A Few New Ornaments and Wrapped Presents Under the Tree

I've added a few ornaments.


My daughter and son-in-law
bought these at an After-Christmas Sale
at Macy's last year.


I think she was a bit disappointed when 
she didn't see them on the tree.

I added them when they left and sent her a photo. 
I like!


I have a few gifts under the tree now.
All are for my grandbabies except for one.


This is my view this evening from my sofa.

I'm staying positive and trying to cherish each moment of
every day of the holidays without taking on too much.

Care to join me in creating a stress-free holiday?

Bonnie:)

  1. I am so impressed. I haven't done one thing. For the first year in my life I am not decorating, but as I will be spending Christmas at my daughter's house, I can enjoy her beautiful decorations. I hope you will relax and enjoy, my friend. xo Laura

  6. I added a few things today inside. I put away the fall things outdoors and put my Christmas things outside. Done with the simple decorating. I am so trying to not let the non holiday related stress get to me.

  8. Your view from the sofa looks quite beautiful and cozy. I saw what looked like an ice cycle on the tree? My mother just gave me some of those from her Christmas decorations and I just LOVE them!! They make the tree look enchanting.
    Love and prayers to you, Debbie

  10. We also planned a stress free holiday season. Thanksgiving to New Year. I am tired of the commercialism of it all. We declared a home made theme for gifts this year... with the exception of the 2 grandbabies.
    So, yes... in will join you in a stress free Christmas!!

  11. You know, after having been ill for two months, I have decided not to get stressed for Christmas. I wanted to pick out a tree today, but ended up at the doctor. My feelings were, "well, we can get the tree tomorrow, or not!" I have decided life is too short to stress about little things.
