During this wonderful season of giving,
let us take the time to slow down and enjoy the simple things.
Here’s to baking cookies,
hanging stockings and
decorating the Christmas tree.
Enjoy this special holiday with family and friends.
Merry Christmas to all
Best Wishes, Karen

Merry Christmas, Karen!
Happy, Merry, Joyous Christmas! I hope the holiday is as sweet as your beautiful cookies. 🙂
A very Merry Christmas to you and a healthy 2023!
You are so right we need to slow down. I can remember the fun we had making our own popcorn and cranberry garlands, handmade gingerbread ornaments, all the cookie swaps and sharing. Stockings have always been a favorite except for when I was very young and “Santa” would put an orange in the toes of our stockings 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and yours and lots of fun trips in 2023!
Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas, dear Karen. 🤗

Merry Christmas to you, too! BTW, that’s a great photo of the Christmas cookies. Did you make them?
Karen, what beautiful pics! And I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to come!
Karen,
To me and my family, it is still Christmas as we celebrate the 12 days of Christmas ending on January 6th, the feast of the Epiphany.
May you and yours have a blessed holiday season, while slowing down and smelling the …. good food you have prepared!
Ciao Karen,
Roz
Merry Christmas to you dear Karen. Happy and healthy 2023 to you and your family. Greetings.
Dear Karen, I send big wishes to you for what I hope was a Merry and Peaceful Christmas and a new year ahead that will be a good one. I so appreciated your recent comment on my blog. It meant a great deal. Yes, we discover our limits when we’d least like to — and we learn to work with them. Wishing you beauty this season.
Karen, thank you for such a beautiful post filled with heartfelt thoughts and beautiful photos. Wishing you many more moments of happiness in the coming year.
Nice to meet you Karen. I hope you had a lovely holiday, and I’m off to read about your latest travel adventure.
Belated Merry Christmas to you and your family and I hope 2023 is a good year for you xx
Lovely decorations! Hope you’re enjoying this holiday season and looking forward to the new year, dear Karen.
