Merry Christmas 2015!




I love to look at every one's interpretation of Christmas.  All the textured neutral, silver and blue, silver and green, all white and modern, and countless other variations of different Christmas styles.  All so pretty and elegant and festive. But, because I love red so much, I always end up decorating with traditional red and green.

Red is so warm, so welcoming, so Christmas-y!

Here is all the jolly red that I have added to our family room.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and happy, peaceful New Year filled with good fortune!








Santa's plate full of goodies.  When I was little, finding a plate with half eaten cookies and crumbs up on the mantle Christmas morning was always proof-positive that he existed.
