Pink holiday christmas decorating by Jo-Anne Coletti

Christmas Past & Present

Christmas in the Victorian days was the most treasured of times. A charming celebration with the most lavished of decorations to bring in the splendor of the holiday season. Christmastime is for giving and sharing with the ones we love and the ones we've never even met. A time to share in the memories of Christmas past and present and the many more memories to come. Let us take you back to a gentler time of an old fashion Dickens style holiday; and possible a visit from old St. Nick.

Pink Christmas Eve

Christmas roses, snow angels, pink lights, ribbons and beads are a romantic sight to see on this very PINK Christmas Eve!

A Little Christmas Magic

Setting the stage for a beautiful Christmassy home all begins in the details. The scent of Christmas. The smell of pine, fragrant cinnamon potpourri and fresh sugar cookies baking smell heavenly and inviting. The fragrance brings back nostalgic memories of Christmas's past and the hope of new Christmas memories to be made. The flowers of Christmas...fresh pine swags intertwined with roses, white lilies and sprigs of holly bring a bit of nature indoors. Beautiful table arrangements where fresh floral arrangements take center stage or pretty little bouquets on each guests bed makes the home cozy and extra special for holidays.

Christmas is a time of love...do something special each day to brighten someone's day. Christmas is a time of miracles be that blessing to someone and you will be blessed in return..

Magical Sleigh Ride

A magical pastel sleigh filled with keepsake boxes of velvet ribbons & bows awaits every little boy and girls wishes of little toy soldiers, warm teddy bears, china dolls and the sugarplum fairy. Christmas eve when I was a young girl, my mother would nestle us in cozy and warm and read us our favorite Christmas stories, T'was the Night Before Christmas and "The Star of Bethlehem". She would kiss us good night making certain we were comfortable and cozy, then quietly tip toe downstairs to work her magic. As I tried to shut my eyes ever so tight, anxiously waiting old St. Nick, I could faintly hear my mothers sweet voice singing softly while she baked apple and pumpkin pies and wrapped gifts till the wee hours. Through the night the smell of turkey roasting in the oven, gingerbread, nutmeg and cinnamon is a sweet remembrance long cherished in my mind. One of the greatest gifts of all is the warmth and love of our family.

Twinkle in The Season

Trim the tree in pink cheer! Pink lights, Christmas roses, glistening angels, pearly beads, frosty fruit, satin ribbon & romantic ruffles, soft pastels, and vintage linens will warm the heart of even Ebenezer Scrooge himself!

Make it a Family Affair!

There's something magically about cutting down your very own Christmas tree. Make it a family affair and visit a Christmas tree farm in the countryside. It's a great way to ring in the holiday spirit. Set the mood for tree decorating with holiday music, a warming fire and hot cocoa. Old fashion ornaments and homemade decorations with plenty of sparkles add a pretty personal touch.

A Very Pink St. Nick

Christmas is a Time For Love

Christmas is a time for Love;

a time for Joy and Peace;

A time to trim the Christmas Tree

 and a time to stuff the geese.

It's a time when we can come together,

however far or near;

To shed a little hope into a world of

sorrow and fear.

 Yet Christmas could be all year 'round,

 if only we would try

To gently wipe an old man's brow or

 soothe a baby's cry.

If we could smile throughout the year

 as we do on Christmas Day;

Just think what happiness

we'd shed along life's weary way.

 To give a gift of Hope to one

who otherwise has none;

To be a Friend to somebody

whom everyone else has shun.

To be Forgiving of our faults,

and of our sisters and our brothers;

To Live in Peace and Harmony with

ourselves and with each other.

 Ah, don't you see that Christmas is more

 than opening up the gifts;

It's more than singing Christmas Carols

 and rolling in big snow drifts.

It's a feeling that can stay with you

throughout each day, all year;

And all it takes is a loving heart

and a sensitive tear.
