Thank you, Penny! :-)

Yes! That's just it! The nostalgia is a big part of the enjoyment! :-)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Shirley-Ann. I am convinced winter must be especially beautiful and cozy in England. :-)

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Kristen! And a little glimpse of your week. :-) It all sounds so cozy and homey ... how I wish I could pop on over for a cup or two. Someday maybe!

LOL, Penny! Thank you so much, as always, for the kind words - and the smiles! :-)

Thank you, Ellen! I too am looking forward to the quiet and peace of January! :-)

Thank you so much, Wendy! :-)

Thank you so much, Shelly! If you wanted to share a picture, you can email it to me as an attached file ... drhanigan AT gmail DOT com Just let me know what you'd like to say about your picture and I will include it in my post. I am working on it now ... all about envisioning a cozy "winter's nest." Blessings to you!

Thank you so much for reading and sharing, Grace! :)

Oh, such wonderful (and truthfully, hilarious!) memories, Kristen! Thank you for sharing them. And thank YOU (and J and g) for traveling up to New England and sharing the holiday with us. It will always be a Thanksgiving memory I treasure. :)

Thank you so much, Mum! This was absolutely, a Thanksgiving to treasure. As I said on my "leaf" - every year we can all be together is a gift! Love you ...
