GARDENIAS! Oh, they are so beautiful. One of my most favorite flowers. Do you grow them in your garden?

When I received my Christmas card today, it really felt like the Christmas season had arrived.

I get my tree Tuesday.

So cute .. with Santa and the enchanted kiddies. W looks like a little kid himself here. They both just radiate *GOODNESS* with a capital G.

I have two gardenia bushes right outside my front door (I planted them four years ago when we moved into our home); hence that wonderful perfume fills my home over the festive season.

I also love jasmine but I am not allowed to have too many perfumed plants around as I am asthmatic. Gardenias were the first choice!

How exciting to receive a Christmas card from the White House. What a wonderful keepsake.
