12 Days of Folksy Day 3 - Comfort & Joy

When we think of Comfort and Joy at Christmas time we usually think of the hymn God Rest you Merry Gentlemen, but what does Comfort and Joy mean to you? Language across time changes and evolves and Comfort and Joy will mean something different to everyone.

Comfort can be contentment, relaxation, warmth and cosiness, Joy can be happiness, merriment, delight and wonderment.

My Comfort is spending Christmas at home. My Joy is being with my family.

I asked people close to me what it meant to them, these are just a few of the replies.

The comfortable feeling of having family gathered together.

The joy of having a break from work.

The ability to snuggle up and watch feel good festive films.

The closeness we feel by receiving cards and being remembered.

Whatever your take on the meaning of Comfort & Joy I hope you can all

Chill Out and have Fun

12 Days of Folksy, Day 8 - Let it Snow

Today is Day 8 of the #12DaysofFolksyand and it's #LetItSnow yes folks, it's Let it Snow, now I don't know about you but I like to see pretty pictures of snow, I like to look out of the window at a beautiful blanket of whiteness, with picturesque icicles hanging from the eves, it's even nice to stroll  about the park and admire the view or build a snowman with the children.... but, it's not good for driving in, not good for slip sliding your way to the stores to get the shopping in and not good for trying to keep your hands warm and dry whilst building said snowman.

12 Days of Folksy, Day 6 - Christmas Tree

It's Day 6 of the 12 Days of Folksy, today it's all about trees.

Christmas trees always look so pretty, whether it's decorated in traditional red and green colours, a jumble of handmade childrens decorations or or colour theme that matches your decor.

This Little Wooden House is handpainted onto block pine with a Christmas Scene.
The painted details are on all sides, it has a little wooden Christmas tree in the garden. This would look at home anywhere.
