  8. Yes, it’s Christmas time at Stone Gable, So glad to see all your ideas for Christmas and advice. I love Christmas, it’s such a magical time of year. I’m with you on using the faux greenery. I started to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving this year in our master bedroom with a small live northfork pine tree an an apothecary jar filled with white lights, snow and a glass snowman, very whimsical and soft. Can’t wait to see your Christmas house tour and tree theme. As usual so beautiful and fun to open your blog. God bless.
