Merry Christmas. For this post I decided to simply post things that are close to my heart this season.
Anything under a glass cloche. White pumpkins are the best outside of pink pumpkins. ;-)

Sterling silver with red accoutrements.
Our Home Teacher from our church gifted us with a huge canister of pistachios—my favorite nut.
Gift giving is not on our list anymore. I have every single thing I need and very few wants. But the beautiful wrapping on presents sends my heart aloft to heaven. *Sigh*...
Coconut cookies are my favorite ones outside of snickerdoodles. I loooooove coconut. Plus polka dots are one of my favorite patterns.
Little sugar cookies in pretty or unusual shapes set my heart aflutter. Plus having them pass my lips is a sense beyond description!
Family and snow scenes.
Hydrangeas are one of my top 3 favorite flowers.
Bright candy apple red pottery vases set me aglow also.
Silver glittered pine cones. Pink ones are beautiful, but the silver ones remind me mostly of the reason for this season—the Savior of mankind.

My Mom used to make Snickeerdoodles... They were the best!! Every once in a while I make a batch & give them to my brother. He always remembers how she made them too!!
ReplyDeleteWe too do not buy "things" for Christmas. After 41+ years of marriage what else could we want??? Oh yeah, good health & happiness!!
Merry, Merry Christmas!!

ReplyDeleteConnie, I LOVE all the same things as you! Much like you...I dont NEED anything, but beautifully wrapped gifts are such a special treat that warms my heart also. I LOVE the snow, farm & sled scene! Total picturesque! Thank you for visiting me. :) Holiday Hugs!! XO,Jenn
ReplyDeleteConnie, what a beautiful post this today. We too are not gifting this year except for our children and grandchildren. I have so much to be thankful for and I've been Blessed by my Lord and Savior to even think of shopping. My Christmas gift would be Peace and Love for our World, so I am sending you the gift of Love and Good Health for your family and friends. Love and Hugs, Pat
ReplyDeleteLoved all of these thoughts, Connie. What a great shot of those sleds, too, and it appears we like the same things. So if those pistachio nuts go missing, you won't have to travel far! ;-)
ReplyDeleteXO,
