Merry XMas & a Prosperous New Year to All

sanford-bristol-house-snowWow what a year it has been. I got to admit parts have been very tough, but it was all for the best and I can’t wait to see what 2014 brings. I hope everyone has had a more peaceful & wonderful year, you all have a blessed Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) & here’s to a prosperous New Year. With that and with no further ado, our annual compilation of our favorite holiday related pieces & spoofs.

Looking for the ultimate Christmas Gift aka a Christmas Miracle is needed:

Are you or someone else interested in preserving & saving old historic homes? Consider a membership or make a donation in their name to the Milford Preservation Trust. Want to really take it up a notch, well it is fortunate that this house is still standing – unfortunately if it is not sold by January, it will be demolished. For 200K and some labor of love you can not only have a house worth an easy 500k but maybe even become Mayor. Photo & information courtesy of John Poole @ Birmingham Point sanford-bristol-house-snow

Pretty cool way of sharing the holiday spirit:

decor-girlLisa @ The Décor Girl & her #12DaysOfSharing – The challenge – find & share one blog piece from a different person each day that is not in your normal circles. Want in? Well while there are two days left for this years it is a good challenge to try at least once a week.
