Christmas Home?

I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas with family members and loved ones. I know some of us were busy shopping last minute, but we all enjoyed the warmth of being with our loved ones. I ask my self this question:

What is the best design for a warm, Christmas-like, family-ortiented home?


I very quickly picture a log cabin, with a fireplace in the living-room/family-room area. I also think of a cozy, New York-style apartment, with windows over-looking the city. I think about these things and realize that not all of us live where there is cold weather. Sure, the northern United States have snow and colder temperatures; but what about Southern United States? Can a home in Florida have that "family, cozy, Christmas" feeling like a log Cabin home does in up-state New York? Well, a home, a house, a dwelling, can symbolize a lot of things but its main purpose is to house a family. Now, the Christmas feeling can be achieved not because of the house, but through the family getting together and spending time together. Never forgetting the meaning of the day, which was the birth of Christ.

As I thought about this, I realized that a home doesn't have to be designed in a special way to make it feel like Christmas; it needs to have a loving, kind, and grateful family that remember's the birth of Christ!

God Bless!
