Christmas inspiration ~



Hello my friends.  It is really getting close to Christmas ~

 
I want to wish all of my American Friends ~ Happy Thanksgiving~

I have been itching to decorate for Christmas ~ I don't know why.  Usually, I don't do anything until after the American Thanksgiving, but ~ oh what the heck ~





I started with ~ winter decorations ;-)  The holly and evergreens came from the back yard ~


 
Just a few things ~




Besides, everyone needs, skis and a sled and a bucket of big pine cones on their front porch ;-)

 
I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg for me ~

Have you been busy decorating?

I am sure most of you are busy baking, cooking and getting ready for Thanksgiving ~ ohhhhh I can smell all of the wonderful aromas from each and every household ~ yum

I will be on the look out for all of the wonderful recipes ~

(((Hugs)))

  1. Thank you for the well wishes.
    Your decorations look so wonderful. Oh to have holly and evergreen that you can just go out and pick! You are so fortunate!! I can't wait to see the rest when you are done!!

  2. I am not hosting Thanksgiving so I have started decorating. I am tired of the color of orange. I will probably decorate less this year as I have been doing the past couple years. Smaller trees, less clutter. Your porch looks nice. That is one area that will wait until after Thanksgiving.

  3. I love your touches of Christmas. The old things by the front door are great. I wish I had a covered porch so I could do that too. I have the skis and a sled but don't want them in the bad weather. Your silver set looks sweet. Have a great week!

  7. I really like what you've done with the skis and sled, I'm trying to figure out how to use my skis...I don't have a porch unfortunately, only steps that have a small platform at the top. I love what you've done already though, it looks great!

  8. I found out yesterday I have Friday off, so that gives me a 6 day weekend! No excuses not to decorate. Oh I love your porch.....I have my Dad's sled I put out every year. Wish my neighbors did not cut down their holly tree.
