Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!
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....

In my last post, I shared my Gingerbread/Candy Tree and Hutch in the Kitchen....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
This post is a 2 part one....
The first part....
I am finishing up my tour of the Kitchen decorated in a Gingerbread/Candy theme for Christmas and will be sharing the last area of the Kitchen....
The Counter Bar....
I have a very small Kitchen so I designed this counter bar, to hold my microwave, give me much needed counter space and storage, and had a friend of mine build it for me....
But before we get to that, I made the simple swag above the door way into he Dining Room....
I hung it above the rolling pin that I bought a long time ago in Michael's, that normally hangs here...
If I was really ambitious ( that ship has sailed), I would do up that shelf with all Christmas items...
But I am not that ambitious any more.....
On the left side of the counter bar....
I added a Gingerbread towel and a few other things to my vintage laundry display....
I leave up a basic evergreen garland, above the counter bar year round and just build on that for the different Seasons and Holidays....
A few years ago, I bought the fabric Gingerbread garland and the other fabric pieces....
Hanging from the ceiling is a copper wire basket and a large peppermint candy ornament that I got in The Christmas Tree Shop many years ago....
I also placed candy cane ornaments from the Dollar Tree in one of the baskets..
I bought the Gingerbread and cup cake ornaments in Dollar General last year...
And the lollipops....
Back over to the left side.....
I hung one of the beautiful creations that my FB friend Angela gifted to me from the sconce....
A red and white tree that I bought in Bon Ton many years ago on the red mercury glass candle holders....
One of my Kitchen Christmas nutcrackers that I bought in Penney's a few years back....
I hung Christmas plaid napkins that match the runner on the shutters....
In the center, behind the stained glass lamp that was my late neighbor Ellie's, is a candle bought in Big Lot's , which I miss so much!
I bought this Gingerbread place mat in Ollie's this year....
I covered it with clear acrylic board that I use when I take things out of the microwave...
Another Kitchen Christmas nutcracker....
Also from Penney's....
Another tray....
The bowl was bought at Big Lot's and another green depression glass bowl...
And another beautiful creation of Angela's....
I made the cafe curtain from a vintage tablecloth....
A Sugar Cookie mat....
On the right side of the counter bar....
And that completes my tour of the Kitchen decorated for Christmas this year....
The second part of this post....
How I did with my November Goals....
I
thought this was a great idea because I think listing Monthly Goals that you
want to accomplish in a certain smaller period of time is a lot easier and more doable...
My Goals are more of a To Do List for each Season.... 
And I do so love my To Do Lists....
And I do so love my To Do Lists....
So I how did I do with my November Goals....

I also managed to pack up and tarp all the garden things and furniture against the back of the house for the Winter....
So I think I did really good in November.....
I decided to continue these Monthly Goals into 2026 because they really do keep me on track and accountable...
And with that, I will end this post!
