A Christmas Wish

From My House To Yours

Happy Yule!

Yule

The Winter Solstice celebrates the rebirth of the sun.

The cultural winter holidays that share this Solstice time

focus on the return of light and the birth of something precious and holy.

We are offered a time to connect with each other.

Feast

Make Merry

The earth rests, dreams.

We smell wood smoke, spices like cinnamon, clove, cranberries, tangerines and oranges.

Green that never dies celebrated with balsam, pine, spruce, holly.

It is a festival of light.

The Sun -- Son will return. 

Light those candles.

Get out the strings of electric lights.

Make the winter season a season of light.

Thank you to Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

Good Morning!

If a telemarketer calls,

give the telephone to your

and

tell her it's

Santa.

In The Spirit of The Season

It's time for Vee's December Note Card Party.

In the spirit of the season,

here are my four notecards.

You've seen them all recently.

Wishing YOU Well and much Joy.

Winter Greetings!

By now, you know I love birds.

I started collecting the Winter Greetings china pattern by Lenox years ago.

I find a piece here and there and I'm happy when I do!

This year I found 3 mugs with the beautiful cardinal on the front and back.

Santa seems quite happy with his cardinal friend.

I've been drinking a lot of Winter Spice an herbal blend by Twinings.

It is a comforting blend with camomile, cinnamon, cardamom and clove. 

My neighbor and I have a holiday tradition.

We venture out to our favorite nursery to see their holiday decorations.

Always pretty and always too expensive -- but full of great ideas.

I fell in love with this little cabin.

I could imagine curling up under quilts and afghans, in front of fire,

smelling the Christmas tree in the corner, a cat or three curled up next to me,

a book in my hand and a cup of tea near by.

What a story one can make up by looking at a decoration! 

Several weeks later,

look what I found!

A cabin in the snow.

I think I'm going to add more snow, but I'm a happy camper.

It looks lovely under the tree and in this story,

I can hear Santa coming down the chimney!

Perhaps he'll share a cup of tea with me.
