This is my last post for a few days--I'll be busy playing Santa's elf, baking bread, wrapping gifts, and watching the best Christmas movie of all time! I'll leave you with these images of a fresh and wintry wonderland. Can't you almost smell the pine and feel the snap of snow in the air?
Thank you as always for sharing in the spirit of the season with me this year. Have a wonderful Christmas if you celebrate, a wonderful weekend if you don't, and I'll see you on Monday!
P.S. I'm thrilled to be nominated for the Homies, Apartment Therapy's awards for the best Home Design blogs of the year. If can dig yourself out from all that wrapping paper, head over to vote for me and your other fave bloggers!

Anne, have a beautiful holiday with your family and friends. I know this year brought some unexpected things your way, but you dealt with each one with a grace that I'm sure others wish to have as well. Enjoy your time off and make sure to celebrate! (And I'm off to vote now.)

Merry Christmas and if you'd like to take a stop at 58 Gingerbread Lane at my blog to see my Gingerbread house, come on by! Everyone is welcome and if they have pics of their own Gingerbread houses to share that would make it all the merrier!!

As in previous years at about this time, we’re going on hiatus until the first of the year so we can get into the full spirit of the holiday season. But before we go, we want to wish everyone a joyous Christmas and Happy New Year.
