All is Calm


 At the end of these busy days I often find myself quite content to be snuggled into bed watching a Christmas movie.  
The only light in the room is my little angel Christmas tree.
Before I set it up I dusted and vacuumed and stashed away all of the everyday knick knacks.
It's such a cozy feeling to be curled up under the covers and look across the room to see this little touch of Christmas.  
I have it on a timer and sometimes I just like laying there enjoying the soft glow as I drift off to slumber land.  

I think it's nice to create special little spots around the home that provide a calm and restful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the season.  
Have you found a favorite place to be calm amidst the hustle and bustle?

  1. What a sweet tree in your bedroom. That is one room that I don't decorate I guess. Your new header is very pretty. I guess I like to enjoy the Christmas lights in our living room. Have a great week.

  2. You have created such a sweet focal point in your bedroom...perfectly comforting. I do love to sit near my tree as I'm doing now listening to carols and visiting friends.

  4. As I read your words and saw the pictures, I could understand the comfort you felt, as you looked at that pretty little tree. I too, love to curl up on the soft chair beside my decorated tree. I love the feel of Christmas. Thanks for sharing another touch of the beauty of your home.

  6. The peace you feel looking at the tree comes across as you write about it. : ) I remember now that you, vee, and I all have the same Nativity set.
    I like sitting in the chair by our tree looking at the lights. I still have to get the ornaments and tinsel on it, but I love looking at those lights.

  7. It is definitely looking cozy over there! I like to curl up on my bed and enjoy the Christmas lights just outside the windows...the fireplace on and a book in hand are nice too.

  8. I like to tuck a blanket over my knees, prop a pillow behind my back, and curl up on the couch. I can look at the lighted tree or outdoors. Finding peace in the midst of busyness is so lovely. Your angel tree just glows.

  9. Hi Kim! Aw, that's very sweet! I can see why you like to snuggle there!
    I like to decorate my mantle in the family room, but I think I threw away my garlands because they were shabby. Maybe I'll hunt for new ones this weekend.

  10. Clearing the decks. I have been wondering why my decorations are not evoking calm and comfort...and your post made me realize I've plopped Christmas on top of daily life. Today I will remove the extraneous stuff and see if a redo helps. Thank you.

  11. Hi Kim,
    Your lit up tree is pretty, and it must look so nice with the lights glowing in the dark. I like the little angel too, she's sweet.

    Enjoy the Christmas season!

    Love,
