Let The Festivities Begin

Fall and Christmas Festivities

Hello Christmas Luminaries,

This week my spirit has been filled with the feeling of Christmas.

I went to Hobby Lobby looking for Christmas and my oh my, I found Christmas. Yes, I found Christmas at every turn. I got so excited and wanted to stay there all day long. It was amazing seeing all of the autumn and Christmas decor. The shelves were abundant and the vibrant and bright colors popped!

There was an enormous variety of fall decorations and the Christmas trees were covered with multi-colored lights as well as with white lights.

I took pictures and made a few videos to share with you. To say that I was beyond excited to see all of this festive beauty in one space is putting it mildly.

Autumn and Christmas Decorations

Fall and Christmas Festivities

We are just a few short weeks away from the Fall season and I’ll be ready. I’m not sure if I’ll be covering my home from top to bottom with fall or if I will just add a few touches of Autumn here and there. As much as I love the season, Christmas is and always will be my first love. Last year I added a few pieces of fall which did not stay up long because I went crazy for Christmas. It literally flooded my thoughts and I found myself decorating my entire house from top to bottom, from to back.

Also, I bought a flocked tree for the first time in my life. My family and I have always had a real or live tree, but we decided to buy a flocked tree in 2023. It was so pretty. I purchased it from King of Christmas and I was not disappointed even though I could have decorated it a lot more. White lights came with the tree and I added red bulbs. This year I will add a lot more Christmas ornaments to make it really beautiful.

During the fall and Christmas seasons I look forward to celebrating my own unique and personalized fall and Christmas festivities because I look forward to more love, to give and to share all that my heart tells me to.

As I get ready for the holiday season, I hope that you, too, will personalize your holidays and enjoy every second of the season!

Merry Christmas to all,

Christmas Is Coming

By Cyndi – Posted on July 29, 2024July 29, 2024

Season’s Greetings, Christmas Luminaries,

Welcome to Christmas in my home

Christmas in my home

Can you believe Christmas is right up the road. I am so excited I cannot wait to put up my Christmas tree and decorate my entire house from top to bottom for this joyous holiday season!

Here’s how I plan to decorate my home this year.

Every year at Christmas I create a theme for the most wonderful time of the year. This year my theme will be gold reindeer and beautiful Christmas angels. My color palette will be the Christmas tradition that I grew up with and simply love which is red and green with a little bit of gold mixed in.

Starting at the front door I will add a lovely traditional Christmas wreath. Should you enter into my home physically or by your imagination, you will see two gold reindeer comfortably nesting in my warm candle lit living room. To this gorgeous display I will also be adding red hurricanes, by Valerie Parhill, that I purchased on QVC. They are simply gorgeous.

Christmas Is Coming and I’ll Be Ready

In addition to all of this Christmas wonder, stringed white lights will accompany the greenest garland joyfully laid across the window sill for beauty and splendor. This window brings a lot of light into my home.

Last year I bought a cute little gingerbread couple that I found on QVC so I will be sure to put them out for a conversation piece. I got them on sale for a really great price.

A few years ago I purchased Luminara candles, a special collection from, again, QVC. They will go on my coffee table up against the wall in my great room. They will add a soft light affect throughout my home this Christmas.

It won’t be long before Christmas in my home will come to life. I am truly looking forward to Christmas 2024 and as I countdown the days until Christmas I will be dreaming of this special holiday season and enjoying the love that it brings.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Christmas Eve In Our Home

A Toast To Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve in our home

Christmas Eve In Our Home

It’s Christmas Eve and our home is festive and overflowing with love. The fireplace is warm and we are all sitting in comfy-cozy.

Dinner was delicious and dessert scrumptious. The dark chocolate brownies warmed our palettes and hot cocoa comforted every inch of our spirits.

Andy Williams sang to us and now it’s time to watch Home Alone before we all head up to bed.

Reflecting on Christmas past, we are always thankful for all the times that we gathered together to create those memorable moments that we love.

We love this very special time of year. Christmas illumines our hearts and clothes us with love. Forever grateful we will be.

As the night slowly comes to a close, we remember those who are no longer here in physically, but always near in memory.

It’s time for bed now. Christmas Eve is quiet. It is serenity and peace sprinkled with good cheer.

We kneel to pray to thank God for this beautiful day that has now turned into night. Never in darkness we are surrounded by the Light that makes Christmas so very special both day and night.

Merry Christmas to all and to all be blessed by the Light.

Cyndi
