Welcome
It Smells Like Christmas...
​
Orange slices, apple slices, whole cloves,cinnamon sticks and spruce sprigs...my favorite childhood memories of Christmas fragrance.

Christmas
I get excited when it comes to the Christmas season. I basically love everything...the decorations (indoor and outdoor decor), the baking, stuffing the turkey, the Christmas wrapping, tree shopping and the holiday music playing in the background. I especially love the smells of Christmas, the sugary sweet baking and savory hints of thyme, sage and rosemary.
Our little family is growing and our grand kids make Christmas mornings extra special now! It’s such an exciting time of the season with family and friends!
​
My mother made everything so special during the Christmas season from her simple but beautiful decorations to her delicious homemade traditional meals and goodies! I want to do the same and carry on these special traditions for my family and hope they treasure and value every magical moment of Christmas as much as I do!
Christmas
December begins with Christmas decorating indoors and outdoors. While decorating our country home, I enjoy listening to holiday music playing softly and quietly in the background. Music from the days when Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole were so popular.
A sentimental instrument, the fiddle, once belonging to my father is treasured and played by my oldest daughter, Adrianna! A lovely keepsake to keep my father's spirit and memory alive. My father was very musical and had a special gift to the fiddle. He was also very musically inclined and could play almost any instrument from a guitar to an organ. He loved music so much and introduced his love of music to our souls. His passion for music will be forever cherished and treasured to all of us!
