It's Official!! The Holiday Season has Begun!

Yikes! It's only the beginning of October, however the holiday season is ever so gently easing it's way into our lives. The card shops are displaying a variety of Hallmark Tree ornaments, Michael's and Joann's craft stores are over flowing with numerous items to create our own Christmas decor' and at Rogers Gardens in Newport Beach, California Christmas has arrived in all it's splendor and glory.
My friend Tanya and I found ourselves ooh and awing our way through the different rooms filled with the Magic of the season ....

These rooms truly were filled with the "Magic of Christmas" loved all the chalk board signs scattered about the spaces .....

Rogers Gardens is Celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.  What could be grander then a brilliant red fire place mantel topped with sparkling apothecary jars filled with candles ....
Numerous Candy Jars filled with a variety of treats and windows lined with an assortment of Gingerbread Houses made this room feel like a Bavarian Christmas ....
"Decking the Halls" ... one of my favorite things to do!
I want to know why I haven't thought of doing this .... Some one made a lot of paper chain garlands and hung them all over the ceiling to emulate falling snow!! LOVE this idea! This is just one of the elaborately decorated trees throughout the Christmas rooms!
I found this Tribute To England tree charming! For some reason so many of us are still attached, even if only through our DNA to the motherland and all she exemplifies. So many of our Christmas traditions hail from the English shores!
God Save the Queen .....

May you all find happiness and joy as the holidays approach!
