The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than in things.

It’s wonderful to hear from you Jack and wish you also a fabulous Christmas. Hugs!
These are just gorgeous – as is all of your work. Thank you for sharing your time and your life with us through the year! Happy holidays!
You are more than generous with your compliment and I am so humbled by your kindness. Amazed that you actually like what I post which makes it even more special. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart and may you have a wonderful Christmas. Emily
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Emily. Is this your tree and table setting? Gorgeous!
Perpetua – I am so NOT that good. The table is at Winterthur estates which is a museum housed in the original home of the DuPonts. Yeah..big money. The house is stunning during the holidays and the only time they allow people to photograph the interior.
What a lovely Christmas card! I really enjoy your blog–thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Happy Holidays!
It is such a pleasure to share my world with you, and am truly grateful for your kindness. Thank you so much and may you have a fantastic Christmas.
Bella, your photography is exquisitely vivid and an oh-so inviting reminder of the beauty of the season. Thank you for this post.
You are so kind Marylin, and thank you so much for your wonderful comment. There is so much in life that is easily missed when you’re busy. I hope to share those special moments with you. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
What GLORIOUS captures – wishing you all the magic of Christmas! Joanne x
Thank you so very much Joanne, and I hope you have wonderful things in store for you for Christmas with dearest family and friends. Wishing you all the best. Emily
Love the second shot Em….great control of DoF. Hope you have a great Christmas.
Thank you so much Mark ! I had to steal from last winter as I have been so busy lately I haven’t been shooting. Boo Hoo…but the ponies are happy. 🙂
Enjoy a Merry Christmas Emily!
Whenever I see your name Bente, it’s like a shining star that glistens with love. Thank you so much and may your family and you have a wonderful Christmas as well.
Thanks for sharing that holiday message and pictures. Proof that these times are full of treasures even when we might think they’re just full of frustrations! Very nice. I hope you had a great Christmas. ;D
LOL ! Indeed, the holidays can certainly lead to lots of stress with way too many to-dos. It does, however, make me remember those in my life that help make it easier and fuller. Even including the mailman and trash men.
You’re absolutely right! I applaud and have to curtsy to those who keep all the “background” work going even when traffic is crazy, people are crazy, the to-do list is crazy, and probably even the weather is crazy.
Thanks for pointing that out. 😀
