Hello, hello! I had a great Christmas weekend and I think it’s time to give you a recap.
Christmas Eve was lovely. I took very very few photos but I did take this selfie while everyone was singing. It’s always one of my favorite parts of the evening and this year, when everyone was singing Silent Night I got all goose bumpy. It was special and beautiful and made me so grateful for all of the people gathered in my home at that particular moment.
Christmas morning started with mimosas and new pajamas. The mimosas eventually morphed into Manhattans but the pajamas stayed all day. We lounged around and ate leftovers and opened gifts.
Eventually we had snacks by the fire and played Quiddler. It was a great way to end a really awesome day.
On Boxing Day I hung out at home, reading and knitting, playing with watercolors, and just generally relaxing and thinking about what a great weekend it had been.
My amaryllis didn’t bloom for Christmas but I’m pretty sure it will today and that’s just fine with me. I’m going to celebrate the holiday all week long!
An old fashioned sing along is always wonderful! Was great!
Nice celebration! Wishing you a week that flows just the same.
Looks like a lovely weekend Carole! I especially love, love, love your watercolor!
Your writings always relax me ?
The water color awesome and inspiring!! Hmmm, perhaps some watercolors today… And, singing!! It is the best part of Christmas Eve! (I was doing my fair share of music making on Christmas Eve as well!) And, you win with your gorgeous amaryllis!! Wow! XOXO
Looks & sounds like a wonderful weekend/Christmas Carole! Love your PJs!! Your Amaryllis is going to be beautiful. Enjoy your relaxing week.
Food, fun, festivities, friends, flowers, and relaxation – looks like covered all the good stuff (and there is still plenty of the week left). Party on in your pajamas!
What a perfect holiday weekend, Carole! And those amaryllis . . . they unfold slowly, slowly, slowly! (But so lovely all along the way.) Love, love the jammies. XO
I’m glad you had a great Christmas weekend. The pictures are great!
What a wonderful weekend and yay! for seeing you! I’m so excited about watercolors for 2017 (did you use the white ground for that one?) … about 2017 in general. happy hygge!!
I think I’ll be lucky if my amaryllis blooms for St. Patrick’s Day — maybe even Easter!! 😉
What a lovely holiday weekend, Carole! It looks so warm & cozy! Happy hygge, indeed!
How fun to see your relaxed and enjoyable weekend. I really would like to have my Holiday last all week long, but alas, I am at work.
Sounds like the perfect weekend-no make up and yoga pants for me on Christmas Day- sooo relaxing!
You go girl! I am all over week long Christmas!
