And These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

With the New Year almost upon us I thought it appropriate to close out the holiday season with a look at some of my favorite things...

Trimming the tree with the hubby...




Cute dogs napping in Santa hats...




Bight paper packages wrapped under the tree...

Christmas cards arriving daily...

(Ya'll know you're on my fridge, right?)

Cinnamon scented pine cones...

Wish you could smell these...

Festive holiday socks...

Anything silver and shiny...

I added these to my collection this year...

Anything Snowman...

Stockings hung by the chimney with care...

Next year, you will see, there will be one more there...

And taking it all in...

I hope you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did this year.

Wishing you much love, happiness, peace and prosperity in 2010.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas to me means spending time with the people you love most. Eating good food. Keeping holiday traditions. And making memories. I painted this ornament for Rob at my parents kitchen table for one of our first Christmas's together. And while my painting skills resemble that of a 7 year olds, it's fun to rediscover little treasures like these during the holidays. I hope your Christmas was one you will treasure and remember for years to come. Merry Christmas Everyone :)
