Christmas at My House

My front door, from the inside

The look of Christmas in our home is, for me, about warmth, a haven from the cold, a place to share a hot toddy on a cold New England night.  It is always about making my family and those who come to visit feel as though I decorated just for them, because, in fact, I did.  I hope you enjoy this peek...

It is tradition in my house to do my dining room differently every year.  My girls always look forward to what is to come.  Now that makes a mom feel good.

 

And who can deny the dog a picture, when he's dressed with his own jingle bell?  And below are my daughter's chocolate-pepermint cupcakes.  I'd be lying if I said I don't dance a jig that my daughter loves to bake :)

This Christmas season, we are all feeling heartache for the families in Connecticut whose joy will be diminished, and whose decorations and celebrations may feel empty.  And so I pray, and I hope you'll join me, that the light of the Christ child will guide their way through, just as it did for their loved ones on Friday.

Many blessings to you and yours this week before Christmas,
Carol
