Take this family for example.  They either really , really like milk or maybe they have a calcium deficiency!  Who knows?  I don’t know, you tell me?

For some people (like me) there is more of an emotional attachment !

Perhaps you find  your refrigerator serves  well for extra storage!

Your refrigerator might display your unusual  gift for color coding!

Or maybe you are one of those individuals who frequents the refrigerator hoping above all hopes that by some magical refrigerator trickery a new food group will suddenly appear out of no where?  Ya, I thought so!

And what about the contents in your refrigerator?  Just how healthy are you?

Do you have a wide variety of items like flowers and a Star Wars Princess Leah cup cake?  See, what I mean?  Now we’re getting somewhere!

My son Zachary feels very strongly that Catsup and photography film is the Zen like formula to  his well balanced (apartment) refrigerator. What is it with men and Catsup anyway?

Just how aggressive are you about the things you love in your refrigerator.  Apparently “April” has had previous issues!

These days I’m finding a practical use for my refrigerator. Turns out its a great place to cool off during the height of my hot flashes and squeeze in some casual reading!

So lets examine the outside of your refrigerator!

Do you use it to display your family art?

Or a photo gallery of your beloved pets?

And at what point do you say it might be a bit much?

Or have you discovered the perfect simple art of display!

The type of refrigerator says a lot about your personal style.  Nowadays there are so many colors and styles to choose from! What does yours look like?

And when you’re done with your refrigerator maybe you will donate it to the “fridgehenge” art scupture!  Its an idea ??

The important thing to remember is let your refrigerator creativity soar!

Oh and one last thing!  The next time a couple of kids call your phone and ask you if your  refrigerator is running….you’ll know what to say!  Old jokes never die!

If you are interested in seeing a movie version of the true Christmas Story then “The Nativity Story”  motion picture is the one for you !  This 2007 release is the best one I’ve seen in years!  Enjoy!

Blue accents on the fire place really set this room apart for the Holiday Season!

White walls and white floor make the blue decorations pop!

Christmas design is not limited to the living room.  This bedroom is a great example !

Subtle touches of Christmas!

I love this table setting for Christmas !

Christmas bulbs look great in this glass vase!

This is a nice example of mixing different types of blue tones.

Its amazing the drama you can achieve with Christmas bulbs!

Blue Christmas decorations look great on a white , silver, blue or green tree!

Love this blue tree!

As you can see the possibilities are endless when it comes to blue and trees!

It all begins with an idea and the colors  you love !

Add some lights and tinsel and you’re half way there!!

So enjoy the blues this season!

And all the festive celebrations this Holiday Season!  Here’s to you and blue!!

Over the years the unconventional electric blue Christmas  lights have become my favorite!!   I love the phosphorescent drama of Sapphire Blue!

Now more than ever blue has become a well established Christmas color option!

I love the brilliant and dramatic contrast you can achieve with coblat  blue.

Tree of lights!

Blue spherical orbs hang over this urban street adding a bit of seasonal whimsy!

A fantastic snow covered blue star lite tree!

Blue with a view! Perfect!

I especially appreciate the unorthodox celestial blue lighting with the stain glass window.   Divinely luminary!!!

A dazzling Christmas Tree all dressed in blue!

So this year you might consider something different for your Christmas decorations.   Just start with a few blue lights and let your imagination light the way!

You can begin simple!

Or big and dramatic!

Wishing you all the joys of this Christmas season and that you may also enjoy the blues!

I know there are millions of bloggers and I only occupy a tiny piece of the pie, but its been so much fun to reach out and meet such wonderful people from all over the world.  The biggest honor and blessing is  I now have a humble following and some very dear loyal bloggers I call my dear friends.

The photograph of me was taken over the Thanksgiving Holiday in California while visiting my brother (FJ) and his family.  I’m sitting at his dining room table reading all your wonderful blogs!  I would like to say  when I arrived at Bobby’s house  the first thing we talked about was all of our terrific friends in the blogosphere!

A special thanks need to go out to FJ, Timm, Sean, Neil, Scott,  Shipra, Claire Pamela , Jennifer  and my Facebook  faithful,  Prescott , Lori and Angie!  I love you all and your amazing talent and input!  I  look forward to the months ahead in sharing and friendship!   I wish you all a very Merry Christmas  and Happy Hanukkah this Holiday Season!

All my heartfelt love and Huge Bear Hugs!
