In Just a Few Days~

Yes, in just  a few days we will celebrate another

Christmas!

It has been a year that seemed to fly by.

Did it feel that way to you?

Looking back there is so much to be thankful for

and so many blessings to count

although that is always impossible.

I'm glad you stopped by one last time 

before our year comes to a close.

Welcome to Rose Garden Cottage

We have no snow but it sure is cold in Texas.

Santa did his shopping~

a

and filled his bag with goodies.

The cottage is decorated~

The cozy time begins!

A kiss for luck and good tidings shared with loved ones!

The tree is decorated and all aglow,

The collections are adorned~

Beautiful meals are shared

with family and friends

as we remember loved ones near and far.

Many we have prayed for and many are missed~

remembering the old times

and the classics of long ago.

I've spent a lot of time here painting

 and being thankful for my work

even when I never seem to get it all completed.

but taking cozy times near,

and reading a bit here.

Enjoying Cards sent and received,

and fluffy the nest for winter~

Yes, it's been a dear deer, year!

And now as we remember the reason for the season.

My dear and I would like to wish you 

A Very Merry Christmas

and

A Happy New Year.

Thank you for all your visits this year and your blogland friendship.

It is a blessing and a joy.

I'll be taking some time to reflect, rejoice and spend time with family and friends.

 I hope you make time to do the same.

See you in the new year.

God Bless you all!
