By the Fireside

 

The stockings are hung. . . .The baking is done. . . .

The packages are wrapped. . . .The greeting cards are mailed.

 

It's time for us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the remainder of these Christmas Holidays.

 

Time for a little pampering. . . .Some hot apple cider and pumpkin bread will do the trick. . . .

"Mints" on the pillows. . . .hmmm. . . .Don't you love those hotels that leave the little chocolates?

 

 

We'll need a little candlelight. . . .of course. . . .

 

 

 

 

and a 'Snoopy Tree'. . . .Yes! . .  .Not so perfect. . . .but adorable anyway. . . .

  

 

 

 

 

 

All I need to do is add a little Christmas music and the stage is set for a relaxing evening by the fireside. . . .

 

 

So many blessings to be thankful for. . .So many memories to reflect upon. . . .So much love to share. . . .in so many ways. . . .

 

I hope you've enjoyed looking in on our life here at The Country Farm Home this year. . . .We've certainly enjoyed sharing it with you. . . .We've met so many truly wonderful people. . . .and have made new friends that I hope will last a lifetime. . . .

 

This is my last post for the year. . . .unless I just can't stay away (you know how that is). . . .We're taking off the rest of the year. . . .to be with family and friends. . . .for Christmas parties and caroling . . . .to prepare for the 'big day'. . . .But, I'll definitely be back after the Holidays, with lots of new things to share--new ideas for our Plain and Simple Style--and new stories to tell. . . .So, until then my friends. . . .Have an Absolutely Wonder-filled Holiday!
