Holidays are Coming, Holidays are Coming

 


I love this years Coca Cola ad, Holiday's Are Coming video HERE
I have watched it half of a zillion times.

This is Christmas Nook 2025


there is nothing new in it this year, and has not been for about 3 years when I went from a 22 inch tree to this 18 inch. But the label above shows the nook changes its look every year. The mirrors have been there since 1991. the nook was there when we bought the house in 1989.





Christmas past and something red and almost all in the nook are from Christmas Past, Santa's are 40 years old, Charlie Brown tree is from 2020. 
Can you see the reflection in the  middle that looks like a small tree? That is my Vintage Santa on the counter across the room and this is Santa's reflection in my To DO list on the fridge and looks like a small tree. 
This is the label for Christmas Nook each year.

Just for PHUN I ask Google AI on my phone to put my Santa in an ugly Christmas Sweater. 
Hey, Hey, Hey, I got Swag, Check it Out!

Sandra Claus has Swag tooooo

I had not seen this ad, it is adorable! I love all the animals! I really like the red bear in your sleigh, too. What does "bike ride" mean? Of course I had to read your entire list!

I can see why you watch that advertisement again and again. It's lovely. It's just a pity it's for such an awful product.

I have always enjoyed seeing your nook. I love the lights.
I knew the commercial the minute I read your title.

Mari said...

Your Christmas nook is perfect...Beautiful!! Isn't it amazing what all AI can do? We played around with some pictures and they really turned out pretty good. I've been singing "Christmas times a coming" all morning long. Happy Sunday Sandra

What an adorable gathering -- from Claus' co-pilot right down to Santa's "ugly sweater"! Of course, my favorite are those stamp images of Sandra. (Suppose the US Postal Service would accept them as currency on my holiday mail?)
Your new header rocks!

That video was really sweet. Love the photos of the Nook. I don't do AI but that Santa looks cute. Love seeing you too!

Those are all so beautiful! I love the Santa and Reindeer and the Nativity! Big Hugs dear friend.

Your nook is a delight.

As for the house in my post today, it is not mine. I'm a janitor, our humble abode does not look nearly like this beautiful place, it's a friend's house.

Coke really has the best commercials - they go to great lengths and expense to make them. I love your nook. Who doesn't love Santa?

DeniseinVA said...
