This year I didn't get as much done up for the house as I would have liked. Mind you the way we've been going I'm pretty lucky to have decided on couches for the great room, so Christmas will have to get a bit better treatment next year. We did what we could though. Our lovely log railing is perfect for white little lights, and I did manage to get some decorations up.
Whipped cream in beautiful bowls is a must at Christmas-time!
Never enough sparkley ornaments!
I loooooove white Christmas lights.
Growing up we followed Austrian tradition of celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve. We never grew up with Santa Claus, we grew up with the Christkindl coming on Christmas Eve, and as such we would read the story of the birth of Jesus, have a nice simple meal, open our presents, and go to mass on Christmas Eve. Christmas day we would usually go to spend with our Canadian "family" and friends, and have the whole big meal.
Of course some things change. Now Christmas at my parents house is a quiet affair, and we go snowshoeing with a group of neighbors on Christmas day. Which has transferred over to Keith and I loving to snowshoe during the holidays (although we haven't gotten out this season nearly as often as we'd like!).
We spent a quick and lovely few days up north visiting our family, and then came back home to spend a quiet Christmas eve and Christmas day in our own home with our woofs. It was sleepy and perfect.
I dearly hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.
