With so many beautifully decorated homes in the area, this photo I took my first winter in Minnesota remains a favorite. In its simplicity, the smiling gingerbread men seem to send good wishes of the season. Visit Mary's meme Ruby Tuesday to see more seasonal reds.
It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour. from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Noni, I am shoveling out but not so much in Celebration! Bah Humbug! Happy Christmas to you and all your family and friends! :) I love your quotes.
The gingerbread Santa looks delicious! And yes, that is a pretty decoration.
what a delightful photo, love the gingerbread men :)..i have to agree with you some of the decorations are way too over the top..
the season makes it easy to spot the red.
I like this sort of simple decoraion. It really appeals to me!
Th simplicity is the key here. Gaudy and overstated seems to be the Christmas style we often see. This is of an understated style .
Minnesota is beautiful, but I don't remember the winter but the summer is great. The land of 10000 Lakes is gorgeous!
That is a great photo. I love the gingerbread smiling out from behind the greens. And the Dickens....He was right. The beautiful man.
I love the gingerbread man and the smile on his face. I have a friend who collects gingerbread men. I think of her every time I see one.
Ho-Ho-Ho!!!
I really like you quotes. Gingerbread smells great but I am not fond of the cookie. He is cute. HRT
Thanks for the true spirit of Christmas!
Aloha, Friend
