Glam Pad featured a young Charleston blogger and her family as they celebrate the holiday.  Thought it was sweet.

Here is Jillian Eversole at her mother's home with her husband and boys--

The kids' grandmother has personalized mugs for everyone--

A wonderful collection of Christmas enamel Battersea boxes on a silver tray with Santa--

A little child would find those colorful, pretty boxes mighty fascinating!

It looks like it is warm enough to eat on the verandah!

Christmas books on display... has anyone read Capote's "A Christmas Memory"?  The movie was great too.

Then, back in Jillian's own home--

A grandmother and some aunts needlepointed the Christmas stockings--

Beautiful dining room...

Love her centerpiece, with the German handmade wooden ring of angels playing music--

Hey, call me retro, I like Dad's dress code for opening presents-- sharp!

A fun, southern-accented Christmas!

Too much for  me. But I am from the school less is better.

  I liked the dining room table setting . I also liked  the green patterned  chair upholstery  and  coordinating green placemats .

 The old fashion  dried orange rings were nice

If you can, see the Capote story in the version with Geraldine Page.  I cry and cry when I see that.  My beloved uncle and I flew kites.  I can cry thinking about it.  They are all gone now.

I hope this beautiful family have a beautiful like together in that lovely home.  It's all dream worthy.

I like the mugs!

Not really a fan of this one. The first photo of the family is nice. I like the hand made stockings and the porch. 

The dining table, chairs, and dinnerware are way too busy for me with all their competing prints. I don't care for the floral drapes and all the oranges.

Another home that gives me vertigo especially the dining room table.

Their tree reminds me of years past Christmases. Is that the old fashioned tinsel that you kind of just threw on the branches? I actually really like that look..It fits this tree perfectly.

That's a cute family but I'm not fond of her mother's decor choices (colors, prints, etc.).  However, unlike @wilma , I do like the oranges incorporated with the Christmas decorations.  I'm not sure why as it doesn't really say 'Christmas" to me but I do like it.

@Sooner ,  that's what immediately grabbed me too!   My Dad and I loved to fly kites, whenever the weather would cooperate, which wasn't all that often!  But such an exhilarating feeling-- running with a kite soaring above...

Come to think of it, you must have had ideal kite conditions, in Oklahoma,  with the wind and the prairie.

Saw the Geraldine Page version -  loved, loved it, cried buckets as well.  That little boy too.  The kite, and oh the fruitcake.  He and Sook going all over hill and dale gathering the ingredients, baking, and then sending the luscious cakes to the White House ( I think?) and to nice people they had met at random...
