Willow Tree Gardens and Interiors Part 2: The Christmas Open House

Some years, I save all of my Christmas visit posts for the twelve days of Christmas which start on the twenty-fifth of December. However, I (mostly) love the holiday season and since advent is a time of preparation, it's fun to think about possibilities now. Even though I'd like to be more curmudgeonly about the crazy month - long carnival that Christmas has become, I find myself smiling at strangers in stores and humming along with the carols blaring from every speaker ever made.

Foxes seem to be very popular this year and reminded me of Shirley who collects them and writes the blog Rock-Oak-Deer.  This is a slink little number if ever I've seen one.

Frosty white.

More foxes!

You're telling me!  Although, our temperatures have warmed considerably since our recent freezing nights and it's raining again, it's still a bit chilly.

It's a crime that we don't have cardinals here.  Would that be a cardinal sin? 

It might be fun to someday do a tree all in sliver. 

Forgot to take a picture of the complimentary cookies and warm beverages.  Isn't this time of year (mostly) fun?

I love the twig wreaths displayed on old windows like this.  

Did I mention Foxes? 

Cool use for trellises.

Not quite a multitude of the heavenly host.

One last fox for the road. 

I hope you enjoyed coming along on this annual event.  There are more Christmas open houses  to come!
