Winter Wonderland

December 17, 2007 By Carole

Here’s a summary of our house last Thursday night.

The weather outside was frightful

But the fire was so delightful

It was the perfect night for our favorite Rankin Bass Christmas specials, hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps, and decorating the Christmas Tree.

Let it snow, indeed!

    Just like a Christmas story! And I didn’t get a chance to tell you how very fantastic your craft studio is! Just perfect!

    It looks so wonderful and cozy! And hot chocolate with Peppermint Schnapps?? I’ll be right over!!

    You have the Christmas Spirit!!! Wonderful!

    That’s the best way to get into the spirit. Snow, schnapps and lights! May you have a delightful week as the day approaches.

    We watched the Santa shows last night too! And my house was cleaned up, dinner was all set and there were cookies baking. It was nice. This morning was a bit of a shock. 🙂

    Really, this post is like a Christmas card. It’s so true that when we can be warned, and heed the warning, about these storms (and the power doesn’t go out), they can provide the BEST times. Glad yours was great!

  12. Danielle says

    December 17, 2007 at 9:21 am

    That looks like our Sunday! I’ll have to go get some peppermint schnapps. Several people have mentioned it recently, and every time, I think how yummy it sounds!

    I like the last photo where I can see your wheel peaking out from the next room.
    Did you get more snow yesterday or just rain?

  14. Wool Winder says

    December 17, 2007 at 9:31 am

    A good day to stay indoors and enjoy a nice warm fire. Pretty tree. Still have to buy ours.

  15. Hillary says

    December 17, 2007 at 9:37 am

    Oh snow! I really hope that we get a lot of it this year even though that’s unlikely. You really know how to enoy the cold weather.

  16. Ruth says

    December 17, 2007 at 9:56 am

    My favorite special is the one with Snow Miser and Heat Miser, although Rudolph is a classic.

    We had a day like that yesterday. Just wonderful.

    I do so love snow at Christmas!
    (I’ll just have to live vicariously, tho’!)

    Such a nice feeling coming to this festive post! We did the tree yesterday, and it is always so great to have it inside with us:)

  19. Lucia says

    December 17, 2007 at 11:22 am

    5 1/2-hour commute home Thursday. Second weekend storm cancels our holiday party. Bah, humbug. (But we did have a fire yesterday, and I admit it was quite nice.)

  20. Cookie says

    Sounds fabulous.

  21. Beth says

    December 17, 2007 at 12:22 pm

    Those were some of my favorte shows to watch when I was little. It sounds like a great time!

    Do you want to come down here and decorate my tree? It’s had some of the lights on it for a week, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. 🙂

  22. JessaLu says

    December 17, 2007 at 12:38 pm

    Sounds like a perfect evening to me! Love your tree :o)

    I’m so envious. (Although I do hope you don’t have to travel anywhere in that)

  25. Sunflowerfairy says

    December 17, 2007 at 5:26 pm

    My husband and I had a fire too. The Boy went to grandma’s house so it was safe.

    We ate a big dinner, sat by the fire and watched TV shows that didn’t have Big Bird or Mickey Mouse in it.

    Wonderful.

    Now if I could just get my tree up…

  26. anne says

    December 17, 2007 at 7:12 pm

    oh what a pretty tree . . and that fire!

  27. Kristine says

    December 17, 2007 at 7:51 pm

    What lovely snow, glad it’s cold outside though and not inside! Your tree looks great too!

  28. Teyani says

    December 17, 2007 at 9:08 pm

    just about perfect I’d say!

  29. Elizabeth says

    beautiful tree! i love this time of year. 🙂

    i sure don’t miss the snow though since i moved away from it. 😉
