A simple Christmas table from 2020

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and peaceful during what

 can be a very stressful time of the year.  I happened

on these pictures from a few years ago, I think it

 was of our Christmas Eve and Brunch table. and

 know if you are like me you are looking for table

 ideas probably at this juncture of the Christmas

 season, so thought I would just post them, for

the fun of it.

Not going to give a lot of explanation cause a picture is

 worth a thousand words, and because I really don't 

have the time anyway.!!  lol 

I think this tablescape took us from Christmas

eve dinner (traditionally Beef Stew and Coffee)

to Christmas Brunch and Christmas dinner.

and.................

When that happens and I don't have to change 

the tablecloth (due to the fact that it was still clean

 and nothing got on it) I feel it is a divine gift

from God, to this tired Momma!!  lol

Cause that is almost miraculous....lol

Anyway, you can tell that dishes, silverware

and napkins were what changed,  centerpiece

was the same other than positioning a lil

differently.

 

So there you have it...............

Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Thanks for coming by.......

and

Have a great week

Love, Hugs, and 

Christmas Blessings,

Nellie

Thankful Thursday December 9, 2021, Our Christmas foyer and living room 2021

 

 As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

Psalm 71:14 NIV

Seasons Greetings

Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well, and enjoying all your lovely 

decorating and Christmas time traditions. I am

about to finish up, Lord willing I am hoping for

today,  but will see what happens.

Pictures today are from Christmas Decorating 

 this year (2021).

So on with my Thankfuls............

#1

Thankful for Organic Bananas.....We never buy them but went to the store to get bananas and they were all out.  Bananas are a staple item for us,  and there was this huge area where they usually have them, and it was completely empty, and I was like WOW - must be supply chain problems.....anyway,  I was in the produce section and looking around and lo and behold they had a small amount of Organic Bananas in a different area, so that made me a happy and thankful girl..............

#2

Thankful for a great day with lil darling on Friday. We did schooling, and she helped me do some Christmas decorating, and she did a great job.  We also went for a wagon ride which always puts a smile on our face, and on some of our neighbors or passer byers face as well. We take her lil dog too, and Lola loves it as much as we do!  Then we came back and watched "The Christmas cookie challenge" on TV and she loved it,  but then she wanted to bake some cookies, but it was time for her to go home, so will have to wait till next time.

#3

Thankful that our electric bill was about $70 lower

 this month cause we haven't had to use our air or 

 heat very much.  Nice Surprise!

#4

Thankful we have been able to buy

almost all our Christmas gifts locally this year.

Our Foyer

#5 and 6

Thankful for times of reflection and what

it teaches you or reminds you of.  This

week I was reflecting back on my almost

70 years of life, and am very thankful

for how good the Lord has been to me

and my family, and how well he has taken

care of me, and my family even in some of

 the hardest times of life, and we have

 never done without anything we needed. 

 Such a comfort and reminder during

this crazy season of life.

#7

Thankful for this adorable rendition of the Christmas

story done by children. Put on by a church.

Click here to watch it.

I promise it will put a smile on your face.

#8

Thankful for Christmas music, and the joy that it brings to our hearts!

#9

Several nights of really beautiful sunset skies with lots of pinks.  Just Gorgeous!

#10

Thankful our friend is doing some better,  he had

a chest x-ray,  so no pneumonia,  PTL and he is

at least slowly improving.

#11

Thankful that everyone who was supposed to show

up to work in the house my Daughter is renovating/

decorating for a client,  showed up and are hard

at work, and also her hubby took off to help move

and put furniture together and just assist in any

way he can.  They had a whole room of things

she had been accumulating for this design project,

So they rented a truck so they could just move

it all at once.  He's so supportive!  Love that!

and she's very excited since this is her first

real client where she is doing the whole house.

#12

Thankful to have finally finished our Christmas

decorating.  Hubby helped me do the tree on

Thursday which made it go so much faster,

and we got it all packed away and it is a 

done deal, so now just totally enjoying

it all now.........It's a lot of work, but it is

worth it, and can't imagine Christmas 

without any decorations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that's it for Cozy Place today,

This is Christmas Edition #2.

Have a lovely and Peaceful rest of the week.

Thanks for coming by.

Love, Hugs and 

Christmas time Blessings,

Thankful Thursday December 2, 2021, Our Christmas mantle 2021

 

Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.

    Proverbs 15:30 NIV 

Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and decorating your hearts out. 

Love this time of the year and all and who it represents, Jesus's Birthday of course. I am finally at it, and really enjoying it,  but got tired and remembered I needed to do my post for today anyway.  So here I am! I started my decorating with our mantle, and really love how it came out.  Hope you get a kick out of it too.  The family room is finished,  except for our tree,  I do that after I finish everything else typically.

Pictures today are of our mantle for 2021.

So on with my Thankfuls.....

#1

Thankful for a very quiet and restful day after

all the preparation, fun and festivities of Thanksgiving.

The hardest thing we did all day was get the leftovers out

and back in the fridge.  LOL

Thankful for the "Christmas Cookie Challenge"

A fun series on Discovery + chanel.  We are really

enjoying it, and it has already made us in the mood

for Christmas..........lol

Thankful for our first Christmas movie of the

season " The Christmas candle" .  It was a very

good movie.

#4

Thankful that we just got all the furniture moved

around in the family room, and hubby put the

tree up while I made beef stew.  It has nothing

on it yet......but she's up!! lol  Decided not

to tackle anything else until Monday.

Thankful for a few days of rest on Thursday

and Friday, feeling much more energetic today.

Thankful for fun Christmas traditions that

mine with equal amounts of half n' half.

several new Christmas cards for our shop

Thankful for a good day at church, being

Thankful for a lovely interview with our

Florida's First Lady done by the Epoch

few months that she has breast cancer

and she is getting treatment.  Pray for

her if you feel so led,  they have a lot

on their plate with her hubby being

Governor of Florida and they have

3 small children.

See it here if you'd like.
