Twas the night before Christmas
Family are home for the holidays, the card writing, baking and shopping has all been done.
The wrapping of gifts are under the Christmas tree, so now we will wait until tomorrow, one more sleep to go.
I always love this time of the year when everything is calm and quiet and you are now able to relax and enjoy the season and be with loved ones. The smells wafting from the kitchen today have been wonderful - glazed ham, the terrine my husband cooked, and I have just baked a pavlova and will make a trifle soon.
Enjoy some good food and watch a few Christmas movies. Here are a few photos taken around our house
Love the warm glow of candles, always gives a romantic and cozy light around the room
I hope your holidays are merry and bright!
Have a wonderful time with your family and friends. I just want to say a big thank you for your kind friendship and know how much each one of you mean to me. Grateful for you visiting my blog and leaving kind comments, and I always love to go and visit you and see all the wonderful things you share on your blogs, thanks again
Merry Christmas
hugs
Carolyn

Bonnes fetes to you all. Agree about the calmness, after a week of running around like a crazy person it is nice to have a couple of hours to think about what I need to do next :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's the most wonderful time of year, Carolyn. Your home is so charming filled with all the things you love and cherish. Your tree is so pretty. Mine was a small one this year, but loved it just the same. That is such a cute picture of the cloves in the orange. I smiled because my mom used to give us oranges in our stockings every year. Thank you for your friendship, Carolyn. You are one of my sweetest blog friends of all.
