Home at Christmas time...

I'm standing in the laundry room looking into the kitchen and beyond...One of my most treasured possessions...a set of Christmas china handed down to me from Mom from the 1950's which we ate on at Christmas time...
All the gifts are wrapped and ready to take to daughter's Christmas Eve party and gift exchange...
Holly china that Mom bought for me in the 1980's...displayed on my baker's rack...
I would love to stay and chat with you...but...somebody has made a horrible mess in my kitchen and I get to clean it all up...after it's all clean, there's more treats to make to take to daughter's Eve and Christmas Day parties!
MERRY CHRISTMAS from The Gates to All You Darlings! Chat with you later...drive safe...stay safe...be safe...

Favorite Ornaments...

This has been MY ornament since, I do believe, 1959...in perfect condition.Bought this in 1982 @ a craft sale...always has been on my tree.
Love all my cardinal ornaments...this one has tons of sparkley on it.
This "G" is in perfect eye range for hubby to look at while he's in his recliner
A very sparkley snowflake that flitters with light against my white tree lites.
What are your favorite ornaments? We'll chat about that later...
