A HOMEY CHRISTMAS IN ROME
There's "Joan's Rome" and there's Joan's home! A home in which I love to welcome visitors and have guests for dinner or even a happy hour with some great prosecco! My dining room table is always set for 4 people – I mean, you never know!
I love the seasons, and try to set the table so you know when you see it that we are in summer, fall, winter, spring but especially Christmas and Easter.
Two choices for Christmas…
Welcome to Christmas! It starts at my front door…
And continues in my entryway with the nativity set from Bethlehem…
Let's walk down the hall to my office….
And the stockings are hung by Joan's bar with great care….
There's always an Advent calendar....
In the dining room, you'll find Jingle Bear, sitting on a small rocking chair my paternal grandmother gave me when I was 3….
The living room features my Lladro nativity scene (up all year)....

...And my tree and many of my favorite ornaments! The pink baby rattle is mine - my Mom hung it as an ornament on our Christmas tree every year, starting with my first Christmas. It still goes on my tree! I love tradition!
