Well we are now on the count down to Christmas so let the Merry begin!!!
Click to Enlarge Photos.

Starting off with SONGOGRAPHY - So please join me and of course Kathy (You'll Shoot Your Eye Out) for the "Silver Bells" edition.


This was our front sidewalk on Friday morning,  Yikes!  Thankfully by Friday night it had rained and all that fluffy white stuff was gone. 



Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.

 Next let's join Ashley from (Ramblings and Photos) for some SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY fun.  -  The prompts this week were:  Lights, Tree, Big, Makes You Feel Merry and On the Door.
LIGHTS:  We drove around a little tonight to look at some Christmas lights and I found this really cool house with a ton of lights.  They were all set to music so be sure to watch the little video as well that will follow the one decent picture I managed to get.


Here is the light show.


TREE:  We decorated my mom's tree last Sunday evening.  Here are pictures of my great-nephew, Andrew and my granddaughter, Coleen helping to decorate.  I love how they both have nearly identical expressions on their faces.


BIG:  This display was in one of the local grocery stores.  That's one "Big" Santa.

 
MAKES YOU FEEL MERRY:  I bought this decoration for my mom many years ago but every time I play it I feel "merry"  - Again a picture and a video.




ON THE DOOR: - Well not exactly on the door but how about above the door.  This is over my mom's front door and one of her favorite decorations.


Well that wraps up another week.  I want to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and thank you for stopping by my blog this year and for you wonderful comments and encouragement.

  1. Love the kids decorating. Both of mine have always had limited interest in decorating the tree - only willing to put up a few ornaments and then vacate the room. oh well!

    Merry Christmas!

  22. Oh, what a fun, Christmas-y post! I love the videos. Those Christmas lights are amazing (although I don't think I'd want to live next door to them!). And the decoration made me smile. My favourite, though - the b&w "silver bells" image. Just gorgeous.

    Merry Christmas, Ida!

  23. Fabulous! I love the black and white photo of the tree ornament, and the gorgeous lighted decoration over your Mom's front door. I would love to find something like that for our house. Also, the Pepsi Santa is amazing. Love the expressions on the kids' faces as they decorate the tree. Their faces are a true reflection of a child's wonder at Christmas.
