Yes. This does sound perfect. via

Simple Christmas Decor Outdoors

If you are lucky enough to have an ivy-covered house, all you need is green wreaths with red bows for Christmas. A dusting of snow would be nice too. via Happy December. xo

Wreath on Farmhouse Door

I love this old door decorated with a vine and wildflower wreath. I wonder if the recession behind the wreath opens somehow from the inside to check who's calling? Look closely, there's a lit Christmas tree inside. via

Americana Christmas Tree

I thought I would be anxious to start taking down my Christmas decorations now that Christmas has passed but I'm not. I think I'll wait until New Year's Day. This tree is nice. via Here's hoping all of your celebrations were as nice as the one I attended at a friend's new home.

A simple old fashioned Christmas tree next to an open fire. So nice! via I hope this paneled room is a library.

This animated gif is very mesmerizing. I can't look away. via

Simplicity: Lovely Christmas Tabletop

So Lovely. I love the simplicity of this Christmas table. The initialed cookies instead of place cards are so imaginative. The sitters can take them home and hang them from their tree or eat them on the spot. I like the hanging ones overhead too, mobile style. via

Eggnog Frosted Chai Snickerdoodle Snowmen Cookies

I love the peanut butter cup hats.

No rolling pin or cookie cutter needed. Yay!

Snickerdoodles have always been a favorite cookie and these are super special rolled in chai spiced sugar. Delightful blogpost and recipe here. Thankfully, you still have time to bake them too. xo

Easy Reindeer Cookies

These are all Rudolph cookies with his red nose. But you could do the other reindeer too using a raisin. They would be so cute left on Santa's plate as energy treats for the reindeer pulling his sleigh. via

This fabulous photo is perfect for adding your Christmas text in the snow. via

My Latest Christmas Find

I was out and about yesterday ducking in here and there and found this amazing old Mercury Glass Christmas tree on a tin base with a tin star at my favorite charity shop. I found the old glass votives there earlier this year. The Peace tray was a find at another shop last year. I put my feather tree in my kitchen this year and I'm liking it in the middle of my farm table but have yet to get a photo that does it justice. I'll keep trying and post one soon. My rosemary topiary is doing well as are all the cuttings from this mother plant that are getting quite mature. I love this type of indoor gardening for the winter. Today is the first really cold day and when I got up the thermometer was in the single digits. It has "warmed up" to 22° at 10:00 so I really can't complain. See you later. xo

I posted this on my Instagram yesterday if you want to take a peek at my feed.

The Stockings Are Hung

These stocking hooks are adorable and the mantel looks wonderful. A fireplace in the kitchen or dining room is always a wonderful thing. via

I love the origami star. This little tree says Christmas Simplicity so very well. via

Snow expected overnight here with 2 to 4 inches tomorrow. I guess the snow down south is coming my way. via
