Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!
I want to mention that since Blogger changed to a new format for
posting, if you can click on each picture if you care to enlarge
it......
Every room in our townhouse has a different Christmas Theme and Color Scheme!!
I prove that you do not have to live in a large home to have several Trees, over 20, in all shapes and sizes!!
The
majority of my Christmas decorations are placed in the same room every
year and I know that this is not what most Decorator's care for but to
me, it like seeing old friends again when I decorate each year for
Christmas as many of my decorations were gifts from family and
friends...........
I do try to add a few new things and change up
things a bit but for the most part, these decorations are part of my
Christmas Traditions and bring back a lot of treasured memories.....
Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!
I know this Thanksgiving Day will be very different for many of you but there is always something to be Thankful for!!!
Be
Grateful that you are here and alive to celebrate another Thanksgiving
Day even if it is not like you celebrated it before because Please
remember that tomorrow is promised to no one......
This will be the first Thanksgiving that I met my Goal of having the
entire house, both inside and out, decorated for Christmas before
Thanksgiving.....
This prompts people to ask me if I "celebrate" Thanksgiving at our home.....
I
have cooked Thanksgiving Day dinner for my little family for the last
25+ years and that was with either working the Eve or the Day of the
Holiday because I worked Night Shift.....
We
always split ours Holidays on that shift so no one would have to work
the night before and go home at 7:30 am on Thanksgiving morning and have
to go back into work again for 11 pm on Thanksgiving night!!!
Same went for every Holiday so I never had the entire Holiday off until I retired after 37 years of working night shift....
I cook and have dinner here for my family for EVERY holiday.....
So YES!!
We very much celebrate Thanksgiving here at our home no matter how it is decorated!!!
Joe and I are very Grateful that we will be celebrating the Holiday as we always have, with our kids....
I
know the Guidelines are to celebrate with only those in your own
household but our son, Joey, eats dinner here every day, spending at
least 5 hours daily here....
And
now that Jim and Danielle are the proud puppy parents of this little
fur bundle of joy, Faye, Joe and I are going at least 5 mornings a week
to their house to leave Faye out and assist in her "potty training"
while they are at work since they leave for work at 3 am!!!!
Faye
will be visiting us this Thanksgiving Day and spending time in her play
pen so we can eat without trying to keep an eye on her!!
I want to Thank
to Susan, over at Country Crafting, for choosing my post, Christmas Crafting, as her feature from last week's Wonderful Wednesday Link Party!!
Thanks so much, Susan!!!
Please stop by and link up to this wonderful party!!
