'Twas the Weekend Before Christmas

I decided not to feature a Blogger of the Week this week as we are all so busy with Christmas preparations.  Instead I asked our previous Bloggers if they would like to send in a Christmas photo.

We start with the well-know poem; 'Twas the Night Before Christmas from Giovanna:

Prairie Schooler Book #63 Christmas Samplers

The house had been decorated with greenery by Sheryl and Melanie:

The next morning Ariadne, Deborah, DJ and Faith all awoke to find that Santa had left a special present, a world covered in snow!
