Christmas Time

I was sitting in my front room sipping a glass of wine the other evening whilst enjoying the lights on the Christmas tree  and I thought...I wonder if this would look as pretty in a picture as it does  in real life. So I got up, got my camera and took these photos.


 In my opinion, Christmas trees are in their full glory at night with all the light reflecting on the ornaments.


I decorated this tree in pink and clear balls, an extravagant, crunchy, crystal garland and pale cranberry colored ribbon. The tree combined with the clock tells me that it  really is ~ Christmas time. 


Lights, glitter, and a bit of glitz...


...yes, it really is that time of year.


Thank you for visiting and...

A Very Merry Christmas to you!

    How pretty your tree looks, especially at night with the lights glowing. The clock sits just perfect behind it.

    Hello Adrienne:
    Your tree is positively lovely and we are sure looks equally good in the daylight as it does at night. The way in which you have dressed it is so charming and we are certain that it will give you and your family much joy throughout the coming season. We wish you a happy and peaceful Christmas!!
