    What fun if only… I love the plaid plates. I know who else will love those. It would be interesting to go carolling this year. I would do it if I had any friends who would sing. My family would prefer to let me go alone.

      Haha! How about we do Zoom-Caroling?! You go singing around your neighborhood carrying your laptop, and I’ll back you up with the harmony! 😉

    What a fun post! We had a Hallmark movie filmed recently in a nearby town and it was so neat to see how they stage all the areas for maximum Christmas feels and comfort.

    Wonderful ideas Chas! I almost never watch TV or movies except for the Hallmark movies at Christmas while I’m wrapping gifts. I haven’t seen one I didn’t like. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Thanks Kim, and that’s exactly what I do… multi-task while the Hallmark movies are on. We have a lot of giggles over them and we all enjoy them.
