Thank you for your wish Judi, I hope you had a wonderful holiday as well. I’ll be thinking of you when you take down all those pretty Christmas trees of yours. 😀
I did… Except for the big gingerbread tree I store the small ones in boxes – too many little ornaments to put away. Of course my collection was started 40? years ago. I use to have another 6 foot and a 4 foot but scaled down 🙂
Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
The same to you Ladyfi, thank you.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Karen, and that 2016 will be a happy, healthy and prosperous year for you and your famity

Dear Karen,
I wish you and your loved ones only the best for the new year and thank you for all of your visits to my blog and for all of the wonderful posts that you so lovingly prepare and share for your readers and myself. My husband and I are enjoying the beautiful ocean coast of Florida and I know that you, too, are enjoying the sunshine here! PS: I saw some ‘byers choice’ figurines in one of your photos. I collect a few of them also and it’s nice to know another person who enjoys them.
Happy 2016 dear friend,
Roz
Have a lovely 2016, Karen!
A belated merry Christmas to you, Karen. Let’s just pretend that I’m writing from Russia, where Christmas starts on January 6 instead of December 25.
You really gave me a chuckle, Peter. Yes I’ll pretend you are writing this from Russia, stay bundled up and warm. 😀
