One of our favorite December traditions has always been hosting a holiday open house. It's fun to share our space with friends and neighbors when it's looking a little different. We don't usually have a lot of red to add color to our decor and certainly seldom have Santa Claus peeking at us from spaces all over our condo. We've had December open houses almost every year since about 1975......lots of different houses with lots of different friends from Wisconsin, and New Jersey, and Delaware, and Illinois. Wherever we lived, this holiday happening was a favorite.
Sigh. Not this year. We are all decorated but no one will be coming over. So I share a few pictures from what you would see starting at our front door.
The only good thing about this, if there is a good thing, is the fact I don't have to dust or make any h'ors d'oeuvres to share.
Trying to find ways to celebrate the season while basically staying on our own. Hopefully next year the condo will be filled not only with our holiday decorations but also with the conversation and laughter provided by those who can join us!
What-no good food to share!
