Hope Santa remembers I've been nice and puts a tiny something in my stocking come Christmas Eve!
No sun peeking out today to flood the dining room with bright Winter light, murky fog and drizzly rain again........................
................but the snowflakes glitter a little in the window.
Sitting here in the early morning I check my 'to do' list......it's long, I must get moving because at the end of this week I'm off on a trip.
No, not Paris unfortunately...............some year I truly would love to experience Christmas in the 'City of Light'. Some of you thought I might be crossing the pond and spending the Christmas holidays at home in England. No such luck..............but I would love to be there, strolling the streets of London in all its Christmas finery, then traveling South to the Devon coast and enjoying some time by the sea in my home town over the holidays.
Keeping fingers crossed for good flying weather later this week. "North Pole"? Someone asked if that's my destination. No, but it can be almost as cold where I'm going!

Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteThe snowflakes in your window look so pretty. We are in sunny Florida and I am glad to avoid the dreary weather I hear you're having. In case I don't talk to you before you go away, I'll say have a safe trip and Merry Christmas today.
Love Rhondi
Such pretty pictures! My hubby suggested taking the snowflakes that we have and hanging them in the window. Now that I have seen yours I realize that it looks so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteMy to do list is buried underneath all the paperwork on my desk! So much to do!
I hope that where ever you go are going that you will have a wonderful trip and lots of fun!!!
Take Care!

Hello dear Mary. What a perfectly beautiful post today. Your home looks so festive and the subtle Christmas decor is gorgeous and so you. I too hope Santa leaves you something special in your pretty stocking.
ReplyDeleteWe are heading to Florida for Christmas this year. We have two daughters and their families who live there. Four of our grands will be with us there too. It will be very special.
Have a wonderful Christmas my dear friend and safe travels where you are going. I wish you and your family a Christmas full of warmth and love.
Christmas love, Jeanne
Wherever you travel may it bring great joy! Travel with delight in your heart.

Your home is so lovely, Mary. It doesn't matter if the sun isn't shining. You have brought so much light into it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas my dear,
