I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

Gingerbread & Candy Kitchen, Counters and Fridge, Christmas Home Tour, 2024

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

 I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!

  Every room in our townhouse has a different Christmas Theme and Color Scheme!!
 
 I prove that you do not have to live in a large home to have several Trees, over 20, in all shapes and sizes!!

The majority of my Christmas decorations are placed in the same room every year and I know that this is not what most Decorator's care for but to me, it like seeing old friends again when I decorate each year for Christmas as many of my decorations were gifts from family and friends........... 

I do try to add a few new things and change up things a bit but for the most part, these decorations are part of my Christmas Traditions and bring back a lot of treasured memories.....

    
 I post 3 TIMES A WEEK on MONDAY, THURSDAY AND SATURDAYS.....
 
 As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

And now for a few Personal Notes...
 
 
Our cold weather is still persisting with low's around 20 degrees and high's in the 30's....

A warm up is predicted for next week....

Did you shop Cyber Monday???

I actually bought a new camera!!

I think mine was dying a slow death so I jumped on a good deal ....
 
Next week, I will be figuring it out so I can start to use it......
 
It actually is a new, better model of the one I have.....
