Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy, safe and peaceful Christmas too Susan
Susan, Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. I’m hopeful that 2021 will bring renewal for all of us. I look forward to your posts every week because they are so much more than fashion advice — they are about attitude and making the most of what we have in our lives. God bless!
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey. Wishing you a safe and healthy 2021.
I find your posts so calming and delightful! What a respite during these crazy times.
Hope you and My. Mickey enjoy the holiday season and find ways to rest, relax, recharge your batteries and find more wonder in our world.
Lovely pictures, thank you for sharing.
Happy Holidays to you and Mr. Mickey!
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey. Enjoy your holidays and time off.
Thank you Susan for providing an interesting, informative and happy place to check into.
I sincerely appreciate all the time, energy and work that you put into it for so many to benefit from.
May God bless you and Mr. Mickey, merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey!!!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Mickey, and all of your followers around the world. Tis the season to wish one another love, joy, and peace. These are my utmost wishes for all of you.
Love the hometown sites! With roots in East Tennessee we frequently travel through and have gotten curious about your lovely city. Besides the sites you have shown above, are there other parts of Johnson CIty that you would recommend to visitors?
Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Christmas>
Asheville, NC, and all it has to offer is only about an hour away. The drive along Interstate 26 provides stunning mountain views. Roan Mountain Balds are less than an hour away. Visit the world’s largest natural rhododendron gardens atop 6,000 feet. Roan Mountain is worth the trip, but you can also hike the Appalachian Trail as it runs along the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol, Elizabethton, and Jonesbourgh are a very short drive apart. Each town has its own unique shops, neighborhoods, parks, and restaurants. There are several family biking paths along old railroad beds and mountain biking trails in several parks. There are railroad museums, art museums, and the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. The Great Smokie Mountains National Park is about an hour’s drive away also. The Blue Ridge Parkway and Blowing Rock, North Carolina, are also wonderful to visit in the summer. They are also close by for a day trip.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Susan. Once again you have shared some beautiful shots of the area. I love to drive into town and see all the streets lit up at this time of year. We may not have anyone see them, but I have added an extra tree this year just for us two to enjoy Thank you for keeping up with the blog in this very stressful year and enjoy your time off this week to celebrate and soak in the holiday.
I have always loved driving around looking at Christmas lights since I was a little girl. My Mom would pile us in the car, buy hamburgers and fries (rare treat( and away we would go.
Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year!
Merry Christmas and BE WELL, Susan and Mr Mickey!
What a fun post! Thank you! Marry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey.
Merry Christmas and thanks for being a bright light to us!
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Enjoy the holiday season!
Merry Christmas to you and yours! You have taught me so much about health, fashion, travel and having “an attitude of gratitude” and appreciation for the environment we find ourselves in.
I enjoyed the pictures of the bright lights you shared, and am reminded that your blog was a source of comfort and pleasure and was a bright light for me in 2020.
Thank you!
My sentiments exactly!!
Just lovely, Susan! I love driving to see the neighborhood Christmas lights too! You and Mr. Mickey always look elegant and suave. Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania! ❤️⛄️
I love it when a community decorates their downtown and parks for the holidays. It shows such a sense of pride. My little town does a “Light Up The Park” display in the community park.
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey.
Thank you for the tour.I have always enjoyed your trips and pictures .
Wishes for a blessed and Merry Christmas and New Year.
Merry Christmas, Susan and Mr. Mickey!
What a delightful post! Merry Christmas to you and Mr Mickey!
My parents lived in Johnson City after they were married. My father worked for the TVA and was working in the area. They also lived in Knoxville. It’s such a beautiful area. Thank you for sharing the photos of the Christmas decorations around Johnson City. I really enjoyed seeing the photos.
Merry Christmas!
Mr. Mickey looks “mahvelous”, as do you. This was such an enjoyable post, thank you for helping us get through 2020 with a little more class. Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey.
Merry Christmas, Susan!
I always look forward to your blog and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into writing it.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas.
Wow, you and Mr. Mickey look especially attractive dressed so similar in colors. Loved the look on both of you.
The red scarf made it somewhat festive but do you ever wear something whimsical around the house like a tee or sweatshirt with perhaps a star, angel, cardinal bird or snowman during the holidays or is everything basic and staid always?
The extra pictures of the lights were as usual, very nice and makes a person want to jump into the picture and have a better look or maybe drive the same roads to see the same wonderful sights you share.
Thanks again for a “tour” around your area to see the sparkling light displays.
Clara from Iowa
I’ve never been a fan of whimsical clothing, so I’ve never owned a Christmas sweater or sweatshirt.
