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!!!!

Christmas Upstairs, Sitting Room & Minerva, Christmas Home Tour, 2024

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

  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, THURSDAY AND SATURDAYS.....

 I want to Thank to Melynda, over at Scratch Made Food & DIY Homemade Household, for choosing my post, Old Time Christmas in the Den, Tree and Vignettes, as one of her features from last week's Senior Salon Pitstop Link Party...
 

 

 Thanks so much, Melynda!!!

I also want to Thank Joanne, over at Slices of Life, for featuring my post, Gingerbread and Candy Christmas Kitchen, Counters & Fridge, as one of her features from last week's Talking About It Tuesday Linky Party!!
 
 

Thanks again, Joanne!!!

Please stop by and link up to these lovely parties....

 
And now for a few Personal Notes...
 
 
I spent 2 hours at the Eye Doctor's the other day.. ..
 
I was called right back as soon as I got there but the pressure readings in my eyes were up a tad....
 
 So I had scans of the optic nerve and the macula done which show NO  signs of glaucoma ( which they were checking for) or macula degeneration....
 
I still do not need to have my cataract surgery ( Thank God)!!
 
I have had premature cataracts, caused by my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, since I was in my late 40's....
 
But I did need new glasses as my script did change....
 
So I picked out new glasses...
 

 
I went in a totally different direction for frames with all 4 employees in the eye glass store saying an "Absolute yes" to these Kate Spade frames!!!
 
 Slightly smaller in size than my current ones... 
 
Will take about 2-3 weeks because of the holidays but I am excited about them.....
 
I go to a Geriatric Optometrist at the Healthcare system that I worked for....
 
They also have an eye glass store and I received a 25% off Friends and Family discount which brought these glass down to $1 cheaper than my old ones that I had for 2 years!!!
 
I could not have planned that if I tried!!!

 In my last post, I shared how the upstairs hallway and bathroom are decorated this year...

 

 

 

 

 And a simple everyday Christmas tablescape.....

And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

  It was a great afternoon on Sunday as the Community Group at my church, Saint Maria Goretti , partnered with the Town Recreation Board for the Annual Santa Party for the children of the parish and community...
 
 Santa was escorted via fire trucks through out all the streets in Laflin and then brought to the parish center for the party...
 
 
 
 
 After a successful dismount from the fire truck, he came into the Parish center where he was able to sit here and visit with all the children.....
