You are my inspiration Papa
You are my inspiration Papa
Your home is so inviting.
Those lit up hanging ornaments with the cut-outs always catch my eye- very pretty.
A lot of work, but much appreciated.
The holly's up, the house is all bright, The tree is ready, the candles alight; Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight.
I am quite humbled to be an inspiration to such a talented decorator as yourself.
Although our styles are different we both tend to go all out at Christmas and that is a wonderful thing.
If you are able to spread joy,happiness and delight among your friends, family and even strangers it seems as though it comes back to you ten fold.
We are lucky indeed to be Christmas Crazy.

These are beautiful, Papa! By the way, congratulations on the OSU win last night. They were definitely the best team on the field. They're going to be hard to stop next year, too!

Lovely photos, Dave.... I hope your house will not look now empty, after moving all decorations, friend...
Personally, I would have got deeply depressed, after removing all that Christmas decoration!!!!! Looks so beautiful and it just makes you wish this could last forever...

Beautiful pictures! I love your tree decoration and fire place...
I can't believe I missed the last few photos until just now. This picture in particular really brought tears to my eyes! It's exactly how I imagine the most perfect Christmas Eve Night/Christmas Morning. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing, Papa - I really really hope you know how much happiness and joy you bring into my life ever year!
