A Very Merry Christmas To You
Posted by Anne
Well, today marks the end of the Life in Pencil Holiday Season Extravaganza. We hope you’ve enjoyed our thoughts on the season. It was a joy to be able to ponder and then write about all the activities, emotions, and FOOD that makes a holiday. However you’re spending today, we hope it’s peaceful, simple, fun, or some combination of the three.
A few images to celebrate the day. Wherever you are, I hope it’s a good one.
One from Elizabeth–this is from her neighborhood park. She tells me that someone decorates the trees each year with vintage ornaments.
And another…Elizabeth’s personal favorite…
And from my neck of the woods…
Our tree–ornaments on the bottom half were quickly repositioned after our shih tzu sampled one.
Christmas Eve, and my very focused nephew…
…and our equally focused pups.
Sweet and thoughtful cards, from sweet and thoughtful family and friends…
A favorite story…
And a favorite image.
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas, Anne, from Mexico! We are crawling out of bed this morning after eating the salted cod, drinking tequila, doing the posada, and eating about 12 desserts. We didn’t leave the party until 2 am! Today will be a recovery day.

I LOVED that book when I was younger! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for all of your thoughtful holiday posts. It’s been a wonderful way to reflect on all the different aspects of the season. And now, happy new year!

I have so enjoyed both of your memories and traditions. Thank you so much for sharing. I am doing my own over the next few weeks but in photo format – sort of a break from writing.
Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays Anne and Elizabeth! I have enjoyed your holiday extravaganza and am anxious to see what you have to say about the New Year — and a new decade… coming soon this week perhaps?

I had a wonderful time reading your posts these last few weeks. I felt like I was listening and sharing holiday emotions with two good freinds.
Merry Christmas to the both of you and have a happy new year!
