Happy Christmas to you Ruby. Enjoy the season and here are very best wishes for a peaceful New Year.
Lovely collection of book, card, and other Christmas items. The dog looks nice in Santa Clause clothes. I’m excited to imagine how my three-year-old granddaughter would be pleased when she gets awake on the Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, ruby!

Lovely images! Love your cute puppy dog! Thank you for linking up to Saturday's Critters.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
A Happy Christmas to you too. Those old illustrated books are so wonderful to watch. I see they called Santa "St. Nicolas", like our Sint Nicolaas or Sinterklaas as we name him.
I have the very SAME book!!! And I treasure the 'old time' images within.
Your doggie is just too cute in its Santa suit!
I enjoyed seeing the old illustrations of that famous poem!
You have the cutest Santa! A Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely dogs! : )
I love the vintage images and your cute little dog!
Lovely artwork. And what a sweet Christmas doggie!!
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
RW & SK

I would love to find a book like that at the thrift store. Just awesome Ruby. Woke early so I can plan my day of things to do. Just popped in to check my email and hopped over to my blog and seen your very nice comment. I came here to say to you that I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thank you for stopping by my blog this past year. I appreciate your comments and love your blog. Time now to plan day. Take care and God Bless You.
Great images particularly of Maddy in her santa coat! As I thought there might be, there was a sprinkling of snow on the hills when I got back. Thanks so much for a lovely solstice
