Where will you be spending the holidays? My aunt Anne is visiting and it's so nice to have her around. She lives
and works in Brussels , one of my favourite European cities. So I'll be spending Christmas with my family and lovely auntie.Christmas after all is all about family. Isn't it?
How cheery are these Christmas little ornaments. You could keep them up all year!
Pretty little candles.
Have a fabulous Holiday, my darlings! No matter how you spend it, may it be filled with joy and delights. xx

Hi bestie! I love your decorations - they are SO CUTE! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas. I'm sorry about the loss of your dad a few days before Christmas 3 years ago - I'm sure it's a very tough time for you during the holidays. My friend back home just lost her dad 2 days ago, so it's been really sad around here too due to that loss.
ReplyDeleteHave a very safe trip my friend and I'm so glad we've gotten to know each other so much in 2010 and look forward to 2011 and what it holds.
Lots of love and hugs - safe travels and Merry Christmas doll!

My heart goes out to you over your loss - my nana died mid December and my grandad Christmas Eve so I know how you feel.

Betty , as always your pics are a treat for the eyes but I am sorry to hear about your Dad and I liked what you shared .its indeed imp to celebrate his life and remember him for all his goodness..I hope you find peace my friend ..
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best always ..
Mahon, hello and welcome; and thank you so much for your most generous comments. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great Xmas!
Dear Betty, my dad died two years ago, last September, by falling off a neighbor's roof at the age of 81. I think of him often, and Christmas is still much a part of that.
ReplyDeleteLove is a sign that we are made for eternity in which love will find its completeness. The best and longest loves are incomplete and death seems accentuate our incompleteness. I believe that part of the beatific vision in heaven, and in the life eternal, will be to see for ourselves the completion and perfection of all our loves rooted in the perfect and infinite love of God.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures. Hope you have a blessed Christmas!
ReplyDeleteDear Betty, your photos are beautiful and lovely and inviting. I feel as though I have just visited with you. And I so wish you the warmest most delightful Christmas filled with cheer and joy... and gifts. After all, gifts do make us smile, don't they? ;-)
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy your time with your Aunt. Time spent in the company of loved ones is the most precious of time.
Hugs,
Nevine
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours Betty!

All your ornaments and decorations are beautiful, Betty! I always enjoy your photos.
ReplyDelete(((hugs))) to you as you remember your Dad this Christmas. My parents have both been gone for many, many years (36 & 40) and I still think of them with a tinge of sadness during the holidays.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends, Betty!!
Have a wonderful Christmas, sweet Betty. I'm sorry that it's a sad time, as it is for so many, but your upbeat spirit always shines through. I'm very glad for our blog connection.

Betty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Holiday Post. Yes, Christmas is all about family. I feel the same. Enjoy your Aunt! I am headed north from me (about 3 hours) to spend the holiday weekend w/ my Mom, StepDad, Bro & Sis & my Aunt will be visiting. Baking & cooking together = fun times!
(I also wanted to say, your previous post was lovely & touched my heart.. I lost my father in October 24 yrs ago. The Holiday Season is hard for my fam., but I do believe in sharing memories & remembering those we lost. Big Hugs to you!)
Beautiful decorations and ornaments, your house looks so cheerful. It is all about family, no question there.
ReplyDeleteWe will be staying home. Our college girl flew back to Anchorage today to spend Christmas with her boyfriend and his family. We celebrated the holiday while she was here, it was a wonderful time.
Wishing you a happy and magical holiday Betty.
Hugs,
Judy
Betty, I lost my dad two days after Christmas in 1983. The first few Christmases after were very sad but then I remembered how much he loved the holiday season. He would have been upset to think he spoiled the holiday for me.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Judy
I love your Christmas decorations and I thank you for sharing these happy photos with us.
