Christmastime Is Here

Christmas Tea with my girls hosted by Madison






Cozy time at home with my family








And simple additional ways to bring joy and peace this Christmas.


~ Calling a friend who is alone to wish them Merry and Blessed Christmas

~ Drinking a cup of cocoa or Twinings Christmas tea by the tree

~ Playing a cozy Christmas scene with music on YouTube in the evening

~ Making Chef Boyardee pizza or ordering pizza in for an easy dinner

~ Watching lesser-known Christmas classics as a family before bed

Have a cozy Wednesday, my friends.
Keep an eye on the weather, and be safe!

  1. Everything looks so nice! Are those vintage Christmas cards? I love them. Oooh, Scrabble. I've always struggled with that game. lol I like to think I'm fairly intelligent but then I try to play Scrabble. Oh my gosh, Nestor the Long Eared Donkey made me cry SO HARD when I was young!!!! His mother . . . *sobbing*

    Have a great Christmas!

  5. Your afternoon tea sounds delightful. I also love your Christmas tree tablecloth! I cannot believe Christmas is only four days away. Wow! It's almost here. Your home looks so warm, cozy and festive. I love the dried orange garland. I've always wanted to make one for myself. I'll put that on next years list! Merry Christmas, dear friend!

  9. LOVE the idea of tea...and I was thrilled when a friend invited me to her house for afternoon tea tomorrow. Your idea is catching on...we need to bring more of those sweet, old-fashioned ideas back! Your photos are magazine-worthy, it just looks like a wonderful time, thanks for inspiring us all with your family gatherings. So so glad to have discovered your blog, Mary

  14. I enjoy drinking tea as it is better than coffee for me. Never did like coffee years ago before new flavors came out. Nope...less caffeine in teas than coffee. I need to drink something soon as I am thirsty. Been a bit busy at home and trying to stay warm. It's freezing outside and now there is ice and some snow. Low 20 degree range here in our spot in Oregon. Will see how good it will be to go to work tomorrow even though it's not too far to drive. Merry Christmas to you and family!

  15. Oh, I watched Nestor, it was delightful as ever. The Christmas tea with the girls sounds wonderful. You know, my sister used to have those oranges and cloves in her house all the time, and her kitchen smelled so nice. I like how you added ribbon to yours. The tree ornament with the words is beautiful. And a very special list to bring joy to others at Christmastime. So many are without families and lonely this time of year.

    Blessings to you, Billie Jo.
