I love seeing all your Christmas displays and I totally understand the way you turn the Christmas lights on as soon as you arrive home. I always turn the lights on as soon as I go downstairs in the morning so that when everyone else comes down in the morning they are on. Not that anyone seems to notice, but still.

I love the story of each one, especially your quilt. That is really a treasure you have hanging there! I've never heard of that pattern, "Step Around the Mountain".

There is only me and my two furry rascals...all I put out on my coffee table now is golden paper mache reindeer - oh, yes and a Santa. And I must do that today. The Christmas spirit has hit me yet...it's running late, isn't it...either that or its aim is off! :)<br /><br />Great story about the quilts.

How amazing to have one of your paternal grandmother's quilts ... how exceedingly fortunate and how interesting to know the squares came from flour sacks c 1920s ... lovely history ... cheers and enjoy the rest of the Christmas build up ..
