Happy Friday, friends! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for today's blog post. How has your week been? Mine has been good, and without some of the drama that has become so prevalent in my life. I have some favorites from this week that I'd love to share with you!
favorite Christmas movies
I shared about Jingle Bell Run already, but this second one takes the current first place prize. I love Candace Cameron Bure, and anything she stars in will always be my favorite. This one had such a great message of redemption that spoke right to my heart. It's on the Great American Family network, or the GAC network on streaming apps or cable. Do you have any favorites in this category yet?
around town
Graham came over Monday night to show off his decked out truck! I've never been so proud of one of my sons in all their lives. I love that he loves Christmas as much as his mom; he even put up his tree the day after I did mine! I love that my sons love Christmas, although some of them more than others.
at home
This is a flocked Christmas tree that my mom gave me a few years ago; I actually think it was part of my birthday gift, but for whatever reason, I never put lights on it until this year. It's my favorite part of my bedroom!
Some of my favorite things are in this beautiful hutch that came from my dad's house.
Seeing Jonah and his friends enjoying a fire in the firepit will always be one of my favorite things!
This book is listed as one of Shay's favorites, and I'm hoping it will become one of mine!
Several years ago, I decided I wanted to use cloth napkins at Christmas, so my Mom made these for me that year. But I never used them as napkins! I am now, though, and I couldn't be happier.
These are some of my favorite items in my collection of Christmas decor.
When I was in Colorado earlier this month, my sister Debi bought all of us matching sisters Christmas coffee mugs. I love this one! It came from Home Goods and has a lid. Insulated mugs with lids are my favorite thing to drink coffee out of in the morning because I like my coffee to be piping hot.
These added things to make my bedroom cozy are my favorite. Who doesn't love twinkly lights and plush blankets?
What was a favorite of yours from this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

Those napkins are adorable and I LOVE Graham's truck- making me want to do this on my Jeep...hmmm ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Go for it! We've seen Jeeps around town that have done the same thing. He attached the lights with gaffe tape. Keep me posted!
DeleteAgain, thank you for the movie recs. I am not sure I have all the streaming services necessary and we are trying to pare down how many we have.
ReplyDeleteI love cloth napkins and have a big bowl of colorful ones for year round but Christmas ones! Yes! I will look at TJ Maxx! And, I was also thinking of a Christmas mug!
You're welcome! I get that and will be doing the same eventually. I think you should find some Christmas cloth napkins and a new mug. I love mine!
DeleteI think I made the same comment on Instagram but I love love love Graham's truck. It's so festive! I also really like the nutcracker mug. I don't drink hot beverages so I can't justify buying it but it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Isn't it so much fun? I ran into him last night and saw his bright truck when he drove by. I love hearing people talk about it and also ran into a family who was gushing over it last night as I walked out of the restaurant. He loves seeing the reactions of little kids and does it for them. I hope you have a great weekend!
DeleteThanks for the movie recommendations! I know what I'm watching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you enjoy them!
DeleteThose cloth napkins are fabulous!! You have a great list of festive favorites here.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel so fancy using cloth napkins, but I love them.
DeleteI just bought a set of 4 gingerbread mugs, and and a Christmas candle from Wal Mart. They have great deals on some cute Christmas decor. With Thanksgiving break starting today, I think we will start watching some Christmas movies!
ReplyDeleteThose sound amazing! I love the Christmas decor at Walmart; I love everything at Walmart!
DeleteYour son is really spreading Christmas joy with his truck! And those napkins your mom sewed are quite a keepsake. I’m enjoying our living room in the evening with the Christmas tree, village, and seeing the icicle lights in the front window (with the pups curled up on the couches). Hope your weekend is full of of many blessings!
ReplyDeleteHe is, and I love it! I love that about the napkins being a keepsake. I've never thought of that before, but you're right! I hope you had a great weekend!
DeleteI was so impressed with the lights on Graham's truck. I showed the picture to Jack and he loved it too! It would be so fun seeing that driving around town. Love your Christmas decorations.
ReplyDeleteI was too! Aw, that's cool that he liked it too. So many vehicles do that here! We take our Christmas festivities pretty seriously, apparently. Thanks, friend!
DeleteSeeing that truck on the road would make me so happy, it’s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRight? I feel the same way!
DeleteMy favorite thing this week was Matt Gaetz dropping out of the nomination for attorney general, and the subsequent nomination of Pam Bondi.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad those things made you happy!
DeleteLOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Oh, I just love it all, my friend. Your Christmas home is festive and cozy and twinkly!! Thank you for sharing, and I pray you are surrounded in peace and joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I truly love this time of year. I so appreciate that!
DeleteOh wow! That truck is amazing and it is wonderful that your sons get so excited for Christmas, my two don't really get into the Christmas hype until a couple of weeks before the big day. I love all of your Christmas decor and that coffee mug is huge!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love that about them. I'm glad your two get into it eventually!
