The cases are packed
The gifts are wrapped
The cards have all been posted and
a holly wreath decks the front door.
My sincere hope to you all is that you enjoy
a wonderful Christmas,
wherever you may be.
Thank you for your warm friendship,
and the thoughtful exchanges we have shared over the past year

Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteWherever you reopen those suitcases for your Christmas celebration, I hope you and your family have a blessed and wonderful time dear Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so much beauty from around this amazing planet yet again this year. Next year? Who knows where we will find ourselves, hopefully still standing in awe at something historic and wondrous, or a spectacular, natural beauty only Nature can built and paint. All is inspiring and raises our curiosities, all will, we hope, remain standing for the generations to come, and we pray they get to view them in a safe and peaceful world.
Christmas blessings, see you in the New Year.
Hugs - Mary
P.S. Your son made such a beautiful wreath - an English robin is always such a beautiful image for Christmas.

Very much enjoyed your travels this year, Rosemary. And guess what, I'm actually doing a bit of traveling myself this Christmas time. Going to North Carolina to visit my daughter, her hubby and my grandchildren. Can't wait to see them. (They moved down there in August and it seems as if I haven't seen them in AGES!) So Merry Christmas to you and your family, dear Rosemary. Safe travels and God bless.

Thank you for your good wishes for Christmas. A little late to wish the same for you, but I hope you have enjoyed the day and that you had the company of family. I love your pretty Christmas wreath. Did you paint the robin yourself?
ReplyDeleteJust noticed that your son is responsible for the pretty robin - lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour gifts have come to me regularly all year long - and they have been cherished, Rosemary!
