The picture above shows our little house from the front. We have 3 lit wreaths, a small lit tree on the porch, and various lights/candles/bows around...
Here is a close-up of the garage side of the front..
This is a picture of one of our three wreaths in front... They are all pretty, each in their own ways!
Here is a close-up of our porch. The little tree is filled with lights, red bows and candy canes... (That is a lamp shade glaring from inside.)
And here is another of our wreaths from up close.
Here is another angle of the porch side of our home.
And, from our backyard, here is one part of our deck. Note the wreath on the wall also back there. The lights on this one quit working a couple of years ago, so it is now 'ruler' of the deck!!!!! ha (If you are fairly new to my blog, I'll tell you that the arbor was built when we put in the new deck to hold my bird feeders--which get put away at nights to keep the raccoons out of them.)
And the next three are pictures taken from our back yard.
For your information (in case you are wondering), that big black looking thing in the picture is our umbrella --all folded up for the winter... Looks kinda strange from this angle... ha
Finally, here is my favorite wreath picture this year. I guess the red bows and poinsettias just make it easy to get a good 'dark' picture....
Hope you and your family have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR... George and I plan to ----but we'll be on another Blogging Break from now until JANUARY 2, 2013.
God Bless Each and Every One of YOU ---and let's all pray for each other and for our country and world.
Much Love,

Your place looks so good Betsy and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and maybe even a white Christmas week.
have a wonderful blog break and see you next year. LOVE the 3 wreathes in the macro shots. so beautiful and so is your deck
Nice job Betsy.. I would probably have a backache after that much decorating LOL
Your home and decorations look lovely, Betsy! Wishing you and George a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Everything looks lovely!
Merry Christmas, Betsy & George!
The last wreath is just stunning, your house is so beautiful!!! But your header!!! My word, the both of you look like frisky youngsters! Guess either the hiking or the waterfalls have turned back the clock for your bodies!
Very nice decorations. I just found out that our wreaths and such were carried over from Romans after the 5th century when they made our religion a national endeavor.
It all looks very merry and bright. I love the new deck all decorated up. I wish I could slip by and drink some wassail with you dear friend. Enjoy the coming of the Light, and the lengthening of hours of daylight also. Love, Sally
Beautiful! Love the lights.
Merry Christmas.
Dear Betsy and George, your decorations are beautiful and show much love and delight all through your home, inside and out.
My daughter and I hang candy canes on our tree inside the house and we were just talking about how we don't know anyone else who does this! And now I see that YOU do this with your front door tree...hurrrahhh!! Candy canes are SO perfect because they already have a hook!! Kindred spirits, eh?!
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2013. Your blog is always a highlight of my day!
hugs,
Elizabeth
Betsy, your house looks beautiful lit up at night. The wreaths and decorations are beautiful. You and George must have the prettiest house on the block.
Your house looks so pretty all lit up. I love all your wreaths. We don't have any lights up outside. My husband never did get around to hanging them.
Your house is beautiful, Betsy.
Merry Christmas and God's blessings to you and George.
Your home is as beautiful outside as it is inside - and as beautiful as your heart.
Your home is as beautiful outside as it is inside - and as beautiful as your heart.
Your home looks beautiful, Betsy. I love the wreaths on the house and the deck looks so pretty, too!
I've been so busy lately that there isn't time for blogging or commenting. I hope to post something before Christmas, but if not, I wish you and George the merriest of Christmases and a wonderful New Year! Have a great time on your break. And thanks for being such a wonderful blogging friend. I'm looking forward to your lovely photos and posts next year!
Hugs, Cheryl
Oh, Than you, Thank you dear!
All is so beautiful...so joyful
God Bless you
I am having physiotherapy because I have tendinitis in my right shoulder. I can hardly write, either with pen or computer. But I had to come to wish that happiness will fill your soul..and rejoice in all that is good.
God bless you and George and all your family.

Just beautiful, Betsy...I really love those lighted wreaths. Your home looks lovely the whole year long! I'm afraid we don't look very festive this year---we gave our tree to Ariel and her husband, so we are treeless! But I did get my creche up...and that means everything to me. A blessed Christmas and New Year to you and George!
Hi Betsy, I adore your Christmas wreaths and colorful lights.. your home sparkles with Christmas cheer!
I wish you a blessed Christmas.. see you next year :)
I love the last photo! Red is my favorite color anytime! Your house is so very lovely! Do you live in Tennessee? I'm from NC and visited Tennessee years.
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Serene Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family
a hug Elettra
You have a ton of decorations, LOL! It looks very pretty.
Very pretty Betsy. Was this before the wind blew everything away:)
We ended up getting less than an inch of snow but some places north of us got 6 in. We had high winds all day and night though.
I wish you and George a Merry Christmas!
So beautifully done - now all you need is some of our snow! Have a meaningful Christmas and God bless you both with your families! All the best for a great move into the New Year!
Picking up hubby today for two day passes! Yeah! The kids are all here too and we plan on having a special time!
Have a wonderful Christmas ~ may it be filled with love and joy! I enjoyed your Christmas photos throughout the years on your prior post. How fun to look back:)
WOW! you are really well adorned all around the house. This looks so cheerful. We only have front window lights, double door wteaths and a planter ful of seasonal branches and decorations by the front door outside.
Your home is beautifully decorated Betsy. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to you and George.
Very beautiful and a great photo of you and George! Have a Merry Christmas!

Hi Betsy,
The views from outside look cheerful and lovely for your Christmas... hope you all have had a lovely and great time too.
Have a wonderful break!
:-)
Gorgeous Christmas decorations, Betsy! Hope the two of you had a very blessed Christmas!
Happy Holidays!!!! I love when the lights are lit! There's nothing better than turning them on this time of year. Very pretty. Hope you had a great Christmas. We just got back and I'm catching up with everyone. This is such a difficult time of the year for everyone to try and fit everything in....and still make sure you get work done:) Wishing you all my best. Chris
Your home looks so festive and inviting.....
Hope you and George had a wonderful Christmas....
Everyone deserves a break (I took a 3 month one) ha
See you soon.
Take Care.
I love your decorations! We don't decorate outside anymore. It is just I who does all the decorating and the energy for it (by oneself) is just way too much.
Happy New Year, Dear Friends!!!

Your decorations are tasteful and beautiful! You don't need extremes to have a lovely Christmas decor. I like the lights you shine from your home - to welcome the birth of Jesus and passersby.
Enjoy the holidays - your header says it all.
