Joyous Wishes For The Holiday Season
the warmest wishes
for a holiday filled with
the warmth of home
the love of family
and the company of good friends
****
I hope you enjoy the pretty watercolor painting I have chosen for this year’s Christmas greeting. The Atkinson Congregational Church was built in 1835 in Atkinson, New Hampshire. I think it is a beautiful example of a typical New England church as it looks during the holiday season.
This lovely painting was given to me by a dear friend, Karen Baker, shortly before she passed away. Karen was my next door neighbor when I lived in Atkinson. I have sweet memories of the many holidays my husband and I spent with her and her warm and welcoming family over the years and cherish their friendship.
Home, family and friends are all true blessings and are so appreciated during this special time of the year. I wish to thank you for your friendship, it is the best gift I could receive.
With warm wishes,
Karen

Thank you for your wish, Nazneen and kind words. I’m happy to call you a friend. 🙂
beautiful art and sentiment. Merry Christmas!
.(And I hope you are not without power in the middle of a terrible ice storm as I write this. We escaped here in the Boston area, just cold rain, but the news is reporting lots of problems up your way, best of luck.)
Hi Carol, I’m happy to know that you enjoyed my Christmas greeting this year. I thought everyone might enjoy the painting, I’m glad you did. Thank you for thinking about us, we did get freezing rain but not enough to do any damage for which I am thankful. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas.
Glad to hear you have escaped ice damage – I have friends in Maine who are on day two! Have a great Christmas!
Thank you Carol, we were lucky. Thank goodness, we put in a generator in our barn that runs our whole house with a 500 gallon propane tank buried in the ground…it comes on automatically 10 seconds after power goes out. It is the best thing we ever did when restoring our home. 🙂
my mom finally did the same thing a few years back after having suffered many power outages over the years! Except hers is gas-fired so it has to be started, but still a luxury to have heat, water, lights etc during a power outage.
That is a very beautiful watercolor, Karen. Tied to the memory of a dear friend really adds to its importance, I’m sure. Thank you for the lovely Christmas blessing,and I also wish the same to you. You share your gracious home, travels and delicious food with us all year long, and at its close, I feel like I know you. Isn’t that a wonderful thing to realize—clear across the country about as far apart as we could be, and sharing the enjoyment of our blogging experiences. I look forward to a great deal more in 2014. I hope your Christmas is truly joy-filled and peaceful, my friend. ox
Thank you so much Debra, for your lovely comment and wish…I really appreciate your kind words. Isn’t it wonderful the friendships that have developed through our blogging experiences. It is true that there are miles between us but I enjoy our virtual visits and am happy to call you my friend. 🙂 Merry Christmas.
Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas, Karen, and all good wishes for a happy and peaceful 2014.
Thank you Kay, for your lovely wish. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well.
Have a fabulous Christmas, Karen. Looking forward to reading more of your posts next year:)
