Merry Christmas!!!

I am so excited my favorite day of the year, Christmas Eve is here!

The day of anticipation of what is to come!

MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR FRIENDS!

Christmas at 1515

Another great early Christmas at 1515

I did not get the aluminum tree up, just never enough time! But in Nov the twins and I went to a Vintage Market and I got a baby tree.

the picture in the back is my Grandmother in a ice storm.

I think it turned out ok on my vanity, loved the reflection of it in the mirror

I did the kitchen in November

of course...Christmas Pyrex!

my Christmas aprons

Kitchens seem to be my favorite rooms at Christmas

I think of all the Holiday meals my Grandmother made in her kitchen and using her Hoosier Cabinet

We put the tree up in November too

fake but with all vintage shiny brites it looks good

the dining room set up for the party

my cousin in Seattle always sends a beautiful centerpiece!

put the Fostoria to good use

and did we have a crowd! 28 all mostly cousins with the exception of 6.

Yes some are distant cousins but cousins from my Mom and Dad both.

In a small town, they all know each other anyway and look forward to seeing everyone.

the dining room has seen many Christmas dinner, 1943

and Mr came for the 1st time! Visiting with cousin Fred

I put a tree up in my Dad's boyhood bedroom too.

blue

 shiny brites

Pictures of the cousins with Santa are displayed.

 Yes the colored ones are of me.

love my vintage Christmas items I display there, want to see?

all vintage

cousin Mary gave me the Santa sleigh this year for Christmas, I love it!

And then my Santa's on my Great Uncle shelf

Being there for a week was wonderful

We made cookies

Even went to see Christmas show

Always have loved the Big Bad Voodoo Daddys

Could not believe they were in Charleston!

wonderful Christmas show!

Of course home is decorated too

the new LED lights are bright!

Mr even did the sheds for me

Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
