Happy Holidays & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #736
*Edit for December 27, 2024: : I am extending this link party for another week because I am still in holiday mode so I have nothing new to share. I am sitting here in front of my new fireplace with a cup of coffee enjoying some calming music with my husband and our dear friend Melissa. Have a lovely week and a blessed New Year!
Christmas is here and I am wholly unprepared which is totally unlike me. So I will be scrambling like a cracked egg this weekend.
I hope you all have a blessed holiday season that is filled with peace, love, joy, and laughter. Hug your people tight, be grateful for what you’ve got, and please be kind to one another.

Thanks so much, Laura! I tried to keep my tree simple and elegant this year with some raggy garland, vintage doilies, and old pine cones. But my kids wanted ornaments so now it is covered in colorful bling! I will put it back to the way I like it after Christmas and leave it up until spring. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas, my friend!

Thanks so much, Patrick! I decorated it with raggy sock garland, vintage doilies, and old pine cones. My kids did end up adding a thousand ornaments and now it just looks like an ornament monster vomited all over my tree. Hahaha. A very merry Christmas to you and yours, my friend!
