Beautiful and festive, to celebrate dear friends.

Ruh-roh poor Santa is stuck in the chimney of the biggest gingerbread house in the world. Hotel Fairmont, San Francisco.

Love these funky birdhouses with old Victrola style record player “speakers” as rooves. Made by Ludmil Marcov and more info via Lynda Flynn 805-548-1880. Saw them recently at a flea mkt in Buellton organized by @danadicroce

A handful of Christmases, a decade and some, in the blink of an eye. My nieces and nephew all grown up. Regram from @ruthfuqua

A prayer to begin the week and to remember the spirit of the season, by the Rev Thomas Mustard:
Be careful as you go into God’s creation/ For it does not belong to us/ Be gentle with yourself and others/ For we are the dwelling place of the most high/ Be alert and be silent/ For God is a whisper

The vineyard color is all the more vibrant against an overcast sky. This is Crossroads, the original Firestone property, now Foley. #crossroads #foxencanyon #losolivos #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry
