ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE...










It was just before Christmas 
and all through the house,
 not a creature was stirring...





...not even a  mouse. 

 Although Bitty Morsel 
has left her usual place of honor
 to stand beside
 Olde Scrooge 
to offer him some 
Christmas spirit.





Stockings were hung 
by the chimney
 with care...






...the children's bed 
was all ready for
 snuggling...






Away to the windows,
 and open the shutters, 
to catch a fleeting glimpse 
of sunlight...






...while a small tree
 gives a luster of midday to...





...objects below.





A few tiny reindeer 
greet all who come through 
the front door.






There is Dasher and Dancer
 and the rest of 
the gang...





...and, of course,
 Rudolph.







A bowl and pretty garland 
await some festive touches...






...while a bouquet of fresh flowers
 always brightens up 
the day...






...and a pretty place setting 
is awaiting
 Christmas morning.




A jolly old elf,
 he was chubby and plump...






...and you have to laugh
 when you see him 
in spite of yourself.






He filled all the stockings 
and then turned 
with a wink...






...saying 
"Merry Christmas to all
and to all 
a Good Night"...




...I swear
 I heard him say that
 as he drove 
out of sight...






I hope you enjoyed
some small glimpses of Christmas
 all through the house.
  
We will return 
next week with more.

We are heading back down
 to Santa Cruz on Friday
 to celebrate Jake's birthday 
and then we will be delivering
 he and Jacenda 
to the San Francisco airport 
for their trip to 
Ireland and Scotland.

 Oh,
 what fun 
it is to dash 
through life 
with these two!!


...Judy...

  13. You have "done your house proud" as the saying goes! Every little thing is just so perfect and wonderful and magical. I want to come to your house and curl up on that bed in your guest bedroom! It looks so cozy and sweet with the tree all dressed up and lit. I still love the look of vintage wallpapered rooms, just don't want to put it up anymore. I used to wallpaper rooms when I was younger. Your Christmas ditty was cute and witty.... hugs... Marilyn
