The quiet bit in the middle
One set of lights have already blown on my tree, but we’re still looking festive. Just a quick round-up of the neighbours… the photo above is for Colline.

And, of course, beautiful cards!
That sum’s it up, doesn’t it? Hope you had a good Christmas and are looking forward to a new year. I’m just going to pop in on Cate at Six Word Saturday. See you soon!
This suggests warmth too. You wouldn’t like it here right now. We are snowbound with -20 Celsius.

You have featured some great lights and fun spots here. I always like jolly snowmen and the cute, festive candles were a treat. They reminded me of my Mom’s candles of Santa and Frosty. I also wished to tell you your red mushrooms/toadstools made me smile! My oldest daughter is someone who likes unusual things, but also loves fairies and trolls. This was a great post, Jo! Got big smiles on my face, my dear!

Thanks for sharing the beautiful lights, Jo! We took down all of our inside decorations today. Since I put them up in early November, I’m ready for them to come down. Happy New Year! We’ll be spending a quiet evening at home, just the way I like it. I don’t care to be out on the roads on NYE. xo

I haven’t been asked to any parties, Debbie 😦 (yet, anyway 🙂 ) I suppose I could throw one but it’s more tempting to open the bottle of port. Oh, to be somewhere warm 🙂
