Christmas Carols: Deck the Halls Part 3

Pin It

See the blazing yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Join we now in merry measure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell of Christmas treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la.

I love my bedroom.  I really do.

 But as I was taking pictures of the Christmas bedrooms in my friend Denise's house,
I stopped for a moment, put the camera down, and sighed.

 "Can I come and be a guest in your house someday?"  I said.

"Absolutely," she replied.

You see, none of the bedrooms in Denise's house were strewn with wrapping paper scraps or unfolded laundry or plastic army men.  None of her bedrooms had fresh crayon markings on the walls.  And absolutely none of them smelled faintly of Cheez-its.

Now, I wouldn't trade the little havoc-wreaking people in my home for all the rooms in Pemberley, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to walk past the bedrooms in my house without having to gulp and close the door.

That's why I go to Denise's house---so I can happily walk into guest rooms like this, with their headboards decorated in pine and angel wings . . .

with its accompanying bathroom that wishes me a Merry Christmas from above the mirror.

 I love to linger in her little girl's sugarplum room with its delectable headboard . . .

and its delightful pink Christmas tree.

Don't you just love this little gingerbread house with its resident ghost? 

The master bedroom is just as dreamy with its peacock feather wreath above the bed . . .

and its beautiful fireplace dressed in rich browns and shimmering blues.

As an added treat, I thought I'd also give you a sneak peak at the adorable Arctic family room, with its red and white tree . . .

and penguin escorts.

If you look closely, you'll see penguins in every corner of this charming room---and some are even wearing Santa hats . . .

I always hate to leave this jaw-dropping home . . .

But at least I know there is always a place to come back to when the smell of Cheez-its becomes overwhelming at my own.
