I could have found a bunch of Christmas images online for my Friday photoblog. But nobody does Christmas better than my wife. So I grabbed my phone and began chronicling how Trudy beautifies our home every Christmas. Sure, I help with the tree and string a few lights outside, but 90% of it is from her hands. And 100% of it is from her heart.

Ahhh, lovely Mitch! Merry Christmas! 🙂
Thank you, and likewise, Gabrielle❣
Absolutely delightful. May you and Trudy and whoever comes home for Christmas have a blessed celebration of the birth that changed everything.
Thank, Gail, and likewise, dear friend.
Wow! I love the tree especially, and your room with the fireplace looks just so cosy <3
Thank you, Catherin. We love to read, play games, and talk by the fire there.
yes that chair looks amazing for flame gazing, too
Amazing decorations on the tree…I bet each one has a whole backstory too
Many of them do, yes.
Such a beautiful home Mitch. I can feel the love she put into doing the home. The night pictures are gorgeous.
Thank you, Iba. 🧡
Delightful decor
Thanks, Sheree.
Awesome
Thank you for the treat. Neither of us has the energy to do much this year, so this is truly a Trudy treat!
Aw, bless you, Joy❣
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mitch.
You too, Andrew!
Thanks.
Beautiful and magical! Loved the moon with the tiny baby.
That one’s particularly special to us. It was given to us for the our oldest child’s first birthday.
That would be a great title to a Christmas song…. get writing Mitch!
She did do a beautiful job!
;>) Thanks, Max!
Gorgeous, Mitch. You have a beautiful home and your wife has decorated it so beautifully. I love your front door especially. Merry Christmas. May it overflow with God’s blessings for you and your family.
Thank you, and likewise, Diane.
Lovely!! Love the shoe and the teapot on the tree especially.
Thanks, Carolyn. We love collecting one-of-a-kind ornaments.
What a fun idea. Have you seen the movie Christmas Shoes? I had a red shoe on our tree for many years after that movie, as a reminder about the meaning of the movie. 🙂
No, I don’t believe we’ve seen that one, Carolyn. Have to check it out!
Highly recommend, but make sure you have tissues close by!
Beautiful pictures thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas
You too, Eileen!
Wow! That looks like a Hallmark greeting card. 🙂

Thank you, Graham! Likewise, my friend.

Beautiful! I do agree with the Grinch quote, but I also love decorating. It is family time when my grandkids come over to help with the tree. It is also so many memories, as I have a travel tree with ornaments from our travels. It doesn’t mean I don’t remember and celebrate the first Christmas.
I love that you recognize and honor her work.
How could I not? I’m truly blessed. And good to meet you, btw.
She did an excellent job decorating your hope! Happy Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you, and likewise, Ann❣
Absolutely beautiful! A simple, classic Christmas! It’s a shame to take it all down, but it gives us something to look forward to next Christmas season 🙂 I hope your new year is off to a beautiful start!
Thank you, and likewise, Beth!
How beautiful 🎄You are very lucky to have such a talented and homely wife
