmas cookies with my family. It's a family tradition that I hope continues for many years! (Even though all three kids are in college right now!)
ReplyDeleteWe have given up the big pre-lit tree for much simpler holiday decorating . I like it much better and it is so much less work after Christmas. This year I am decorating the small front porch with greenery and a Santa pillow on a bench. It will be a warm welcome for friends and family!
ReplyDeleteWe still have a tree. Since I was little, my family always bought or made one special ornament to represent something that happened or some place we went that year. Without a tree, I'd have no place to display all these memories!
ReplyDeleteHoliday favorites are times spent with the kids and grandkids. The twinkling lights and the little nativity are always the best! The pure joy and wonderment on their little faces makes the heart happy!
ReplyDeleteCrazy but true...After the tree is decorated and all lit up we turn off all the lights, sit together and just stare at the tree. Perhaps it it pure exhaustion or the warm feeling that the holiday season has begun. The dogs seem to get into it, too. Peaceful.
ReplyDeleteKathleen Mason
Your cabin looks so inviting. I can smell the pine and cinnamon! My holiday favorites are decorating with handmade festive quilts, wall hangings depicting the season, greenery, cinnamon dipped pine cones, and heavy candles. Thank you for a exciting giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am a Christmas decoration addict but the smell of a fresh cut tree with all the lights on it have all my favorite memories wrapped in it.
ReplyDeleteMy truly favorite thing to do is see beautiful pictures people put on their blogs and Facebook on how they decorate. Just like your blog just did. Also love any family time with our family spread all over it is hard to do sometimes. Thanks for the fun. Jenellejb (at) aol (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI love the lights on the Christmas tree! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite things to do at Christmas are baking cookies with my girls and getting together with family on Christmas Eve. I just love your cozy Christmas cabin!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are handmade and homemade decorations reminding me of friends, family, and special places.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday are also the many Christmas decorations I have collected over the years... so many memories! We used to decorate 2 trees, one for me and one for the rest of the family. Now my children are talking about decorating their trees with the ornaments their mother lovingly made or picked out for them each year.
ReplyDeleteCaramel corn is my holiday favorite. I cannot lie ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like to decorate more for winter than Christmas itself. Pinecones are a favorite of mine too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the smell of a fresh cut tree! The whole house smells like Christmas then!:)

My favorite is decorating the outside tree and enjoying the lights outside after a fresh snowfall.
ReplyDeleteDecorating for Christmas always brings good memories as we unpack so many items that were gifts. Always, the ceramic tree with little lights my mother made takes center stage. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway. clara-chandler@att.net
ReplyDeleteMy holiday favorites are making gifts (potholders, tablerunners, etc.) for friends and loved ones! I love it when I get to say "I HAVE to go sew now!" : ) Have a blessed Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteDecorating the big tree. Almost all of the ornaments have great memories: some from my father's tree when he was little, my tree when I was little, the first ornaments we bought after marriage, souvenirs from our many trips together, places we visit here at home, from our childrens youth, ones made by grandchildren & children, gifts from friends and family, etc.etc. Great memories start a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday favorites are the time I am cooking with sisters and children helping.I also love decorating our home and singing carols.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Christmas!!
Christmas past brings back memories of me waiting up for Santa and falling asleep. My dad was military and we spent some Christmases in Germany and had some ornaments made in Bavaria. They broke over the years but still remember them.
ReplyDeleteI love love how you decorate for Christmas...so warm and cozy! I am slowly trying to decorate the same way...more of a nature/woodland theme. My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with our two grown boys, playing board games and all the yummy food!
ReplyDeleteEating cookies, meeting and spend time with family and friends, give gifts and have a great time re my favorite things about this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteSetting up the Nativity set is one of my favorite things about Christmas. It reminds us of the reason for the season-the birth of Jesus, our Savior from our sins!
ReplyDeleteI love the beauty of Christmas time - the lights, the tree, the ornaments and all the memories they bring, the cool weather, family, good food, and most of all, celebrating the birth of Jesus. Some of my favorite ornaments are Jim Shore ornaments. I love the colors he uses and how he incorporates quilt designs in a lot of his work.
ReplyDeleteFamily sharing memories of Christmas. From my 95 year-old mother to our wonderful grandchildren, the fun & laughter doesn't stop when we share each new Christmas together.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas favourites are my close family, countryside walks, good food, mulled wine and sitting by the fire sharing memories and slow thinking time together
ReplyDeleteChristmas time is family time - the best time of the year.

