The house seems finished. We walked through yesterday. The hard part now is the waiting while the builder completes his finishing touches. Our closing is scheduled for Monday, December 14th. I will still have Blue Monday, though I will be slow responding to comments. However, you know that I will return all visits.
We'll have a carpenter come in for some finishing work on the living room wall and then the team of painters will work their magic. We'll move Thursday, December 17th.
So many of you have asked about Christmas, and as you can see, we will be in our home for Christmas! I will hang a wreath on our red door, and display my favorite nativity scene inside. That will be it for Christmas decorating; no tree this year. It doesn't bother me a bit. I'm enjoying all of your decorating.
And, yes, I'm VERY excited.

YEAH!! And we are excited with you and for you! Can't wait!
So glad you will be in before Christmas. I will start picking out things this week. I think I am changing the hardwood color. I just want something lighter. Kathy
I'm excited, too! I'm sure December 17th can't get here quickly enough!
How exciting!! I remember 3 years ago our move in. I don't think you ever forget it. So close now, just over 1 now!

Wow, how intense this must have been to be dealing with this so close to Christmas... but it sounds like you've got it under control.
How exciting! It will be great to spend the christmas in your new house!
Well, I have to say it, too - how exciting! It seems everything has gone really smoothly and stayed on schedule, which is great. And now you've got a brand new house for a Christmas present!
That is super! What a great contractor you must have used!!!

Looks like Santa will bring you the best Christmas gift of all. It has been a long road for you, but it will be worth it. The area you have built is lovely.
Sounds like the perfect Christmas gift and I'm so happy for you!
Oh, Sally, it will be so much fun to move into the new "digs" and get settled again.

Oh Sally I bet you are just thrilled!! I would be so excited to be in my new home!! That in itself is a PERFECT Christmas present.♥
Sally, I can't think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than by moving into your new home. It's not the decorations that make Christmas, anyway ... it's the love shared by family and friends, as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Best wishes to you and your family for the best Christmas ever!
How EXCITING ;-)
I've cut down significantly on holiday decorations and find that a few simple favorite things are perfect!
Hugs and blessings,
Home for Christmas! Very cool Sally!!
How exciting to get to the final countdown!
YAY! Congrats Sally ♥
I'm happy to hear that you will be in for Christmas, what an exciting time you'll have.
Maggie
Hooray for you, Sally!! You are moving in on my 23rd wedding anniversary...a special day for all of us!

Hi Sally
Wishing you much happiness in your new home. I hope your move goes well next week.
I have enjoyed my visit to your blog today. I loved hearing about your childhood memory of the blue bike. I had one similar to that but I wanted a basket on the front! I had been watching the ET movie!!
Best Wishes
Lindsay
Oh, wow...I know you love the Christmas song..."I'll be home for Christmas" cause YOU WILL !!
Woo Hoo !!
Your back yard is fantastic!
Congrats Sally... I'm so happy for you. I don't blame you for not doing alot of decorating this year. JUST being in the new house is special enough... AND--I'm sure you will have plenty to do for the rest of the month.
Hugs,
Betsy
Hip,Hip,Hooray and Merry Christmas!!
That's so exciting! I'm glad the end is in site for you. :)
Now that's a water feature, Sally :-). I've got my fingers crossed that you have a smooth move. I'm really glad you're not trying to overdo. The wreath on the door and a creche in the living room is all any of us need anyway.
How exciting! I can only imagine how happy you will be to get moved in and so thankful it will be before Christmas!
Oh Sally how wonderful. I know how excited you must be. Congratulations ♥ I love your little tree and bushes. They are so pretty!
