The quiet bit in the middle
With just a hint of sparkle
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.
Remember these guys from last year?
And here I go, spying on the neighbours!
Santa comes in all shapes and sizes
Like this old friend on my mantlepiece
And there’s always a snowman or two
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.
I would HATE it! I loath snow, no matter how pretty. I love it for 10 minutes- end of story!
WP have gazumped my walk post again this week! It’s down after this one? Maybe they don’t like me? I’ll live 🙂 🙂
What do you mean? What happened?
It doesn’t appear in chronological order so anyone coming to the blog won’t see it unless they keep scrolling.
How do they do that? It never happened to me :S Don’t let it stop you from walking, Jo. And you should go to forum and report the mess…
No idea but it’s the second time 😦 No worries! Sleep well 🙂
Ok, but let them know ….
I am thinking about joining the Six Word Saturday. Got to figure it out first. 🙂
Like me, you’ll probably struggle to keep it to 6 words, but nobody seems to mind 🙂
I guess we won’t be banned. lol Just another thing to do for the New Year. 🙂
Thanks for spreading the Christmas cheer. So festive!
It’s been colourful around the doors this year and I’m a sucker for reindeer and snowmen (but not with real snow 🙂 )
I love the decorations Jo 🙂
Those were the ones you remarked upon before 🙂 Happy New Year, Colline!
Happy New Year, Jo!
And to you, sir 🙂
Girlfriend – there can never be to much Christmas lights …. only too much Christmas. And what a beautiful card!!!!
My cards all sit around my Delft rack and most years I take a few photos of them. Nice memories of friends 🙂
What a great idea … I same mine in a box … but I have never gone through the box. I love Christmas Cards.
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!
Not much more opportunity to post this kind of thing, Robin 🙂 Glad you liked them.
WOW – Such beautiful and joy of Christmas!
Special wishes for a Christmas, that brighten you destiny
May the moon of the Christmas season spread the Christmas cheers
Have a Merry Christmas with full of cheer and Happiness! unique and colorful Christmas wishes for you peoples!
Thank you, Mihran 🙂 What a lovely response!
I hope that 2015 is a wonderful year for you and your family.
Lovely photo’s Jo! Wishing you a happy, healthy and travel filled year ahead!
Ooh, that’s exactly what I wish myself, Tonya 🙂 Thank you so much for your company and very best wishes for 2015.
There are lots of lights in your neighbourhood – it looks extremely festive. 😉
More every year, it seems! 🙂 I do love it, but our house doesn’t have much sparkle (well, only inside, so you have to look in the window 🙂 )
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
Mine didn’t go up till mid- December, Jill, and they usually stay till after New Year’s. My fairy lights on the tree are all that gets me up these dark mornings 🙂
Very best wishes to you for 2015, hon.
Looks very festive, by British standards. 🙂
I think we’re getting better at it 🙂
What a colourful neighborhood. May your new year be as bright as those lights!
Many thanks, Keith 🙂 That would be good!
Some great sparkles Jo. Hope you had a great Christmas. No big parties planned for New Year but I’m looking forward to getting on with the new year.
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 🙂
Beautiful lights. This time has been relaxing.
A huge gift when you work for a living, Mlissabeth. 🙂
And a very happy new year.
Thanks, darlin’! And to you and yours 🙂
