Best Time of the Year

By Cyndi – Posted on January 15, 2025January 27, 2025

Christmas is the Best Time of the Year and Here’s Why

Not only is Christmas the best time of the year it is also the most wonderful time of the year. Here’s why.

During the Christmas season we get to experience the presence of more love. This special kind of sincere love seems to appear more than any other time of this e year because it does. The love is real.

In the midst of this joyful season hearts are warmer. People are more loving. Hearts more giving. Spirits are sweeter and good cheer spreads from one heart and home to another. We are merrier and brighter.

Every year at Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, we look forward to the joys, sounds and songs of this sensational season.

Hearing the jingle of the b-e-double-l-s we smile. Shopping for family, baking cookies, making candy and cooking the most delicious mouth-watering dishes to scape our tables are those activities that we look forward to every year during the most loving time of the year.

Do you hear what I hear. Love is coming around again. Christmas 2025 is coming to a home near you.

Tis the season to be jolly, happy and thankful.

Let’s Decorate for Christmas

It’s Time To Decorate the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Christmastime!

Let's Decorate The Christmas Season

Good Day Christmas Luminaries.

Christmas is right around the corner and I’ll be ready when it arrives. I’m ready for the decorating to begin. Are you with me?

Let’s decorate the Christmas season together.

Are you ready to decorate for Christmas? I know I am.

If you’re ready or getting ready, please stay and join me and let’s get started brightening our homes with all things Christmas.

First things first.

I have a gold basket that I fill with white lights. To that design and my family’s delight I’ll add red and gold bulbs. I love this creation because it lights up my entire living room when I turn off the lights at night. The lights in the basket are bright to lend just the right ambiance for the space.

Secondly I will decorate my coffee table. I will add a lovely Christmas runner and build on it. I’ll be adding a gold tray with the perfect pop of colors. Purple and red Christmas ornaments will complement this one of a kind Christmas design.

From there I’ll decorate my sofa table with my gold reindeer large and small. I’ll also add lights to this table with green garland.

I’ll also be showcasing my cute little gingerbread couple and all of my Christmas signs.

Beautiful Christmas Decorations Warm the Heart Morning, Noon and Bright

My living room is where I spend most of my time throughout the holiday season. I will be adding a multitude of lights on my window sill of my picture window and I cannot wait.

When the decorating begins I’ll be playing songs of the season and to name a few will be Jingle Bells, It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Holy Night.

Now starting in October, the 15th to be exact, the Christmas decorating will begin. I plan to take photos to post so that you can see how it all ties together.

Please visit often so that you can see my lovely Christmas decor.

Thank you for stopping by.

Merry Christmas.

Christmas Shopping, Wrapping and Baking

Welcoming the Sounds and Joys of the Christmas Season

Enjoying the love of the Christmas season

Can you believe that I have started my Christmas shopping. There are about six more gifts that I have to purchase and I will be finished. The goal is for me to have my shopping done by August 30.

Here’s how I shop. First, I look for sales. I also try my best to get free shipping on every item that I purchase, but it has to be worth it. Sometimes you have to use more money in order to get free shipping. If I have to buy something that is of no use to me just to get free shipping then it doesn’t make sense for me to use more money just to get free shipping if that makes any sense.

Let’s Go Christmas Shopping

My youngest son is a huge Lakers fan. He loves Kobe so every year at Christmas I try my best to find Lakers gear for him. This year I have found some really good sales.

Fanatics, NBA Store and Lakers stores are my go to for finding the best items. I usually shop for sweatpants, sweatshirts and hats.

This year I signed up with Nike and have found some unbelievable sales. Nike’s quality is top notch and I love how they design their clothes. My son loves anything Nike. Their clothing is the finest quality and they last forever.

Next up on my Christmas list is my oldest son. It’s extremely hard to buy for him. He loves a really good smelling cologne. This year I’ll get him a nice scented cologne that’s not hard on my nose! LOLLLL

Christmas gift cards are also a nice gift. I’m thinking about getting him a few gift cards as well.

And then there’s my two daughters. I have yet to decide on their gifts. I will have it figured out by the weekend.

Christmas Shopping For All My Loves

Enjoying the Love of the Christmas Season

I will purchase a few small items for my husband. He’s not hard to please whatsoever. Maybe a nice cologne or some sweatpants, but I’ll see what’s out there for him.

When Saturday rolls around I’ll have a Christmas wrapping party all by myself. I’ll bake some brownies and enjoy the beautiful ambiance. I’m getting an early jump start on Christmas this year. I want to be able to sit back and relax during the months of November and December. I am going to need a little me time to regroup and just enjoy the Christmas holidays.

What are your plans for Christmas shopping, wrapping and baking. I’d love to hear your plans.

Merry Christmas,

Cyndi
