And I really loved reading about your Cristmas anticipation when growing up. I do wish we could have it that way when we grow up too. Even though it does sound like you still feel the excitement and anticipation. And to think that you had snow too at Cranberry Cottage. It has been snowing here for tree days now, and the landscape has really changed from wet and soggy into a beautiful white winter wonderland.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511372208366707895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-55148790427496930622008-12-02T14:22:00.000-08:002008-12-02T14:22:00.000-08:00Wonderful sentiments Heidi...I'm going to 'keep it...Wonderful sentiments Heidi...I'm going to 'keep it simple' and fun.<BR/>Margaret and NoreenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-11527361407053458902008-12-02T11:12:00.000-08:002008-12-02T11:12:00.000-08:00Hello Heidi, I loved your St. Nicholas' Note very ...Hello Heidi, I loved your St. Nicholas' Note very much! That's what Sinterklaas is all about ...<BR/>Our Advent traditions are putting out the Advent star, seeing a big amaryllis bulb grow into marvellous flowers, putting a little angel on a paper Christmas tree(after St. Nicolaas till Christmas eve) and the candles of course.<BR/><BR/>Have a good Advent time!

Touring round in nice areas or villages, drinking a cup of tea somewhere etc. We always say: we give her a memory !<BR/>Greetings, Janneke :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-75475721313685277692008-12-01T18:22:00.000-08:002008-12-01T18:22:00.000-08:00Lovely post Heidi and the snow must have really he...Lovely post Heidi and the snow must have really helped get you in the holiday mood.<BR/><BR/>I'm decorating now and just taking my time doing a bit here and a bit there - no rush. Replacing all the white fairy lights outside as the pesky squirrels have chewed on them - not the fence, gate and arbor look bright and welcoming with new bright lights on these chilly nights. Inside I've cut back on displays of Christmas things - got out of hand the past years. This year I haven't even unpacked everything! After seeing the simple, but much more meaningful decor in Europe, I want my home to look like that.<BR/><BR/>Stay warm dear friend - I've missed hearing from you lately. Hugs - Mary.<BR/><BR/>P.S.<BR/>Only the under-18's get gifts now, not the adults - that means we can give to a favorite charity where it is truly needed. We all have far too much "stuff".Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-7101136127198469052008-12-01T12:23:00.000-08:002008-12-01T12:23:00.000-08:00HI HeidiWhat a wonderful Christmas DecorationI lik...HI Heidi<BR/>What a wonderful Christmas Decoration<BR/>I like the wreath on the mirror.<BR/>Oh... and your Christmas ornaments are so pretty.<BR/>Fantastic you had snow,I dream of<BR/>snow.<BR/>Have a nice evening!<BR/>Hugs,ReginaReginas Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263131368566323993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-77475205726118778572008-12-01T11:28:00.000-08:002008-12-01T11:28:00.000-08:00Het begint bij jullie thuis al gezellig kerst-acht...Het begint bij jullie thuis al gezellig kerst-achtig te worden!!Dat belooft weer veel goeds voor de komende maand.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223868473590355932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-27656347610665735122008-12-01T10:16:00.000-08:002008-12-01T10:16:00.000-08:00What a beautiful post Heidi.
