I thought it would be a nice change just to surprise him with little gifts throughout the weeks leading up to Christmas instead. While he likes them and is grateful, you can see in his eye its just not the same. lol Your home and "new' garden looks lovely. Merry Christmas.

My 4 kiddos all in their 20's now will speak their mind..."where is this? "what happened to that?...funny i hear it more from my boys (3) of them than my daughter. You are so right about the stockings...their old bright red and green stockings get displayed only Christmas Eve night to be filled with goodies. Some how my chocolate and gold colored damask newer stockings just don't have the Christmas Spirit for them. Your garden looks great and with time will fill...Have a beautiful Christmas with your family.

My kids are the same way. Two years ago I did a woodland themed Christmas tree and they were not happy and let me know they wanted the Santa and snowmen ornaments we use every year! Love our new garden. I also had everything pulled out of the front of the house and put in a new garden and I wish I had a magic potion that would make it grow and fill in faster! :)Lisa @ Fern Creek Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287545465263466560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134826733437250835.post-56625242501494878232015-12-17T02:29:47.516+02:002015-12-17T02:29:47.516+02:00Oh gosh your boys comments hit home. My children ...Oh gosh your boys comments hit home. My children are no longer children but it is funny how they don't really like change especially where Christmas traditions are concerned! I think those bags are darling and love that idea...more room for more goodies! I toned down my decor this year a bit. Next year it is getting way toned down.

They may want their own dorm rooms or apartments to be hip, but tradition seems to rule the day with both of our adult sons. It's really kind of sweet...even though the burlap bags were great looking.]<br />I hope you have a lovely holiday with your family. I like your new garden.<br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.com
