I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Anne Marie's Annual Christmas Home Tour, 2023

 



 

 

 

 

 Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

 I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!

  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.....

  
 I post 3 TIMES A WEEK on MONDAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAYS!!!!
 
 
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!


I hope you got to spend it with those you love....
 
 
Today, I will be taking you on a tour of my Christmas "Bed and Breakfast"..... 

And there will be a few things that you have not seen in previous posts..
 
I always say that in my 40's, when all my multiple Medical issues started to rear their ugly heads, I knew that my days of traveling for any distance were over....

So I decided that since I loved the Victorian Era so much that I would turn my 1970's built townhouse into the Victorian Bed and Breakfast that I would love to stay at if I was able to continue to travel....
 
This concept worked so well that now that I am retired, I seldom want to leave my own little Victorian Bed and Breakfast that I created for myself.... 

Because I feel I am now on vacation every single day!!
 
 
And I decorated my "Victorian Bed and Breakfast" to the hilt for Christmas..... 
 
But first, in my last post, I shared Nelson Crest, my Victorian Doll House, decorated for Christmas!

 

 



Click HERE if you missed that post!!

 And before we start the Tour, I want to Thank Marsha, over at Marsha in the Middle, for choosing my post, Traditional Christmas in the Living Room, Entry and Vintage Tree,as one of her favorites from last week's Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot Linky Party!!!



 Thanks so much, Marsha!!
 
 
 And I also want to Thank Mel, over at Decor Craft Design, for choosing my post, Christmas Front Porch and Yard, as one of her features from last week's Happiness is Handmade Linky Party!!!
 

 
 Thanks again, Mel!!!!

 Please stop by and link up to this charming party.....

 This is a LONG post so grab a seat and enjoy the Tour!!

Welcome to my very own Victorian Bed and Breakfast.....

 

CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE TOUR OF MY VERY OWN "VICTORIAN BED AND BREAKFAST" DECORATED FOR CHRISTMAS....

Hugs,

Deb