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey! Enjoy a break from blog posting and I will be looking forward to your return. Your blog is inspirational and informative.
Thank you for the tour of your charming area. We missed our annual trip to Boston to see the the tree lighting and the interactive music and tree display at Quincy Market. All the shops and restaurants in the North End where my son lived would be festively decorated. We would shop, eat wonderful food and visit with my son and his friends. This year, we didn’t see Boston and won’t see my son. So looking at festive scenery lightens my spirit. Thank you. So until we can travel again, Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing.
Merry CHRISTmas to you and Mr. Mickey!!
Happiest of holidays to you and yours. I appreciate your blog!
Merry Christmas! You’re making me homesick. We get back quite often, but we will miss seeing the lights at Founders Park and the university.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos, especially the ones with all the tress decorated in a different single color. There’s something very heartwarming and comforting about seeing a photo of you and Mr. Mickey dressed in the spirit of the holiday at this time of year. People can easily lose hope with all the changes that have taken place, and you both have taken us away from our dismal thoughts and given us a reminder of the wonderment of this season. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you both.
Merry Christmas. May you be blessed with good health and happiness in 2021. Your blog always brightens my day.
Wishing you and Mr Mickey and a Merry Christmas.
What a treat Susan, thank you so much for sharing the wonderful pictures of your holiday tour. Have a very merry Christmas!
Just beautiful. Merry Christmas and thank you for the tour of your wonderful country throughout the year .
Such a stylish couple! Love seeing the Christmas lights and decorations. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey
You are so fortunate to have such interesting and beautiful sights near you. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a peaceful Christmas and 2021 brings good you and Mr Mickey good health .
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and Mr. Mickey! Thank you for bringing so much fun and interesting information on travel, health and fashion! I discovered your blog earlier this year and will remain a devoted reader. Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Susan and Mr. Mickey. I enjoy your blog and the variety you give related to fashion, food, products, scenery and so much more. It is refreshing and informative. So many times it makes me smile! These days anything that brings a smile to us is certainly worth while and needed. Thank you so much.
Enjoy your Holidays and your respite! Best wishes for 2021.
Did Mr. Mickey do the Santa event this year? I was hoping if he did that there would be pictures of the children with him – always a delight to see them.
The event was canceled due to the virus.
You’ve shown us the vest before, and it’s one of my favorites. It’s so becoming on you and looks toasty warm. Isn’t it amazing how some red accessories make all the difference! Lovely!
I think you should reserve that nice retreat center for some time after we’re all vaccinated and we can come to a retreat there and learn more good tips. I’d come for sure!
That would be so wonderful!
Thanks for the memories. Merry Christmas
I love seeing your pictures and stories. I live in northern maine so your is a different culture. Keep it up and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Susan, Merry Christmas and wishing you peace and joy in the New Year.
Merry Christmas and blessings in the year to come, Susan and Mr. Mickey!
Thank you for the lovely photos Susan. Happy Christmas to you and Mr Mickey and good health to you both in 2021.
Wishing you and Mr Mickey a very Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year!
Thank you for the delightful holiday photos!!! Merry Christmas to you and your Mr Mickey!
Thank you for taking me on the lovely tour of your city. It is beautiful. I especially enjoyed seeing the house where you and Mr. Mickey met at a Christmas party!
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey! ! Enjoy your holiday time off. I just wanted to thank you for all the great fashion tips and peeks into your closets, home etc. Very enjoyable because none of us are getting out much, so it’s great to “be along” on your various adventures and side trips with you and Mr. Mickey.
YOU TWO are the BEST!! THANK YOU for sharing. May the holidays and 2021 bring good health and happiness to YOU and Mr. Mickey.
What a lovely, nostalgic trip this was for me! When you said as a child you loved to ride around and look at the lights, I recalled that my parents bundled us up in the car and we always drove through the Gump Addition.
My grandmother lived on Maple Street, so we got to enjoy the Tree Street decorations, too.
I must say, Mr. Mickey looks like he stepped out of Gentleman’s Quarterly Magazine! He always did have such style. And you, as beautiful and stylish as ever.
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, Susan and Mr Micky! Thank you for sharing! Beautiful pictures!
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey. May we all enjoy a healthy new year.
