Welcome, dear friends, to our last Share Your Style (#481) of 2025! This week, we feature all the beauty of Christmas in your posts and mine. The 12 Days of Christmas series I began finishes today with a combined Days 11 & 12. Enjoy this party!
I am Barbara Chapman and I’d love it if you’d follow me here on my blog and on any of my other social media sites, too. Thank you!💜
This has been a very busy week for all of us, I know. I thank each and every one of you for coming over for SYS all year and look forward to seeing what you post in 2026! 🙂
Somehow (I know how, God’s grace!), I wrote 7 posts this week, … okay, 8, if you include SYS, too! Anyway, here they are listed for you, with the final one out of order at the top. A really fun week of decorating, photographing, and writing!
As author Jan Karon said in her book, Shepherds Abiding, as her main character talks about not getting ahead of the season with decorating for Christmas before Halloween and Thanksgiving are over,
“It’s a bit like hitting high C and holding it for two months.”
Father Tim, Shepherds Abiding, Jan Karon

I feel a lot like that these past four weeks since Thanksgiving! I am ready for a short break, how about you?? 😉
*** I have reread this book every year since it was first published, every fall. This is not a sponsored post but I truly hope you will pick up a copy! It will bless your life. 💜Â

Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
Dreaming of a White Christmas is this sweet holiday post from Penny of Penny’s Treasures. Always lovely, always Christmas-y…Lumagica und Christkindlmarkte ~ A gorgeous visit to Christmas markets in Innsbruck, Austria with Violetta on their blog Naturpurfotos (Pure Nature Photos). Yes!!!!!This stunning Collage Christmas Hutch is from Jeanne Selep from her blog Selep Imaging. Gorgeous!!! (And I finally figured out how to share photos with captions. 😉 )
Missy at Sonata Home Design brings us a tasty recipe for these Rumchata Cheesecake Pudding Shots ~ perfect for your holiday parties at New Year’s!!
Thank You so much to everyone who linked up this past week. A special thank you to everyone for always promoting Share Your Style on your blog and on your social media channels! I do see it when I stop by and I appreciate the love. 💜

Thank you, all, for linking up! The party is open all weekend until Monday at 6:00p.m. so you have plenty of time. Do NOT think you have to slog through all of my writings at once ~ it’s a lot because I like to write. 😉
The message this time of year is always about the Love of Jesus for all peoples of our world. May he light yours now and into the New Year 2026!

Merry Christmas, Debbie! We had a nice Christmas Eve attending our church’s service, which was wonderful! Denton Bible has a full orchestra and they played some incredible Christmas music! Our son and grandson arrived this evening and we hope to a little fishing after church tomorrow. Should be a fun week! Hope your Christmas has been good with your sons and family! 🎄
