Christmas is coming and I've been busy preparing.
Red at Christmas makes my heart sing!
I adore
whites
and
silver
too...
but red just says C h r i s t m a s to me.
At any other time of year, red is not my colour,
but as this season approaches...
red comes alive!
This snowman globe is extra-special to me.
My oldest son gave it to me last Christmas
and I l o v e it!
Call me a little kid, but I've always loved
snow globes...magical I guess.
It's my very first one!
Yes, I'm decorating for Christmas already!
I've got our white tree up in the dining room
and all lit up with white lights.
I'll decide what I'll dress it up with in a bit.
For now, I'm just happy it's up.
I plug it in in the evening
and stare at it every time I go in the kitchen
;)
Red tea-lite holders
bring such colour against the whites
and I love how festive they look!
Candles and light bring warmth in any season,
don't they?
And the fragrances...I love cinnamon tea-lites.
My baby sister, Diana gave me some home-made ones last year...so fragrant!
A Christmas bowl filled with apples
sits on our table.
My sister, Denise gave me this large bowl for Christmas
and I love it...along with two smaller bowls that are a matching set.
I have a crush on bowls.
This looks like it matches the bowl above,
but it's not part of the set.
It's actually a large snacking bowl
and I love it at Christmas too!
Snowmen have a special place in my heart.
Christmas bowls filled with popcorn!
Hubby and I love to play backgammon
and we've been playing a game or two every night in the last few evenings.
I won the game this morning...and my prize was a candy-cane hot chocolate,
which he went and got me ;)
Yum! It has a mint shot in it and some candy cane sprinkles in it.
So good!
And then there's cups....
I love drinking from my red cups
in this season.
I'm making a list
and checking it twice..lol
So many things to do all month...
I have to have a list..even of what I need to do on particular days.
With working...planning on my spare time is a must.
But today...on the top of my list..
is to visit my Mom & Dad!
How are your Christmas preparations
coming along?
Hugs & red Christmas kisses to you!
All my heart,
Deborah xoxo
