I like the star effect on the lights.
Aren’t those fun! I forgot to use my star filter so I added those in Photoshop. Years ago I learned how to make them and kept this one as a brush in my Photoshop brush box to every now and then. 😀
Sorry I’m so late getting to your holiday post, Deborah, but we had a busy few weeks including the move to our new little casa. 🤗
Oh, do we get a photo tour soon? I hope you get settled in soon! 😍
Deb I wish you a happy New Year and all it’s blessings.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I like the quote and you Christmas display! I had a tree like that. My mother bought them for my sisters and I and we glued the bulbs in at one of the family get-togethers. Happy New Year!!! 🙂
How cool! Thank you for sharing your ceramic Christmas tree memory with me! 🥰🎄
I’m glad I have extra little faux bulbs since the hot glue doesn’t last forever! I have to reglue bulbs on from time to time.
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed New Year, Denise!
Thanks, and my Christmas greerings, too,
Pit
I love the quotation, especially ‘the eyes of the heart’. Merry Christmas, Deborah!
Merry Christmas, Deborah!
Merry belated Christmas wishes, Melissa!! I hope you and the family had a wonderful holiday season! 🥰
Always love to see the patterns of wrapped presents:) Have a very merry time for Christmas with your family this year:):)
Thank you so much, Jesh! I love wrapping paper too. Right now it looks like getting over the mountains is going to problematic. The storm is here. We might not make it until after the storm.
Oh that’s right (we’re still getting weather conditions from that area on our Ipad). Here, when we have a storm, it still doesn’t change the temperature:) Hope you don’t feel too lonely:)
We had a window of opportunity between storms and 88 opened up so we went to Baby Girl’s for Christmas. We weren’t lonely at all. Thank you sweet Jesh! I hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas too!
Am smiling. Pretty, pretty
Thank you, Ally! Merry Christmas! 😀🎄
All the very best of this festive season to you and yours! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much, Rebecca! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Wonderful Christmas capture, Deborah! I have the same ceramic tree in green with all red bulbs, my grandmother made it and it was passed down to me. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
How wonderful that you have your Grandmother’s! It sounds lovely. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! 😀🎄
A beautifully posed photo Deborah, which highlights the surprise and splendor that is associated with this time of year. Have a safe and wonderful Christmas with your family.
Thank you so much, Ashley! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Lovely photo, Deborah! Happy Holidays to you and your family 😊
Thank you so much, Belinda! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well. 😀🎄
That tree reminds me of my Grandma. So many wonderful memories. If you stream PBS, check out the Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra Family Christmas show from 1967. This is the first time it has aired since then, and is only on through the holidays. It is fun. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thank you so much, Jarlath!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I’ll look for that program. I was just watching a Documentary of F. Sinatra about his life in Palm Springs. I need to finish it today.
Hopefully we can do some birding in the New Year and see some good winter birds. 😀
Thank you, Deborah. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you, John! To you and yours as well. 😀🎄
Not only through the heart, those fortunate with children around them get to see and experience the spirit of Christmas through their eyes. Have a safe and Merry Christmas with your loved ones.
I’m so excited for Christmas b/c Littlest will kinda get it this year for the first time.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Gordon! 😍
The phrase “eyes of the heart” goes back over a century:

All the way to Biblical times! 😀
Best wishes to you and your family for this holiday season, Deborah.
Thank you so much, Sue! I wish you all the best as well! 😍😀🎄
We got frost over here. Yay! Everything is covered in sparkling silver and the sky is blue in its purest form. So a christmas feeling is easy to have. I wish you a wonderful weekend, Deborah!
I can well imagine how wonderful and magical it all looks covered in frost.
Thank you so much, Peter. Happy Holidays and week-end to you and yours as well!
That’s lovely. Merry Christmas to you, He Man, and the whole clan.
Thank you so much, Dan! Merry Christmas to you, the Editor, Faith, Maddie, and the Kitties.
I made one of those trees years ago but somewhere along the way it disappeared. It is lovely with the packages. Happy Holidays to you and all of your loved ones.
Thank you so much, Judy! My Mom made one that I loved that she displayed every Christmas so, when the chance came in the late 90’s for me to make one of my own I jumped in and made this one.
Somewhere in the move I’ve lost a deer, and my Christmas mailbox. Sigh. So, I have an idea of how you’re feeling about lost things.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Judy!
