| The Christmas Village has found a new place in this home but it's been part of our Christmas traditions for many years. |
I am a mom to many and a wife to my best friend. We live on 10 acres of heaven on a small farm that needs lots of work and will keep us busy for years! We love people coming to visit, animals and the peace and quiet that you can only appreciate after living in the city for 20 years. I love to write about our adventures in homesteading, country living, food storage, canning and emergency preparedness.

Wow, it all looks so "gezellig" if you know what I mean!!! We got an 8 foot tree spruce out of our own woods yesterday as per tradition!!

Hi Caroline - there's no higher a compliment than gezellig (meaning cosy, homey, friendly, comfortable for those who are not versed in Dutch culture!) I can just imagine the tree in your house. I have such fond memories of spending time there with your family! hugs!
