Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Karen! I love your beautiful home and often thought pale yellow would be my first choice if we ever changed ours.
Hi Susan, I do love our yellow house…this is the second one we have had. There is nothing more enjoyable than driving up to it on a grey day and to be greeted by its warm and inviting color. Thank you for your wish. I hope you will have a wonderful Christmas and New Year as well.

Thank you, Karista…the same to you and your family.
Have a lovely Christmas! Your house looks so perfectly Christmas-y, right down to the icicles. It looks like it was shot on a beautiful day, too.
Hi Siobhan, I think there is nothing prettier than a winter day when the sun is out and makes the snow and icicles sparkle. It is like Mother nature decorating the glitter. Thank you for your nice comment and wishes. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
Hi Carine, Thank you for taking the time to visit and your nice wish. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Hi Karen,

*hugs*

Thank you so much Gary, for your lovely compliment. Enjoy spending the holidays with your family in Brisbane…that sounds wonderful. Is wonton preparation involved in your celebrations?
I’m not sure about wonton. I think we’ll be keeping it simple
Whatever you have, I’m sure it will be terrific. Enjoy the time with your family.
Your picture looks like a post card. Hope you enjoy your celebration!
Thank you Southern, for your nice compliment and wish. Everything was perfect when I took the photo…sun, no clouds in the sky and fluffy white snow. I hope you will have a lovely Christmas as well.

When I see icicles (even though your house is beautiful) I think triple glazing!
Hi Johnny, Thank goodness for a modern heating system as our windows are very old…even have the wavy glass with bubbles in them. Thank you for your wish…I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year as well.
Your house decorated for Christmas is just stunning. It’s like something out of a picture book. Merry Christmas to you and all your family, Karen xx
Thank you Charlie, for your lovely compliment. Our home does remind you of something you might see in a story book or on an old Christmas card. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas…I know it will be warm.

What amazing snow! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas
Thank you Mad Dog, I’m glad that you enjoyed the photo of our home. One nice thing about living in a rural area is that when it snows, it stays pristine and white. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Actually, knowing you, I know it will be terrific.
Oh, how pretty! Your house looks so festive and beautiful. Merry Christmas Karen! I hope 2013 brings you much love and happiness.

Merry Christmas to you too and a Healthy, Happy New Year!!!!!
Thank you Norma. I hope you will enjoy the holidays as well.
Happy Christmas Eve and Holidays Karen. Whilst your home looks like a Christmas card it is around 65 degrees F here in Nashville and a bit rainy and dark…so I look at your home in the snow and sigh! But inside my home it is cozy and warm and Christmasy and I am soon to start baking and getting ready for family to arrive and all is well regardless of the weather. Have a very Happy Holiday.
Hi Teresa, No matter the weather outside, I know that your house will be filled with Christmas smells and laughter soon. Have a lovely Christmas. Thank you for your nice wish.
Gorgeous! Merry Christmas to you, too!
Thank you Sheila, for your compliment and Christmas wish…the same to you.

Thank you Mary, for your wish for Christmas. I hope you and your family have a wonderful one as well.
Merry Christmas! Be safe!
Hi Chunklet, Thank you for your nice wish. I hope you will have a wonderful Christmas too.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Once again (I know I’ve said if before) your yellow home is so cheery!! We are expecting nearly a foot of snow here after midnight so all our celebrating with others will be this evening and then home for several days because, as you know, the Central Southern U.S. is not prepared for 2 inches of snow – much less a foot!
Thank you for your Christmas wish, Kelli. Oh my…New Hampshire is used to snow and a foot at one time is a lot, please take care. I always stay in after a snow storm until the roads have all been cleared.
Thank you Karen, and wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy and joy filled new year x
I appreciate you wish, Claire. All the best to you in the new year.
Beautiful picture and thoughts – Merry Christmas Karen!

Mary
Hi Mary, I’m glad you enjoyed this post. We had a lovely Christmas…I hope you did as well.
Picture perfect New England Christmas! Have a great holiday!
Thank you Helen, for your nice comment. New England is beautiful all covered in snow at this time of the year.
Your house looks like a perfect Christmas Card photo! Very impressive and I love the decorations on both floors too! The icicles hanging from the roof look magical too
btw Do New England houses not have rain gutters and downpipes?
Hi Kiwidutch, I have to agree with you about our house looking like a Christmas card with the snow all around and icicles hanging from the roof. I’m glad that you enjoyed the photos of the inside from the previous posts, as well. Rain gutters and downpipes can cause lots of problems in the parts of New England that get lots of snow. They can cause ice dams that will create roof leaks. Even without them, there are worries about ice dams.
You can tell I never encounter weather that causes “ice dams” LOL that’s even a new phrase for me
Now that I’ve learned that ice dams exist, it entirely logical why you wouldn’t want to have gutters and down pipes. The inside of your home is stunning, I loved the photos
Believe me…I had no idea about ice dams before I move to New England from Florida. Thank you again, for your lovely compliment about our home and your visit.
LOL – we have gutters and extended downspouts (or else we might have water in the basement) and until we actually purchased a roof rake, and actually use it after a big snow, we had lots of trouble with ice dams on the shady side of the roof – ugh!
Hi Carol, Oh yes…ice dams on the shady side of the house. We haven’t had a real problem with them this year but last year they were terrible.
