RNS Readers Ten Favorite Posts from Christmas Past
Happy Sunday Y’all!
As I’m recovering from hosting a party for about 60 family members last night (my poor feet are still howling in pain!), I decided to get moving on Christmas decorating plans. Except that after painting 3 bathrooms, the stairway banister, packing up the yard for fall and all the hundreds of other pre-party details I’ve checked off my list in the last 3 weeks… I can’t actually move.
It’s our first Christmas in the new house so I’m trying to figure out what goes where… from the comfort of my couch by the blazing fireplace!
I thought it would help jog my memory if I took a stroll through Christmas past on my blog. Here are the holiday posts that you all visited the most!

I hope so because I’ve definitely made myself homesick for our old house! But life moves on and hopefully…. I’ll recover from last night’s party and be rolling again soon!
