Especially during Christmas, our hearts long for the simpler days when a holiday was antipated not so highly for the piles of gifts, but simply for the chance to spend time with friends and loved ones.

Historians often tell of a bygone era, when Christmas was a day to receive visitors into our homes.  Hosts would “lay out”  an abundance of sweets and savories, ready to welcome their guests, and Townsfolk would promenade from house to house, greeting one and all, enjoying the food and the companionship of their friends and neighbors.

We’ve come a long way since those days.  And while we’re  a bit sad about the passing of such a warm tradition, we wondered if you might enjoy a tour of our home at Christmas?

We would offer you a cookie or a warm cup of Christmas Cheer if we could, but we do hope you’ll find yourself “at home” in our photo tour  – as well as in our hearts – this holiday season.

Welcome to our home. May the blessings of this Christmas Season be yours!
