Thanksgiving was lovely quiet, all the men were here, a treasure indeed. Now my thoughts are going to decorate and make festive, our home for Christmas.
I love the fragrance of winter evergreens,
perhaps with a mix of dried hydrangeas.
Have you ever experienced Christmas at the Biltmore in Asheville, NC?
Be sure and put on your 'top 10' list of "must do's". It is a wonder and a spectacular sight to see. 
I enjoy seeing what others do, don't you? I took a look back to Christmas '08 to see what some bloggers did. Michelle Morelan of A Schematic Life.

What do you like to do? Do the same things go in the same spot? I like to mix it up a bit. I also go through and purge of things I have not used in the last few. I did a 'big girl' tree the last couple of years and my sons wondered where all of their ornaments were. So, out they will come this year.
What a wonderful post, Renae. We've never gone to Biltmore for Christmas, but it's one of my favorite places to visit. I'm just pulling all my Christmas down from the attic, so it was fun seeing your photos!

Love the mercury glass photos, but I am also going crazy seeing them - I used to have a huge collection but have sold most of it over the years! I still have a few pieces, though, AND a magnolia tree in my yard, so there is hope for me! Thanks so much for your sweet comment on hill country house.
