@qurator has a Monday Missions competition going and this week the theme is all about Christmas.

You can read all the rules here

I've gotten used to the fact that in my family we wait to celebrate
'Wintermas' (thanks for that great term for the December holidays @thekittygirl) on the weekend after Christmas.

We have family birthdays to celebrate and we will be welcoming in the new decade, too.

It will be strange this year because my 86 year old mother has been in the hospital since Thanksgiving and she is not doing well.

I still have lots of preparations before everyone arrives!

No matter which December holiday your celebrate, I hope it is a joyful one!

I love the idea of a "Wintermas" celebration on the weekend after Christmas - sounds like a lovely tradition, Melinda! Keeping your mother in my thoughts, and I hope you all manage to have a wonderful celebration together.

It stretches the holiday out for all of us, and this way I get everyone for days, instead of just a few hours before they dash off to another family celebration. Happy Wintermas!

I don't do a lot of decorating, but those little trees are easy to put up and I do like how they look!

Your place looks festive already! It looks ready for company, cookies, and cocoa. Sorry to hear about your mother. Will she be able to celebrate with you at all?

I miss Christmas in Spain. It goes through the Epiphany on January 6, when gifts are opened. Mostly, though, I miss the polvorones (christmas goodie), though!

It is starting to feel a bit like Christmas around here!
They have transferred mom to University Hospital in Madison. She has some pretty serious stuff going on, much of which seems to have been caused by drugs she has been given for various ailments.
Christmas in Spain would be lovely!

Ha! Compared to your wonderful ornament post it is indeed short! I don't think I have ever done a post as long as yours!
I suppose we will both see plenty of snow before the season is over!

Sorry to hear your Mom is not doing so well Melinda, thoughts are with you over this period.

Decorating is a thing of the past, I gave my tree and all decorations to a needing caring family who had never enjoyed Christmas with young ones in the home.

As a family of all adults we enjoy a lovely dinner together enjoying each others company.

Here is to wish you and yours a wonderful "wintermas" possibly all in white outdoors, while we enjoy the warmer weather in mid-summer @melinda010100

Thanks, Joan! There is talk of transferring my mom out of the hospital into a nursing care facility. She seems OK with the decision.

Good decision about decorating! I would be fine with that, but the kids and grandkids insist on decorating and as long as they do all the work I am good with that!

The 10 day forecast does not look hopeful for a white Christmas, but that will make travel so much easier for everyone if we don't have bad weather.

Best place for round the clock care, always sad to make the decision, unfortunately having a nurse in a private home with day/night shifts is no longer affordable.

It is good fun decorating when children are young, boys got older then stated the fuss was not necessary. Now I dress the table in African style outdoors for the dinner which still gives me a little to think about, using what is available in the garden.

Our forecast is thunder storms with rain for the next week, wishing you a terrific time with your family and friends if I don't get to chat again before Christmas.
