Christmas Night..

Just a few more minutes, and it will be all over...

...the wonderful feelings, sights and sounds that accompany this most beautiful of all holidays....holy days...

I have been busy hosting my family for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day......at last with five minutes to midnight...all alone in the serenity of a quiet, candlelit kitchen, I am finally posting my wishes to all of you...

May you be filled with love, gratitude and everything that makes your heart happy....

My son Marty, with his new puppy, Bella...a pure bred malamute. She has taken over our home and our hearts, as you can see! The best Christmas present....

Merry, merry Christmas ! N.xo

  1. Happy Holidays Nella...I hope you are well.
    What a wonderful addition to the family, Bella is beautiful. She'll be a perfect co-pilot for Marty driving around in his pickup.
    The very best for 2014.

    I've enjoyed reading your posts this year & have really benefited from your gardening advice, but I'm especially grateful for your friendship. I hope the New Year brings you only the best.

    Love,

  7. Nella,
    There is something so special in grabbing some alone time to contemplate everything about Christmas. After all of the entertaining {not to mention the cooking}, it is a little gift to sit alone.
    I can't think of better spot to sit with candles glowing than in your beautiful kitchen - it really is the hub of your home.

    Wishing you fun, happiness and good health for the upcoming New Year.
    Hugs
    Katherine