What a joy to visit these sites, I am far away in B.C. Canada, so will probably never see this in person. I especially enjoy seeing the old historic homes. Thank you for this, and your blog which I enjoy always. Best Wishes to you and Mr. Mickey, for a healthy holiday and a new year full of vaccine and no isolating! Ann Lee S
Thank You, another beautiful post. Wishing You and Mr Mickey a Safe and Healthy Holiday. Cheers

Merry Christmas, Susan and Mr. Mickey! I enjoyed the trip through your area, with its beautiful older homes and downtowns. You and Mr. Mickey also look quite dashing. It’s fun to see his wardrobe selections, as well as yours. Here’s to a wonderful New Year, 2021!
Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey. Thank you for the lovely pictures.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you Susan & Mr. Mickey (from Vancouver, BC)
Enjoy your break Susan and stay well. Merry Christmas to you & Mr. Mickey.
Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing all your tips this year!
Have a Happy Christmas. Thank you for including all of us in your Christmas Lights Drive. What a beautiful night.
Hi Susan, lovely holiday pics! I ordered the merino Margot sweater after you introduced it in red. Glad I got it before it sold out in my size. I haven’t worn it yet. Some reviews on the J. Crew website say it doesn’t launder well, and some suggest to dry clean, even though the instructions say you can machine wash. Just wondering what you recommend? The fabric is lovely. Thank you!
If you wash it in your machine, use the gentle cycle on cold water. Hang it on a felted hanger to dry. It will shrink if you use hot water or the dryer.
Mandy, I gently hand-washed the Margot and laid flat to dry but the bottom of the sweater had to take considerable damp pressing to get back in shape. I will dry clean in the future. This is just my experience. I do hand wash some cashmere with success. Shrinkage was not a problem.
Thank you for sharing, Cheryl. I will dry clean mine next time. I also had better luck with washing cashmere by hand.
Thanks to all! I am thinking of ordering the ultra thin “Tissue Turtleneck,” from J Crew, to wear underneath, so I won’t have to launder the merino wool one as often. Hope it doesn’t add too much bulk!
I am wearing a tissue turtleneck under an Everlane French Terry top right now. Excellent choice!
Thank you. Beautiful pictures. Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey.
A wonderful tour. I couldn’t get out this year to see the decorations but I’ll bet they were pretty. They decorate a lot along the coast with special displays and concerts you can see and hear from your car. Thank you for letting us enjoy this trip with you. Merry Christmas and looking forward to a new year of your wonderful blog.
I’m happy to say your purpose has been an inspiration to me. Merry Christmas!
Lovely, thank you and Merry Christmas
Have a wonderful Christmas, Susan. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely community and the beautiful holiday decorations. I just got my crimson band jacket from Macy’s this week – it’s perfect for our southern California weather. Blessings – DeeDee Stephens
Thank you, Susan, for another beautiful post. Merry Christmas to you and Mr Mickey and a new year of health and peace!
Beautiful pictures! We live in Austin, Texas, and miss the snow we had in Pennsylvania. I particularly loved to walk at night as the snow was falling and it was so quiet and the snow would glisten. It was like everything is right in the world. Merry Christmas to you
Thank you. Lovely photos….Happy Christmas to you and Mr. Mickey!!

Thank you, Susan, for sharing photos of Johnson City ‘dressed-up’ for Christmas. Our oldest don lives there & we won’t be together for Christmas. So seeing these photos makes me feel a little closer to him.
I also enjoyed photos of Jonesborough, as we have attended several Intl. Storytelling festivals there.
Hope you & Mr. Mickey have a blessed & peaceful celebration of Christmas.
Be well. Stay safe!

Hi Susan,
Thank you for sharing your community with me, I so enjoyed going down memory lane with you. I think seeing lights up is so pretty and it helps lift your spirits. The month of December is not always an easy month for people. On the UP side
of life, you give so much to others and YOU put so much of yourself into everything you know and do on your blog. The world would be a much better place if we took the blessings we have and blessed someone else, like what YOU always do.
Wish you and your family and your Adventure Partner Mr. Mickey a peaceful and joyful Christmas.
Your are a Blessing to so many.
Warmly,
Katherine Allan in Arizona

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Susan & Mister Mickey! Thank you both for a year of beauty and inspiration!
I was born in Memphis and spent the 1st 11 years in Memphis and Nashville. I love your tours into the country, and if it weren’t for a bad fir tree allergy, I would have gladly retired to Tennessee. Thanks for the memories! Thanks, too, for all the tips. I’m short and large busted, so I really appreciate the hints on visually minimizing that area! A blessed Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas Susan. Thanks for sharing beautiful photos
Love these drives you take through the areas around you. So striking with beautiful houses and downtown areas. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Tomorrow is my birthday and after the 6 p.m. Christmas Eve service at our church, we too will be driving through various neighborhoods to look at the pretty lights and decorations. Merry Christmas!
