Christmas is my favorite time of year.\u00a0 I always get the Christmas spirit before I even get up from the Thanksgiving dinner table.\u00a0 We put an artificial tree in every room of the house except for the bathrooms and the kitchen of course.\u00a0 We do decorate a live tree in the gazebo part of the front porch.\u00a0 It’s where the wind and blowing snow don’t usually get to it because of the other out buildings around it.<\/p>\n

We keep plenty of firewood since there’s a fireplace in every bedroom and if there’s not a fireplace, I have installed a wood burning stove so everyone can have a fire to cuddle up beside to watch the snow fall outside.\u00a0 The trees in the bedrooms are decorated to match the room.<\/p>\n

There’s an antique room with only old type ornaments from the period of the furniture.\u00a0 Then there’s the woodsman room that has a deer head over the mantle and the furnishing is a rustic type.\u00a0 That tree is decorated with ornaments that reflect the outdoors or animals.\u00a0 Then there’s the romantic ‘honeymoon’ type room.\u00a0 All the ornaments are pastel colors to match the room with lots of lace and flowers.\u00a0 It’s so very beautiful.\u00a0 The other rooms trees are decorated like those too, to match the room.<\/p>\n

The tree that is in the main sitting room is decorated with hand made decorations from either locals and from the many children that have gone through here at Christmas time.\u00a0 It’s my favorite tree.\u00a0 This year that tree is especially special to me since my sweet Little Joe has made some ornaments with me to put on the tree.\u00a0 It’s going to be a wonderful Christmas season.\u00a0 Now it’s time to go shopping for the gifts!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
