ReplyDeleteI love getting cards, but that seems to have dwindled lately. I also love thinking of things that people would love as gifts, not just a sweater or a tie.
What a great post. I love getting cards, but I agree, they are becoming a thing of the past. I save most of mine year after year and have some from YEARS back. I like the festive feeling in the air in December.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday! I am enjoying all the Christmas specials this year. And I still need to get my Christmas cards out. You have some very "neat" ornaments. ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post! I love Christmas flowers too!

Although there's no blue on your table, it is without a doubt the most beautiful Christmas table setting I've ever seen! Please invite me over! I love your blue offerings, and especially enjoyed the nativity and the stocking. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie, what a great collection of blue items you have shared with us..your table setting is gorgeous..I love the jewels on the centerpiece..I have never seen such a charming Nativity set..Have a good day.. Baba
ReplyDeleteI love that wonderful stocking! Did you make it yourself? Yes, there are so many reasons to love Christmas. At the moment, however, it is just coming up too quickly! I am certainly not ready.
ReplyDeleteI love December too. I love the blue scattered about. Christmas is the best time of the year.

Great post, with touches of blue and vintage! :) ~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteI just remembered I have several antique postcards with the Nativity on them. Thanks for the reminder - I'll get them out. Sally
ReplyDeletei love hearing, seeing, and being involved in the extra outreach that we do through the church for the holidays! I remember so many wonderful Christmas mornings, and the thought of kids not having Christmas due to their parents' mistakes/bad choices hurts my heart.
ReplyDeleteloved your post!
Pretty, pretty, pretty! So many delightful reasons to smile as we wish Jesus a Happy Birthday in Grand Style!
ReplyDeleteFun post! I love wrapping Christmas presents. My husband and I always make special night of it to wrap our daughter's presents.
