I have so enjoyed wandering through December at a leisurely pace with you. You do the most delightful tablescapes and have a wonderful spirit of Christmas in your home. Your front porch is a pure delight worthy of a front cover of a magazine. Just beautiful! Your neighbors must love the neighborhood!

Well, dang. I just finished setting my copy cat tablescape last night. That's what I get for not keeping up with my favorite blogs...that would be yours. I do understand though. Rhett and I are still trying to find a spot of time to do our Tables for Two meme. Someday. Maybe. I'll post it anyway for Tablescape Thursday. Meme or no meme, thanks for the inspiration. I did the candy cane table from Carolyne Roehm's A PASSION FOR PARTIES. At least I started with her table. Couldn't help it...I found myself amending her design to suit my own eye. Cherry Kay

Love the red door! That makes an incredible statement.

I say take your time and do only what you want to do each year. I learned that from a great book that I read 25 years ago - Unplug The Christmas Machine.

I love your red front door, Kathleen, so festive with the wreath and garland. I love your whole porch actually, and I am jealous. I had nothing at all until I went out yesterday and bought a wreath and balls to adorn it with to put on the door.I just did not want to look through all the boxes in the attic just for 1 wreath. I wasn't going to put anything but I was getting embarrased and thinking the neighbors must think we are getting a divorce since usually, I am the first one to put up Christmas decor and all of a sudden, nothing, lol. And I turned on the lights of the 2 topiaries on either side of the door so it does not look as pitiful anymore. You must think I am terrible but John will be alone on all the coming holidays. My daughters are both due in about 2 weeks and are both asking me to help them, will have to divide my time b/w them and they live 2.5 hrs drive away from each other. It's all just happening during the holidays. I told John he can always come to visit of course, if he wants, but he tries not to take off too much because he is so busy and is the only Urologist in town. Just like now, I am up because he got called at 1 AM for a gun shot wound and had to perform surgery and he just got home. Poor guy, he has to get up again in 2 hrs to go back to work. I really do not like to leave him alone b/c you should see the house when I get back, lol, but I have no choice.This is getting too long so I will email you.....Christine

I do love a red front door! Yours looks so wonderfully festive with your beautiful wreath. I had to quit looking at the TGV post because I am getting hungry and it is late. Seems that always happens when I look at your blog ... my tummy is growling.

Darlin', ya can't be further behind that I am. We had a wedding a week before Thanksgiving here on the Ponderosa and I've been runnin' late since.

I did finally finish deckin' the halls here yesterday and began my candy makin' today. I ordered presents Saturday and all are on the way. Woohoo....

I so adore your door, girl...what a beautiful welcome to greet your guests.

God bless and have a magnificent day!!! :o)

Your door and front our gorgeous. Between you and Susan at BNOTP I've about decided to paint my red. My husband isn't real excited about it but I'll win. (smile)Christmas will all get done. And you're doing better than you think you are! Give yourself some credit girl!

Looks like you're off to a good start on the decorating. The high-tech wreath looks fabulous on the red front door. And I'm like you. It is taking me forever to finish.

2011-12-05T16:17:53.482-08:00

I love your red door Kathleen!

Thanks for coming by. I suppose one reason I went off on a tangent in that note about the decorating was because I am a tad tired and the comment hit a raw nerve. I am usually more patient! Because I am tired I am calling the decorating officially finished!! If we are too tired and we don't enjoy,what's the point!:-) I want to stop while I am still having fun.

Love that battery operated wreath.

2011-12-05T15:34:42.147-08:00

kathleen, your front door looks spectacular!
I LOVE that red! it is in no doubt about its identity, is it? it's definitely RED. Gorgeous.

You can get battery lights that last? I'm going to have to check this out -- I am SO 20th century.

And that's why I'm known as "Cassette."
Hahahahahahah... well, for a moment I felt all French and coquettish.

Happy decorating!

2011-12-05T15:28:19.135-08:00

Hey, Kathleen! I didn't realize we were supposed to let you know that we wanted to participate in advance. I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get a grip on all the parties and giveaways and things. I'm not very bright, so it always takes me longer to figure things out than everyone else! :-( I will definitely want to participate in the next one you host!

2011-12-05T15:21:24.447-08:00

Oh my gosh, I LOVE the red door! With your blue/gray home it looks wonderful. At least to these red-lover's eyes :)

Yes, busy time of year for so many. It would have been hard to do it all.

It all looks so wonderful...very festive! Love yo...

2011-12-05T15:06:17.128-08:00

It all looks so wonderful...very festive! Love your plaid!!!

What "TABLESCAPE PARTY"??? I didn't get the memo OR an email about it & I get all your posts via email now. Musta slipped through the cracks.

Its crazy busy here, too. Why I try to do so much is beyond me but I just can't stop myself. I'm with Sue...I think next year, I'll have the entire house decorated BEFORE Thanksgiving! (we did have the outside lights up but not on)

Pace yourself, okay?
Hugs,
Rett
