Such fun photos here today. Thank you Beth. I wish you and yours all the best.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year, Lisa. I hope we'll cross paths, in person, in 2022. Stay well!
DeleteJust past the solstice, longer sunny days in our future! Happy Holidays and a healthy 2022 to you and yours, Beth.
ReplyDeleteYes! The short days are hard for me. Happy Holidays to you and yours, too!
Deletebeautiful collage, it makes me happy to think coming winter 😁
ReplyDeleteThank you. Some aspects of winter are OK. I'm hoping we won't have many subzero days. A mild winter is tolerable. ;-)
DeleteMerry Christmas Beth! I love the Santa ornament. It's funny but even now, decades afterwards, the reminder that the days will now be getting longer remind me that's what a senior bank executive said to me after her bank acquired the bank I worked for in a hostile takeover (as I was working with her through the transition).
ReplyDeleteInteresting that it jogged this memory for you, Kris. The short days are so hard for me. Around the end of February it gets much easier. I know that's a long way off, but even small steps in that direction are a welcome change. ;-)
DeleteBeth, I agree with you. February is the hardest month for me. I am glad it is the shortest.

Cheerful assortment, Beth! Hope Santa is good to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie. Happy Holidays and merriment to you and yours, too!
DeleteAre those hops?
ReplyDeleteI spy strawflowers.

Merry Christmas my friend.

Hi Carla. :) It's (top left, clockwise): pine cones, pineapple, candy cane, dried northern sea oats, live oxalis, dried hydrangea, dried straw flowers, and various holiday potted elements.
DeleteYou have a homey feel to this collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you. "Homeyness" is one of the sweetest elements of the holidays, isn't it? Stay warm, healthy, and happy in the weeks ahead!
DeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year

DeleteWishing joy and happiness for you in '22!
ReplyDeleteBest New Year wishes for you, too!