I love everything about Christmas. Too hard to single out any favorites!
ReplyDeleteChristmas is a quiet time for us, now we live in a different country from our family, but we still enjoy the time leading up to it.... especially love the Christmas markets.
ReplyDeleteI've switched from Santa's to Snowmen. Since winter seems to never leave in Minnesota, I can leave them out until April--lol!
ReplyDeleteLynn, I agree with your winter style. I decorate with quilted trees I make, pine cones and felted acorns. I add red& white pillows and throws and our clan tartan.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about Christmas! Decorating, buying and making gifts, wrapping and the anticipation on my grand babies faces as they try to figure out what Nanny got them. Definitely my favorite time of the year!
ReplyDeleteYour decorating is so pretty - I love the holidays and try and use handmade in most of decorating! I missed the Dec sampler bag - out of stock but maybe I will get lucky! thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love all the decorations, some are from my grandmother, some my children made when they were little, some I made. I love seeing what is in each box.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas especially now that I have grand children. I have a tree that only has lights and the Christmas ornaments I buy each of my 5 grandchildren each year. I love how they gravitate to that tree trying to find the ornament I bought for them for the current year. The ornament symbolizes either a major accomplishment they have done during the year or their Santa present that was left at Nanny's house. On the ornament box I write them a little note usually telling them how proud of them I am and how much I love them. When they get their own home they will get all of their ornaments and hopefully read my notes and cherish our many Christmas memories together.
ReplyDeleteSome of my Christmas favorites are getting out and hanging on the tree the ornaments I've collected over the years, going to Christmas Eve service at church, and seeing the magic of Christmas through my granddaughters' eyes.
ReplyDeleteI love slowing down and hanging out with my family, yummy treats are fun to look forward to as well. Thanks for the giveaway, I was too late to buy a bag! :(
ReplyDeleteDecorating the house is my favourite thing. I love to put on some Christmas music and get the house ready for the season.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing is decorating the Christmas tree with my mum, we do it on the 20th or 21st of December.

ReplyDeleteI love everything about Christmas- decorating our home, spending time with family and friends, baking, wrapping presents, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
Merry Christmas, Charlotte
Not much I don't like about Christmas, the family activities, music, snow, lights. Maybe the crowds. Those I can do without. I'm trying to put away the boxes after getting out the decorations. I have grandkids that love to decorate and I have lots of Santas that need to be set out. I'm getting so I would be happy to do less but as long as the grandkids do the work, the boxes will keep coming out. How generous you are. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteChristmas doesn't begin until the day after Thanksgiving. My favorite is getting out all the decorations and finding new ways to display them. I hang a Christmas quilt on the landing stairwell railing. There are candles and wreaths and knick-knacks aplenty. Finally the lights go up and the tree. I try to get all my kids together to trim the tree. They each have one ornament from when they were born that's 'theirs.' Once they hang that, we are all ready to go. Thank you for such wonderful designs and lovely fabrics.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is spending time with my family and enjoying eating special treats we enjoy at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love getting to spend time with my 2 grandkids. They live in another state so a couple of years ago I made a Gingerbread House with them & it has become a tradition.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy getting to see family. Some of them it is only at Christmas. I also enjoy the decorations and food!
ReplyDeleteCelebrating Christ's birth and reading Advent stories is one of my favorite things. :)
ReplyDeleteDecorations look beautiful and peaceful too. Or should that be " pieceful "?
ReplyDeleteI just love everything Christmas. The smells of Christmas are truly one of my favorites. The tree, the baking, the dinner. I also love the chaos that comes with all 17 of us gathering in my fairly small house......
