Merry Christmas dear friends



I would like to take the opportunity to wish you a very happy Christmas.
As it is such a busy time of the year and hope you find some time to relax and enjoy the holidays.

Warmest greetings of the Season and every good wish for the coming year.

Christmas is not a time nor a season but a state of mind.
To cherish, peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
~ Calvin Coolidge

So lucky that we have family home for Christmas and we will take time to remember our loved ones, who are not with us this year and we will miss them very much.

My heartfelt thanks to you all for coming to visit my blog and for all the encouraging notes you leave and for the smiles you have given me. 
I feel so lucky for all the wonderful blog friends I have met here, appreciate you all and everything you share and teach me.

hugs
Carolyn

  27. Hoping you and your family enjoyed a lovely Christmas.
    The prep always seems more daunting than the actual event itself!
    Our house was quiet today, celebrated everything on Christmas Eve...spent most of today in bed nursing a nasty cold. It will soon be gone and on with the new year.
    Wishing you a peaceful, happy 2015 Carolyn.
    All the best to you xo

  31. I hope you had the merriest Christmas, Carolyn. Your bear with the red bow made me smile because the girls put all my bears out this year and it was like a colony of bears at my house. My home is smaller than what I had before, and I kept telling them to put them away.......there was too many hehe. I love your holly plant, and your tree is so festive and pretty. I wish you peace today and always, sweet Carolyn.

    love,
    ~Sheri
