May your days be sunny and bright, may all your Christmases be white.
I wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Frohe Weihnachten, Buon Natale, and Feliz Navidad.
For those that celebrate Hanukkah, best wishes for the holiday.
May each of you have a holiday filled with joy and happiness. I hope that you get to share these good times with family and friends.
From our home to yours, I wish you all the best during this joyous season.

And here’s right back to you, Karen. It’s doubtful that our Christmas will be white, so I’m going for merry!
Hi Lulu, I hope it will be very merry indeed.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Have a Wonderful Holiday!
Merry Christmas Robin. Have a wonderful holiday as well.
Stunning photo!
A very Merry Christmas to you, Karen!
Thank you Sue. Our home seems to glow when it is surrounded with snow. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas! Stay warm, enjoy the holiday and be merry!
All my best to you as well, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Karen. Your home looks beautiful in the snow. Enjoy your white Christmas. Although I’m in Canada, it looks like we’re getting a brown Christmas this year, but as I write this on Christmas Eve there is breathtaking golden sunshine streaming through the windows and that puts me in the Christmas spirit too!
Thank you Marlene. Bright sunshine is most welcomed in winter. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Happy Holidays, Karen!
The same to you, Amy.
So pretty.. we both like yellow homes:)All the very best to you
Thank you Monique, we do both like yellow houses. Yellow always brings a smile to my face. I hope you will have a wonderful Christmas with your lovely family.
Merry Christmas Karen from sunny, hot Perth. We’ll be heading to the beach tomorrow before enjoying a seafood lunch with the family! Enjoy your white Christmas in your beautiful home
Merry Christmas to you as well, Jenny. A seafood lunch at the beach sounds wonderful.
There’ll be no white Christmas in these parts this year — and me with a new snow-blower just itching to get out there and get to work! In due time, I’m sure. I hope you and your loved ones have a bright & beautiful Christmas, Karen. Buon Natale!
Buon Natale to you John. My snow blower just got put on my garden tractor last week. I hope that you don’t get too much use out of your snow blower. All my best.
Merry Christmas Karen!
I am always so fascinated by your beautiful home! I would be honoured to have a walk around it – you never know, just maybe one day, I could make it to your side of the world.
🙂 Mandy
Merry Christmas Mandy and thank you for the lovely comment. Our side of the world waits with open arms.
White sounds like fun. Ours is warm and wet. Have a great Christmas!
Buon Natale Debra. I hope the skies clear soon and that you have a wonderful holiday season.
Merry Christmas! Peace and Joy to you and yours! 🙂
Merry Christmas, Judy. Have a wonderful holiday.
What a beautiful photo, Karen! We have the ‘bright’ this morning! The sun is shining in all its glory – almost makes you squint! Have a wonderful Christmas season!
Thank you Phyllis, for your nice compliment. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Merry Christmas to you too. I’m afraid it shall be a green Christmas in Toronto!
I have just received the Versatile Blogger Award again and I am nominating you as a recipient. Congratulations!
Merry Christmas Eva and thank you for your gift of the Versatile Blogger Award. I too have already received this award but it is always a thrill when a blogger thinks highly of another blogger. I hope you have a great Christmas.

Is that your house?!? I love the photo. It would be fantastic on a Christmas card. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hi Celi, Thank you for the compliment about our house. It really is pretty this time of the year…it is so sunny looking with the snow around it. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well.
You forgot Sweden! “God Jul” 😀 Merry Christmas Karen, and I have to say (again… I think I say it a lot) – Damn, your house is beautiful. It looks like something out of a greetings card 🙂

Merry Christmas from no-so-sunny Florida. What a beautiful house! I miss those snowy Christmas mornings 🙂
Merry Christmas Mary. Sorry that sunny Florida wasn’t sunny today. There is something nice about it being cold enough for a nice sweater and a little crunchy snow under foot.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, to you too.
Thank you for your wishes, Sukanya.
My grandmother always said that everyone should have a yellow house. Yours is beautiful indeed. Hope you have had a wonderful holiday!

Thank you Laura, for your nice compliment. I hope you had a wonderful day.
If only it was a white one, t’was in a few lucky places but not in the UK. Even looking further afield into Europe it was also a green one.
Best Wishes and hope you had a good Christmas.
Tony Powell
Hi Tony, Thank you for visiting my blog. What a difference…we were in Europe for Christmas the last two years and there was a lot of snow. We did have a lovely Christmas and I hope you did as well.
The photo is just stunning! I’m this close to jumping in the car and driving North! Hope you are enjoying a beautiful Christmas holiday!

Beautiful home (although MANY others have said it!) and I’m jealous of your snow. Not much to speak of in Ohio. Hope you & yours had a very Merry Christmas!
Hi Ashley, Thank you for your lovely compliment. We are lucky to live in our historic home which we think is very beautiful. If you could have seen it when we bought it, you might be like others that thought we were a little crazy. We have restored it back to its glory and I’m so happy that others like it as much as we do.
That is a beautiful picture!! Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!
